Xiaomi is all set to unveil the Mi Max 3 in China and after a confirmation of a July launch, the company's CEO Lei Jun shared the first image of what is seemingly the retail box of the upcoming Mi Max 3.

In a post on his official Weibo account, Jun suggests that the Mi Max 3 might be released "early" with the announcement expected later this month.

This will be coupled with 3GB/ 4GB/ 6GB of RAM and 32GB/ 64GB/ 128GB of inbuilt storage. Storage will be expandable via microSD card.
