Xiaomi’s Director of Product Marketing has busted the rumor that there’s a Snapdragon 710-powered version of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 on the way. This info was posted on Weibo and fans weren’t too happy about it.

The Mi Max 3 Pro rumor started with info spotted on Qualcomm’s website and promised to upgrade the mid-range Snapdragon 636 with the more premium 710 chip (which in our testing is pretty close to the S835).

The Max’s key feature is its huge 6.9” screen and that was enough for some people in the comment section. Others who wanted a large screen but also some more processing power said they would look at one of the Mi Mix phones, some even threatened to get an Honor Note 10 instead (a similarly huge phone with a 6.95” screen and Kirin 970, but not officially unveiled as of yet).
