Last year, Xiaomi launched the world’s thinnest foldable phone with the Mix Fold 2 and a year later Xiaomi is bringing the Mix Fold 3 as a worthy sequel with upgrades across the board.
Starting with the profile, Mix Fold 3 is even slimmer than its predecessor measuring just 5.26mm in its unfolded state and 10.89mm when folded. Xiaomi engineers designed a new vertically stacked motherboard which helped bring the phone's size down.
Xiaomi also developed an all-new proprietary hinge that consists of 198 components and takes up 17% less internal space. The new hinge comes with a 3-element structure and 14 micro-hinges that tuck in the main folding display for improved durability and a carbon ceramic steel rotating mechanism. Mix Fold 3’s new hinge also supports a 45°- 135° hover opening which allows you to prop the phone like a mini laptop.
Mix Fold 3 has dual E6 OLED displays. The main 8.03-inch LTPO panel brings a 1,960 x 2,160px resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate. The panel features Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and brings HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. The outer 6.56-inch LTPO OLED display is covered with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and brings up to 2,560 nits peak brightness in auto mode.
Moving on to the cameras, Xiaomi equipped Mix Fold 3 with a quad camera system with Leica optics. There’s a 50MP Sony IMX800 main cam (23mm equivalent) with OIS as well as a 12MP ultrawide module (15mm equivalent). Zoom shots are handled by a 10MP telephoto (75mm) with 3x zoom and a 10MP periscope module (115mm) which brings up to 5x optical zoom. Both telephoto modules feature OIS.
Under the hood, Mix Fold 3 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. Mix Fold 3 gains a larger 4,800 mAh battery with the same 67W wired charging as Mix Fold 2 but with added 50W wireless charging. The software side is covered by MIUI 14 based on Android 13.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 comes in glass and composite fiber back versions with prices being the same regardless of the material choice.
RAM/storage | Price | in USD (converted) |
12/256GB | CNY 8,999 | $1,240 |
16/512GB | CNY 9,999 | $1,377 |
16GB/1TB | CNY 10,999 | $1,515 |
Pre-orders in China are open starting today while official sales are set to begin on August 16. Xiaomi did not mention any availability details for international markets.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 in composite fiber and glass back versions
I agree. Nothing I've written is a rule and it's not definitive. A brand just needs one product to change their perspective with the consumer. It wasn't the iphone that did it for Apple. It started with the ipod and itunes. Let me...
Having a 3.2x and 5x seem too close in range for a zoom. Also, incidentally it has dual 10MP cameras, just like the S23 Ultra's cameras. The 3.2x could easily replace the 5x zoom, so having a separate 5x seems pointless
