The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold and MIX Fold 2 were quite interesting devices, especially the second-gen model. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will launch next month, and much like its predecessors, this handset won’t be sold globally either.
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is coming next month, but won’t be sold globally
This information comes from Ice Universe, a well-known tipster. We’re not sure why Xiaomi doesn’t take the plunge and make the device available at least in some countries, but there you go.
The company probably doesn’t think that it’s worth it just yet. Foldables apparently didn’t take off to the level Xiaomi wanted, or something of the sort. That’s a shame, though, as the MIX Fold 2 is quite an interesting device, and very thin for a foldable. It would bring much-needed competition to the Galaxy Z Fold series.
Now, the company’s President, Lu Weibing, did announce that the phone is coming in August, to China. It is also official that Leica lenses will be a part of the package, and some of the company’s camera prowess on the software side of things.
We still do not know when exactly will it launch, however. As the launch event gets closer, Xiaomi will likely share more information. So stay tuned for that, if you’re interested.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will fuel it, while you can also expect to get a periscope camera
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will likely fuel the phone, while the phone could also offer some sort of water resistance, unlike its predecessor. We do expect the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 to be as thin or thinner than its predecessor.
A periscope camera is also tipped for the device, which is not something we usually get on foldables. Xiaomi will likely include LPDDR5X RAM here, along with UFS 4.0 flash storage. Android 13 will come pre-installed, with MIUI on top of it.
It remains to be seen what other improvements Xiaomi has in store for us, as the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 was a substantial leap from the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold.
