Xiaomi is set to make waves in the tech world with the upcoming release of its highly anticipated foldable phone, the MIX Fold 3. This innovative device will mark Xiaomi’s first foray into the foldable phone arena, boasting a groundbreaking Leica-optimized quad camera setup that promises to redefine mobile imaging.

The highlight of the MIX Fold 3 is undoubtedly its cutting-edge quad-camera system, developed in collaboration with Leica. Xiaomi has focused on miniaturization, managing to fit four rear cameras within the slim and lightweight chassis of the phone without compromising on imaging performance.

While detailed camera specs are still under wraps, rumors suggest that the quad-camera setup will include a primary Sony IMX800 sensor, an ultra-wide lens, a telephoto snapper with 3.2x optical zoom, and a periscope telephoto lens offering an impressive 5x zoom. Notably, Xiaomi’s competitors, Vivo and Huawei, are currently the only other players offering foldable devices with four rear cameras, each featuring wide, ultra-wide, and two telephoto cameras — one with a periscope lens.

Under the hood, the MIX Fold 3 is expected to be powered by a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, paired with up to a whopping 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and potentially offering up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Running on Android 13 with the MIUI Fold 14.1 overlay, the phone promises a smooth and optimized foldable experience.

In terms of design, the MIX Fold 3 boasts an elegant white curved glass body, giving it a sleek and sophisticated appearance. The phone will feature an expansive 8.02-inch foldable AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz main display, along with a convenient 6.56-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz cover screen. An exciting addition to the device is the rumored integration of an under-display camera within the internal display, adding to its overall appeal. Xiaomi has also introduced the new waterdrop hinge to ensure a slim profile and enhance durability.

Powering the device will be a reliable 4,800mAh battery, supporting 67W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, as per the 3C certification. Additionally, the recent MIIT certification has confirmed the device’s 5G connectivity support, ensuring users stay connected at all times.

The MIX Fold 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the MIX Fold 2, which impressed with its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, 6.56-inch external screen, 8.01-inch internal screen, and Leica imaging system.

With its revolutionary camera capabilities and cutting-edge features, Xiaomi’s latest offering is undoubtedly set to make a significant impact in the foldable phone market. Exciting times lie ahead, and Xiaomi fans can look forward to a groundbreaking addition to their lineup. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as the tech world prepares for these groundbreaking releases.
