Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 concept stands out with a unique vertical bar design

Speaking of the design of foldable phone products, besides the folding capability, design is also a aspect that users pay great attention to. However, unfortunately, at the current time, the concept of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is still a mystery, so I will use the design concept of Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold by the channel TechConfigurations and this is also the appearance that I hope Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will have in the future.

Therefore, I'll utilize the video concept above to illustrate the overall design of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, providing you with a more comprehensive view of the device!

Based on the images of the device in the video segment, we can see a highly unique foldable smartphone with the screen folded outward instead of inward. However, I don't hope Xiaomi adopts this approach for Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, as it would be quite risky and could lead to damages to the screen while in use. Therefore, I still prefer the inward folding screen like the previous generation Xiaomi MIX Fold 2.

But what I'm expecting from Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is that the device will feature a camera module design similar to the device in the above video concept. With a long vertical bar located on the side, housing the camera sensors and the familiar Xiaomi logo below, it's completely different from the horizontal rectangular camera module of Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. I believe with this design, Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will be able to make a very impressive impression on customers from the first glance. Moreover, this allows you to take selfies right when folded and provides the external screen of the device with seamless display and better viewing without having to 'punch holes' to accommodate the selfie camera below!

Not only that, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 has done very well in optimizing slimness and compactness, so I have high expectations for a slim and compact appearance in the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 generation to inherit these factors.

In the latest article about Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, the website Specifications Plus predicts that Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will be equipped with an 8.1-inch inner display, accompanied by a 6.4-inch outer display, both operating on AMOLED panels and delivering images with a resolution of 2K+ for the inner screen and Full HD+ for the outer screen. Additionally, both screens will feature a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz to ensure users always have smooth operation experiences on Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 regardless of how they use it.

The above specifications are also what I highly anticipate in this generation of MIX Fold 3 because for a foldable phone, the screen quality is always the most concerning factor for users.

To ensure the durability of a foldable phone, the hinge is the most crucial part. According to many opinions, including mine, the flexibility of the hinge on Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is still quite 'rigid' despite being tighter than its competitors. Therefore, I hope that in the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 generation, this issue will be improved by Xiaomi to provide better quality and experience for the company's customers.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 stands out with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 configuration

Not only a foldable phone, Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is also a device in the premium segment. Therefore, having strong performance with a flagship chip is not difficult to predict, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 is the chip I choose this time. This is an upgraded version of the most powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 at the moment and will be launched in the future. So, if Xiaomi indeed equips Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, the performance of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will not disappoint you!

In addition, to fully leverage the power of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, I hope Xiaomi will equip Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 with 12 GB of RAM for seamless multitasking and smoother operation, minimizing lag issues. Along with that, the device will also have internal storage options of 256 GB, 512 GB, or possibly up to 1 TB to provide ample storage space and more suitable choices for usage needs.

Next is the issue that I believe enthusiasts of foldable phones are very concerned about, which is how much battery capacity Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will have. With a slim and lightweight design, I don't have high expectations for a larger battery of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3. Personally, I feel that a 4,500 mAh battery can still meet the usage needs for nearly a day for basic tasks and light entertainment, so instead of long battery life, I hope for a thinner and lighter design.

Will the partnership with Leica continue in the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 generation?

This will be a question that many of you are curious about, as from the Xiaomi 12S series to Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, significant achievements have been made in collaboration with Leica. The works created under this collaboration can be said to be quite perfect, with image quality always maintaining a realistic level and colors balanced quite similarly to the actual scenes. Therefore, I hope Xiaomi will continue to collaborate with Leica in future product projects, especially in Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, to deliver high-quality images as the predecessor generation has done.

In this regard, I hope Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will continue to use a camera system with three rear sensors and a selfie camera with specific specifications as follows:

• Main Camera: 50 MP resolution.
• Ultra Wide Angle Camera: 13 MP resolution.
• Telephoto Camera: 8 MP resolution.
• Selfie Camera: 20 MP resolution.

How much will Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 cost? When will Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 be released?

It's quite regrettable that as of now, the release date of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is still unknown. However, based on its predecessor and the usual annual release cycle for successor versions, it's highly likely that Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will be unveiled in August 2023. As for the price of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, I think it will range from 33 to 35 million for the standard version. This is a price range I find quite reasonable for a foldable phone with such luxurious features. However, this is just my speculation, so stay updated with the latest news to see what's new with Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 on 24h Technology page!
