Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 with slim design and refined hinge launched; Check features, price, other details
Synopsis
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Pixel Fold. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 5's tall and narrow build, the Mix Fold 3 offers a relatively wider body. Xiaomi notes the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 features a proprietary "Micro Waterdrop hinge".
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is an upgrade of the Mix Fold 2, which made news when it was introduced last year and billed as the "world's thinnest foldable phone." Even if the Mix Fold 3 is now thinner than its predecessor, the Honour Magic V2 is still the slimmest phone on the market.
The Mix Fold 3 features two E6 OLED screens. The main 8.03-inch display uses LTPO technology and has a resolution of 1,960 x 2,160 pixels with capability for 120Hz refresh rate. The secondary 6.56-inch external display is made of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and LTPO OLED technology.
