A new rumor brings new details about the alleged Xiaomi Mix Fold 3, expected as the Chinese giant’s next folding smartphone. Apparently, in addition to maintaining the extremely thin body of the predecessor and having the updated processing suite, the device should bring important improvements to the camera and construction, including the addition of a periscope lens and certification of resistance against water damage.
Discussing the recently launched Vivo X Fold 2, which draws attention to its 4,800 mAh battery with 120 W recharge, the leaker Digital Chat Station — whose leak history has proven reliable so far — brought news about Xiaomi’s next foldable cell phone. According to the informant, the alleged Mix Fold 3 should maintain the 67 W recharge of the previous generation, not as exciting as the Vivo Mobile competitor, but it should have some tricks up its sleeve, starting with the thickness.
Digital Chat Station does not cite numbers, but says that the device is “much lighter and thinner” than the X Fold 2 and, as expected, will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm’s premium chipset present in practically all Android smartphones premium of 2023. More interesting than that are the answers that the leaker gave to Weibo users, regarding other features that the Xiaomi phone should offer.
Apparently, the novelty should embark on wireless charging and bet on a periscope telephoto lens, with more advanced optical zoom, a very rare technology in the folding segment. Another weighty change would be the addition of some level of water protection, but the informant still does not know which certification would be granted to the Mix Fold 3 — the model would still be in full development, and should take a few more months to be evaluated by the International Electrotechnical Commission , or IEC, body responsible for IP certification.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 should bring modest advances
Despite still having few known details, it is not the first time that rumors mention the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. The next generation of the Chinese giant’s folding was present in another rumor of Digital Chat Station, released last month, which indicated that the device should finally mark the arrival of Xiaomi’s Fold line to the global market. In addition, the company is expected to maintain most of the features of last year’s model.
Therefore, in addition to the low thickness and processing with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Mix Fold 3 could bring a flexible 8.02-inch screen with Full HD + resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, a 6.56-inch external display also equipped with Full HD+ resolution and 120 Hz rate, triple camera with 50 MP main sensor and 4,500 mAh battery, with 67 W recharge. In August.
