Xiaomi has announced the launch timeline of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 successor, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 smartphone. As per the details shared by Xiaomi President Lu Weibing, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will be released in August. The company president confirmed these details while responding to the user’s question. Additionally, Xiaomi President Lui Weibing also shared details that the company has launched a new smart factory, and the first phone that will be manufactured in the new unit will be the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. We’ve been expecting the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 for a while now, and we’ve heard a few rumors about the device already. Now, Xiaomi has officially confirmed the existence of the foldable phone and given us a launch window. Redmi general manager Lu Weibing confirmed on Weibo that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 was coming, adding that its next generation of foldables was thinner and stronger. The executive attributed these improvements to a new manufacturing system. Lu also confirmed to a follower that the Mix Fold 3 would debut in August. We’re guessing this is the Chinese release rather than a global release. But if the firm’s previous Mix Fold phones are anything to go by, then we shouldn’t expect a global launch at all. Either way, one recent Xiaomi leak points to a foldable phone with a Flex Mode. This would be a major upgrade for the Mix Fold series, which has lacked a free-stop hinge and Flex Mode until now. A prominent Weibo tipster has also suggested that an upcoming Xiaomi foldable phone will pack a 4,800mAh battery, 120W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. The Mix Fold 3 will enter an increasingly competitive foldable phone segment in this quarter, as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 will be revealed this month. Other foldable phones set to launch in this quarter include the HONOR Magic V2 and OnePlus foldable. Toss in other foldable phones like the Google Pixel Fold, OPPO Find N2, vivo X Fold 2, and HUAWEI Mate X3, and there’s no shortage of competitors. Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 arrives in August with Leica cameras Official Announcement Xiaomi President Lu Weibing today announced that the Mix Fold 3 is coming in August. He responded with the news to a question on Weibo, in the comments of a post he made about Xiaomi's latest factory upgrade. The new Smart Factory was officially launched and the first model it will mass produce will be exactly the Mix Fold 3. Apparently there have been a lot of upgrades in terms of manufacturing systems to ensure that the Mix Fold 3 can be thinner and stronger at the same time. It will also have Leica-branded cameras, unsurprisingly. The Mix Fold 2 launched in August of last year, so it seems like that month is now more or less a tradition for new Xiaomi foldables arriving. That model is 11.2mm thick in its folded state. That was already mind-blowing (for Samsung, especially), but it seems that Xiaomi has somehow managed to make the Mix Fold 3 even thinner than that. The bad news, according to a very recent rumor, is that the Mix Fold 3 will apparently stay confined to China just like its predecessor, not getting an official international launch. That would be a pity, but we're used to Chinese companies being afraid to take their foldables outside of their home market - it's been a trend over the past couple of years. Only Samsung benefits from this really, and consumers lose, but it is what it is. The Mix Fold 3 has been rumored to come with an under-display selfie camera on the main folding screen, a 5x periscope zoom lens on the back, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset at the helm, and support for 50W wireless charging.

Ans) Digital Chat Station has disclosed the specs of an unnamed foldable smartphone on Weibo. He says that the engineering model (prototype) of this product flaunts a white curved glass body. Going by the features, the device sounds more like the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 whose specs have been popping now and then from different sources. Even the netizens’ comments suggest the same. As per the tipster, the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It sports a quad-camera system. Two of these cameras feature zoom lenses. One of them has a 3.2x zoom lens for portraits, while the other has a 5x periscope lens for long-range zoom. The foldable has a new water-drop hinge that strengthens the performance of drop resistance. It continues to be thin and light like its predecessor and supports 67W wired as well as 50W wired charging. According to MIUI code, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is likely codenamed ‘Babylon’ carrying model number 2308CPXD0C. It also goes by L18 and is expected to launch in August. Previous leaks have revealed that the handset will arrive with an 8.02-inch main display and a 6.5-inch cover screen. Both panels will offer an FHD+ resolution and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. On the inside, it will come equipped with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. It is tipped to be IP-rated and might come with an under-display camera. Unfortunately, just like previous iterations, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will probably not release in global markets. It may remain exclusive to mainland China and is expected to arrive in leather and glass back variants. 2) What are Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 key specifications (rumoured)? Ans) Several smartphone brands in China have launched their foldable phones in different colours. However, none of them have released a white variant. The new leak states that the MIX Fold 3 will be offered in white and have a curved glass back. The tipster has reiterated that the device will be lighter and thinner than the MIX Fold 2. To recall, the predecessor model weighs 252 grams and has a thickness of 11.2mm when folded. Talking further about the MIX Fold 3’s design, the tipster said that it will be equipped with a new waterdrop hinge, which increases its drop resistance. The leaker has previously claimed that the device will offer IP-certified dust and water resistance. However, the exact IP rating is not known yet. The tipster did not mention the battery size of the MIX Fold 3. However, he claimed that the device will support 67W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The predecessor model lacked support for wireless charging. The MIX Fold 3 will be equipped with a quad-camera system on the back. As per the new leak, it will include a telephoto camera that will offer 3.2x optical zoom and a periscope zoom camera with 5x optical zoom. It is speculated that the device will have the same rear cameras that are available on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Hence, the MIX Fold 3 may feature a Sony IMX989 50-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The remaining two cameras are also said to have a 50-megapixel resolution. Other reports have revealed that the MIX Fold 3 has an 8.02-inch OLED inner foldable screen and a 6.5-inch OLED cover display. Both displays are said to offer Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will run on Android 13 OS and MIUI 14. The cover screen is said to be equipped with an under-display camera. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will power the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3. The SoC will be paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
