At its August 2023 conference, the Chinese giant Xiaomi showed the expected folding smartphone with the name Xiaomi MIX Fold 3". It brought the desired improvements, while Xiaomi also focused on quality cameras.
In international sales through our partner!
Our partner seller TradingShenzhen, as the first international e-shop on the market, comes with the sale of the latest smartphone Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, which is still available in the Chinese version. The disadvantage of this version is the absence of the B20 LTE band in the support, which in the territory of Slovakia and the Czech Republic means that you cannot connect to the 4G LTE network outside the city. In the city, the signal will work without problems, outside the city on the 2G / 3G network.
The phone also comes with a Chinese version of the MIUI superstructure, which basically has only Chinese and English languages available. However, the seller will install complete Google services on your phone, which are functional.
It is available from China via treated Global Priority duty-free shipping, which we have already tested ourselves on a number of packages and works excellently.

[Exclusive REVIEW] Xiaomi MIX Fold 3: The best foldable smartphone in Xiaomi history
Beautiful and extremely slim design
By design, from Xiaomi MIX Fold 2" it differs only in small things, except for the back with a new camera module. But the most surprising thing is the thickness of the smartphone, which Xiaomi managed to compress 5,26 mm.
In the closed state, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 only has 10,96 mm with no unnecessary gap between the folded halves, making this the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world. The weight is a very pleasant 262 grams.
3 different back surfaces and a new hinge
The surface of the back side can be either of special carbon surface, matte glass or vegan leather, which we could see, for example, with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra smartphone. The smartphone looks real premium and elegant.
The hinge is also new, which is made of new materials, specifically steel and carbon ceramic. It consists of a three-member connecting rod and 198 rotating hinge components. This new construction should ensure up to 500 bends, which is approximately twice as much as offered by competitors.
The new hinge can thus hold in almost any position, specifically from 45 to 135 degrees, thus finally catching up with the competition. The interface of the Android and MIUI operating systems is then adapted to the tilt of the display itself, which is a function Hover mode.
2 OLED displays
On the body we find two displays again. The external one has a diagonal 6,56-inch, is an OLED type with Full HD+ resolution and a 120-hertz refresh rate. At its peak, the brightness reaches up to 2 rivets and it is covered by durable glass Corning Gorilla Glass Victory 2.
The internal display is slightly larger, it covers it UTG glass with a thickness of 0,03 mm, it has 8,03-inch, is also OLED with 2K resolution, up to 120-hertz refresh rate and there is also LTPO technology, which will reduce the refresh rate of the display down to 1 Hz. Here, too, the maximum brightness is up to 2 rivets.
The highest possible performance and top Leica cameras
Performance is taken care of by the current market leader, namely the chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 together with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 terabyte of storage without support for microSD memory cards. He has everything under his thumb Android 13 with superstructure MIUI 14.
Xiaomi kept it best on the back in the form of up to four cameras, where the Leica inscription is next to them, so here too the two companies have worked together to bring the best photos in a foldable device.
It's about classic (23mm) ultra wide angle (15 mm) a two telescopic telephoto lenses. One with 3,5x zoom (75mm) and the other with 5x zoom (115mm). In addition to the ultra-wide-angle sensor, they all have optical stabilization. In both displays there is a shot for 20-megapixel selfie camera.
Stereo speakers and a 4 mAh battery
They are located together on the body of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 two high-quality stereo speakers, thus the sound will definitely be richer, which will be appreciated especially by lovers of movies and series.
The dual battery with capacity will also please 4800 mAh. It can be charged in two ways - with the help of a cable it will go at maximum speed 67 W, which is 100% in 40 minutes and wireless up to 50 watts, i.e. to 100% in 55 minutes. For the battery, Xiaomi used up to 3 Surge chips with the designations G1 and P1, which improve the resulting endurance per charge.
