Xiaomi has been making waves in the smartphone industry with its innovative designs and cutting-edge technology. The latest addition to its lineup is the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, which is expected to be released in September 2023. The phone is a foldable device that comes with a host of features that make it stand out from the competition. According to a popular and reliable Weibo tech blogger, @Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will make up for the regrets of the MIX Fold 2. He claims that this device will come with an under-screen camera. In addition, 5x periscope telephoto lens and 50W wireless flash charging.
Design and Display
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 has a foldable OLED display that measures 8.01 inches when unfolded. The screen has a resolution of 1860 x 2480 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio. When folded, the phone has a glass front and a plastic back, with a Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The phone is available in black and ceramic colors, with a ceramic back and an aluminium frame. As reported by PhoneAqua, the phone weighs 317g when the glass front is folded and 262g when unfolded.
Placing the front camera under the display is one of the major talking points of this device. It is not easy to achieve because the camera needs to receive enough light for a decent output. Since the screen is transparent, it is a big issue. For this reason, under display camera is not so popular even though a few mobile phones use it.
