Later today, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is about to be officially revealed to the world. But ahead of the official announcement, an interesting poster has emerged. It showcases a special rendition of the phone that utilizes a premium back material. Xiaomi calls it “Dragon Scale Fiber.”
This new material of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is a blend of ceramic fiber and aramid fiber. Xiaomi has made the combination go through a high-temperature and high-pressure composite molding process. The result is a material that’s more durable and resilient than glass.
What the Dragon Scale Fiber for Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Means
Considering how resilient the material is, the special edition of Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will have some key advantages. For example, it will feature higher toughness, impact resistance, and puncture resistance. One interesting fact here is that the ceramic fiber is thinner than a strand of hair.

But even with such thinness, the material can handle a stretching force of 1.15 kg. That equals 36 times more resistant to impacts compared to regular glasses. Now, as the material is premium, the special rendition of the Mix Fold 3 will be more expensive than the regular version.
There’s no official information about the pricing yet. But the Dragon Scale Fiber edition of Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 could be 200 to 500 Yuans more than the regular version. That converts from 28 USD to 83 USD higher. But the good news is that Xiaomi generally packs special edition devices with max specs.
That means the price tag of the Mix Fold 3 Dragon Scale Fiber edition will definitely be worth it. And as you can see from the picture attached above, the special edition does look cooler than the regular version. So, if you want to make your foldable phone stand out, the Dragon Scale Fiber edition would be the one to get.
