For the last couple of years, Xiaomi has been releasing foldable smartphones in the second half of the year. Thus, enthusiasts are looking forward to the company’s next-gen foldable device in the next few months.
This phone is expected to be called Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. We have been herding about it since February.
Earlier today, a reliable Chinese leaker seems to have revealed some of the specs of this upcoming foldable handset. Let’s check out what he has to say.
Xiaomi’s next foldable could be a camera powerhouse
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.
