Earlier this week, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 in China. As the moniker of the device suggests, it is the third-generation foldable phone from the brand. The original Mix Fold and the Mix Fold 2 have remained exclusive to the Chinese market. So, will the Mix Fold 3 released in the global market? Here’s what Daniel Desjarlais, the Communications Director for Xiaomi, said about it.

As reports had previously claimed, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 will remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Samsung, Huawei, and Motorola have been consistently launching foldable phones for a couple of years. Tecno released its first Phantom V Fold foldable phone this year in multiple markets. OPPO released the Find N2 Flip in different markets, and there are rumors that it will launch the Find N3 soon in the global market.

OnePlus is also expected to enter the foldable market next month (September) with the launch of the OnePlus Open. On Sept. 1, Honor will announce the Honor Magic V2 and another foldable phone in the global market. It seems that Xiaomi may enter the global foldable phone market in 2024.

Meanwhile, the Mix Fold 3 is already available for purchase in China. People who are outside of China can visit Giztop, our online store, and pre-order it for $1,599. The device is listed in three shades, such as black, black fibre, and gold. At present, Giztop is offering the device in three configurations: 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage, and 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage. Giztop will start shipping the device on Aug. 26.
