Xiaomi will soon rejoin the bandwagon of foldable smartphones, as other major tech companies are also there waiting: Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, and more. Hopefully, Apple will also land on that list in the near future as well, but only time will tell for sure.
Xiaomi Mix Fold3 represents Xiaomi’s idea of a foldable phone that’s set to launch in the near future. Our guess is that the Chinese manufacturer won’t abandon its traditional recipe of affordable and powerful devices anytime soon, which can mean one thing: the same recipe will most likely be applied to the forthcoming Xiaomi Mix Fold3 as well.
Xiaomi Mix Fold3 will likely sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset
Xiaomi Mix Fold3 will arrive at some point in August. This upcoming device is rumored to feature impressive specifications, and GSMArena has spotted some interesting information via Weibo. The rumors indicate that the Mix Fold3 will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a periscope camera. What’s more, it may also come equipped with a waterproof body, boasting a proper IP rating for added durability.
Leaks from a reliable source also indicate that the Mix Fold3 is expected to include an under-display camera on its main folding screen, which addresses a feature missing from previous generations. Additional leaked details suggest a 5x periscope lens and 50W wireless charging capability.
Last, but not least, it needs to be said that there are also rumors of Xiaomi working on an Explorer edition concept folding phone, which might be unveiled alongside the Mix Fold3. Although specific information about the concept phone remains up in the air at the moment, Xiaomi fans can anticipate the launch of the Mix Fold3 this summer. The new addition to the Mix Fold series promises to offer innovative features and enhanced performance, further cementing the idea that ‘foldables’ can represent powerful smartphones.
