Xiaomi released a new folding machine Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 in China a few days ago. Although it will not be launched in Taiwan, we still borrowed this new folding machine to see Xiaomi’s technological capabilities.
When folded, it feels like a normal mobile phone
The book-folding models that I have taken this year include OPPO Find N2, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 that I will introduce this time. Taking these three mobile phones as an example, before the MIX Fold 3 is unfolded, That is to say, in the folded state, the grip feels most like a normal smartphone.
The folded thickness of MIX Fold 3 is regarding 1.1 cm, which is even thinner than the 1.34 cm of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. With the curved screen design, the thickness of the ultra-narrow metal frame on both sides is thinner, and it feels really good to hold It is very good, but the weight is still 259 grams, so there is still a certain sense of weight.
The front screen (external screen) uses a 6.56-inch 21:9 AMOLED screen, providing a maximum screen refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate. The supported color rendering technology is also supported, such as Xiaomi’s own sun screen, AI master image quality engine , eye protection technology, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, etc., the brightness can reach up to 2,600nits, and it also has a high contrast ratio of 8,000,000:1. The black part is black enough, and the color levels are vivid enough. The visual effect is similar to that of a flagship smartphone Just as good.
▲ The cover screen uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass.
▲ The thickness when folded is considered ultra-thin among folding machines, and the design of the hairline metal frame is very textured, but it is a little scratchy.
▲ The one we shot is black with a bit of leather texture, and there is also a “dragon scale fiber” version, which is a composite material made of ceramic fiber and aramid fiber.
The inner page screen adopts an 8.03-inch 2K+ Pol-less Plus super large screen, which also supports 120Hz screen refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, and the overall specifications are similar to those of the outer screen. The folding marks of Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 are not too obvious, and the crease in the middle is fairly flat when unfolded, but the crease can still be seen when there is oblique light.
Using a large screen, Mi MIX Fold 3 supports functions such as app suspension, double-opening or multi-opening of apps, allowing users to multitask and do more things at the same time.
Keel shaft design, solid and stable rotation
At the press conference, Lei Jun introduced that Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 uses a “keel hinge”. The name is super domineering.
According to the official statement, the keel shaft has 198 shaft parts and 14 movable joints, which can give the screen a strong support force, and the performance of impact resistance when falling is also improved. When the screen is unfolded, it will have a relatively stable feel without left or right The screen seems to be able to be opened with a little force, or the screen will dangle when hovering. The hinge has passed the 500,000-fold worry-free certification of the German Rheinland Laboratory.
It also folds almost seamlessly like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
The hovering angle provides free hovering between 45 degrees and 135 degrees. When hovering, half of the screen can be used as a toolbar. For example, when playing a video, half of the screen can display video content, and half of the screen can be used as a toolbar, or when displaying PPT , one half can display the current picture, and the other half can show the next slide.
Four-lens Leica camera
Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is the first folding machine with four lenses, and it also has two telephoto lenses. Let’s sort out the specifications of the four lenses for reference:
Ultra wide-angle lens: 12 million pixels, f/2.2 aperture, 15mm equivalent focal length Wide-angle main lens: 50 million pixels, f/1.77 aperture, 24mm equivalent focal length, Sony IMX800 sensor, SMA OIS anti-shake 3x Telephoto lens: 1000 Megapixels, f/2.0 aperture, 75mm equivalent focal length, OIS optical anti-shake 5x telephoto lens: 10 million pixels, f/2.92 aperture, equivalent focal length 115mm, OIS optical anti-shake, macro
The camera adjustment is the same as the Mi 13 series in cooperation with Leica, so Leica’s style tone can also be applied.
The author thinks that the shooting feeling is quite similar to that of Xiaomi 13 Pro, the focusing speed is fast enough, the folding and hovering function is added, and the framing is more flexible.
▲ Applying the characteristics of the folding machine, you can also take selfies through the high-resolution main lens.

Performance Testing
Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is positioned as a flagship processor, naturally adopts a 4nm process Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, paired with 12GB LPDDR5X memory and 256GB, 512GB, 1TB UFS4.0 storage space, the version we tested is 12GB+256GB version, passed the AnTuTu running score test with a score of 1.56 million, and the performance is at the level of this year’s flagship machine.
The battery is 4,800mAh and supports 67W Xiaomi wired fast charging. However, due to the limited test time this time, we have no special battery life performance. According to the official statement, it can provide a long battery life of 1.34 days. We actually use it continuously and intensively. After one hour, the power only drops 6-7%, and the endurance performance is indeed quite good.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 starts at 8,999 yuan in China, and will not launch an international version, nor will it be listed in Taiwan.
