The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 is coming this year, and a rumor claims that it will offer an under-display camera, along with a number of other improvements. This information comes from Digital Chat Station, a well-known Chinese tipster.
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 could offer an under-display camera, and much more
Now, the tipster claims that the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, as expected. On top of that, an under-display camera is tipped to be included on its main display. Xiaomi is seemingly trying to ditch the hole punch on the main display. The cover display will still have one, though, it seems.
The tipster also mentions that 50W wireless charging will be included here. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 does not offer wireless charging at all, so this would be a huge improvement. Let’s just hope that the phone won’t be much thicker because of it. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is one of the thinnest foldables out there.
Xiaomi is also planning to include a proper IP rating here, so the phone should be water resistant. On top of all that, a periscope camera is also tipped to be included on the phone. If previous rumors are accurate, we’re looking at a 5x optical zoom capability here.
The company is also working on an ‘Explorer Edition’ concept foldable smartphone
On top of everything, it is said that Xiaomi is working on an ‘Explorer Edition’ concept folding phone, which will be shown off alongside the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3.
Many of you are probably wondering when will that happen. Well, if we had to guess, we’d say in August. Why? Well, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 launched in mid-August, so we’re guessing that Xiaomi will stick to its release cycle.
The Xiaomi MIX Fold and MIX Fold 2 are both exclusive to China. Xiaomi did not show off a global variant of either phone, but we’re hoping that will change with the third-gen product. It would be really nice to see more competition in the foldable smartphone segment outside of China.
