Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 image appears along with retail box

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will launch this year, and its image has just appeared, along with the phone’s retail box. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 will become the company’s third-gen book-style foldable.

Do note that the first and second-gen products were exclusive to China. We’re hoping things will change this time around, as Samsung does need more competition in global markets. If that does end up happening, Xiaomi will still launch the phone in China first, though.

In any case, if you check out the two images shown below the article, you’ll see the phone itself and its box. Unfortunately, though, we only get to see the phone’s front side when folded. This seems to be a screenshot from the phone’s ‘About device’ section.

What we can see here is that the device will have a centered display camera hole on its cover display. You can also see its physical buttons, and its slightly curved glass that sits on the display.

The second image shows the phone’s retail packaging. It’s exactly what you’d expect, actually. The box is larger than the Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s, but the design element is the same. You’ll notice Xiaomi’s branding, the phone’s name here, and of course Leica’s logo too. The box itself has a dark gray color.

It will likely launch at some point this month

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 arrived on August 11 last year. That means that the MIX Fold 3 launch is likely not far off at this point. We don’t have a lot of information about the device just yet, but we do know what to expect.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 was quite thin and compact for a book-style foldable. For a while, it was the thinnest book-style foldable out there. It’ll be interesting to see whether Xiaomi will be able to trump the HONOR Magic V2 in that regard.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC will fuel this smartphone, while we’re expecting LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage to be included. Both of its displays will offer a 120Hz refresh rate, while we’ll also get truly fast charging here.
