One year after the launch of the world’s slimmest foldable smartphone, the Mix Fold 2, Xiaomi launches the Mix Fold 3.
Starting with the dimensions of the device, the Mix Fold 3 is even sleeker than its predecessor, measuring just 5.26mm when unfolded and 10.89mm when folded.

In addition, Xiaomi has innovated a completely new patented hinge, consisting of 198 components, which takes up 17% less internal space. This upgraded hinge features a 3-element construction along with 14 micro-hinges that securely enclose the main folding screen, contributing to increased durability.
In addition, a rotating mechanism made of ceramic carbon steel has been integrated into the hinge. A notable feature of this new hinge design is support for a floating opening angle of 45° to 135°, allowing users to position the phone like a mini laptop.
