This morning, Xiaomi announced that it will release the MIX Fold 3 foldable phone in August 2023. The phone will feature the photography algorithm developed by Xiaomi in collaboration with Leica.
In the official announcement, Xiaomi officially said, “With the joint efforts of Xiaomi and Leica, we have successfully created the latest solution of Leica Optics full-focus quad camera in the thin and sturdy body structure of the MIX Fold 3.” The phone will be released in August.
In short, both parties have collaborated to design the quad-camera setup for the phone. Compared to the Mix Fold 2, the body structure will be thinner and lighter.
In addition, the quad camera system in the MIX Fold 3 has achieved several breakthroughs, including miniaturized OIS motors, ultra-thin lenses, miniaturized periscope telephoto modules, and stacked designs, all successfully integrated into the Leica Optics quad camera system.
It was also revealed that the back of the MIX Fold 3 may have white curved glass. The device will come with a quad-camera module, including a 3.2x portrait lens and a 5x periscope telephoto lens.
The phone is also rumored to support 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. The chipset could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
In the coming days, Xiaomi is expected to reveal more highlights about the MIX Fold 3.
