When Xiaomi introduced thet MIX Fold 2 in August 2022, the feature that really stood out to us was its main camera. The company clearly wanted it to be a camera-centric device, and the theme will likely continue. In fact, a new rumour suggests that the MIX Fold 3 could be the same.
Yesterday, Digital Chat Station provided some details about foldable devices that should arrive this year. In the post, the tipster mentioned a foldable with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 67W fast charging. For those unaware, the latter spec is commonly seen on Xiaomi devices, which suggests that this is one.
The alleged Xiaomi MIX Fold 3's features
It's believed that this is the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, which could come with a thinner body than its predecessor. It could also come with a "lightweight" periscope camera and and wireless charging. These specs suggest that the periscope sensor would be a small one to reduce weight, and back could be a glass cover to support wireless charging. The device is also expected to have water resistance, but the exact IP rating has not been finalised.
Another interesting bit we noticed is the mention of a foldable with an "allen folding" display. This could be a reference to a tri-fold device, which will have two sets of hinges instead of one. According to the source, this device will come with a 4800mAh battery, and supports 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. For your info, both Xiaomi and vivo have devices with 120W fast charging tech, so this foldable could be from either company.
Not very accurate Google Translate, but it could be referring to 'allen' instead of 'alan'
Of course, it's best to take the rumour with a grain of salt since nothing has been confirmed. Anyway, what are your thoughts on the rumour? Do you think the source was talking about a tri-fold foldable device? Drop us a comment on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave for more news about the latest foldable phones.
