Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 makes headlines this time with camera leaks
The MIX Fold 3 model, developed by the Chinese technology company Xiaomi, has hit the news due to leaks related to its camera features.
Xiaomi has made headlines with the announcement of its foldable phone, the MIX Fold 3, due for an August release. It's a significant development as the device is Xiaomi's first foldable phone to include a Leica optical full-range quad camera, an innovation that marks a leap in mobile imaging. This collaboration is designed to deliver superior imaging performance in a slim, lightweight form factor.
The specifications of the camera are yet to be revealed. Still, rumors suggest a quad-camera setup, featuring a primary Sony IMX800 sensor, an ultra-wide lens, a telephoto snapper with 3.2x optical zoom, and a periscope telephoto lens with 5x zoom. This camera setup puts Xiaomi alongside Vivo and Huawei, who already have four rear cameras on their foldable devices.
Stylistically, the MIX Fold 3 impresses with a white curved glass body. It boasts an 8.02-inch foldable AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz main display and a 6.56-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz cover screen. There are whispers of an under-display camera on the internal display, enhancing the phone's allure. Further design considerations include a waterdrop hinge for a slim profile and increased durability.
