Such a shame they're not releasing this in the global market. Samsung could continue to not innovate their foldable and it'll sell like hot cakes if there's no actual competitor. Sad 😔

To the uk users: this phone does not have band 20 800mhz 4g support! All uk providers use this band (and one other ) for 4g. If you are not in a area with good 5g then this might be a issue…. I been told Honor fold 2 has this band 20 support… this is the phone I will be getting.

I imported the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 and at first I thought I might've made a mistake, but the problems I have experienced are primarily because I'm not familiar with Chinese MIUI. Been searching around and have got it 95% configured and it's great! However, I have only once been able to get the shutter button to appear on the front screen making it extremely hard to use the rear cameras for a selfie, but I saw you did in your video. Is there a specific feature switch that needs to be turned on to enable this? Update; I have since figured out how to get the button on the front screen. That's no longer an issue.

Hello! For anyone using the mix fold 3, I had some questions 😅
1) Can you use the big screen with 4 fingers (for 4-player games for example)
2) Can you have a diaporama lockscreen wallpaper that changes each time you turn on the screen?
3) Can you connect two Bluetooth audio devices at the same time (can you control each device's volume?)
4) Wireless reverse charging?
5) Can you select per-screen refresh rate? (Ex. Small screen 60Hz and big screen 120Hz)
6) Can you separate an app's sound to Bluetooth device? (Ex. Spotify on Bluetooth speaker and other apps on phone's speaker)
7) Any notification delay issues (even when disabling app battery optimization?)
Thank you very much! :)

Having a 11T Pro already I'm familar with MIUI and Xiaomi services. Xiaomi isn't afraid to innovate while delivering quality products. My 11TP has been a beast of a phone and I've had it for nearly 2 yrs now. I wish they would bring more of their phones to the global market especially the Mix 3 as I've been interested in a Fold phone.

Thanks for the review. To my knowledge it will we sold like other brands here in the Nordics - perhaps even further in the EU.

Great looking phone! Powerful and super fast charging. Lighter and bigger screen while still being thinner than Galaxy Folds. Super impressed

[ThatBloxFruitKid]

i feel like you should also add a video without stabilizing so we can see how well it works

[iantominski]

Can you use developer mode to turn on LDAC on this phone?

MAJOR PSA if you have GPS reception issues with your Mix Fold 3 - REMOVE the official case included in the box (more specifically the back side with the kickstand) or at least open the kickstand. I have a *gold* Mix Fold 3 and I was at my wits end with zero GPS reception, until I found this. GPS signal reception skyrocketed (going from zero to 50+ satellites) the instant I removed the back case.

MI MIX FOLD 3 ❤🎉 Symmetrical curved screen when folded. Larger, Slimmer!!

[WayTooOldForWoke]

Why dont they ever sell in the uk. Im basically forced to buy samsung and after screen issues i wouldnt buy the pixel. Give the global market a chance i know i would love to buy an alternative to samsung. Theyre going to stay at the top of the foldable market if these other great phones arent available to everyone, everywhere.

Oh Boi! 😮

[docsaq]

I don't understand what the companies are thinking when they put forward a wanabe tab alternative with no stylus support... also why Samsung can't fix aspect ratio of outer screen which is ridiculous!

I had a mi9 for 4 years I had it on release date. MIUI the software for xiaomi phones are my favorites operating system of any Android phone especially if you have the official global one or the MIUI EU modification. After owning the mi9 for 4 years I finally moved on to a new phone which is the Google pixel phone for the single reason of the perfect screen size. No other foldable phone has the perfect screen size and I'm looking for nice and stubby when it's folded so that you can use it perfectly and reach every inch of your screen with one hand I want it's open it's a decent size as well. this is the main reason I stayed away from the xiaomi fold because they still incorporate that extra tall screen size that I never like in any phone.

[ghkzbor]

Looks promising but i can't see myself ever getting a folding phone

[akshaypatil]

Any possibility of launching in India ?

Well I know what I will be watching tomorrow with my morning coffee.
