87.3% 小米 Mix Fold 3 评测:有外观缺陷的可折叠高端智能手机 | Notebookcheck
小米 Mix Fold 3 搭载了骁龙 8 代 2、最高 16GB 内存和 6 倍摄像头,显然属于高端智能手机级别,但价格还是相对较高。官方称,这款 8.03 英寸 AMOLED 可折叠手机是为中国市场预留的,这也影响了手机的覆盖范围。我们的评测阐明了进口购买是否值得。
Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Audio test
Source: DxOMark English EN→zh-CN
With an overall score of 130, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 delivered a good performance in the DXOMARK Audio tests and showed very noticeable improvements over its predecessor, the Mix Fold 2. The Mix Fold 3 especially shone as a recording device, thanks to a very pleasant timbre and very effective wind noise reduction. Only when recording loud events, such as concerts, did the Xiaomi show some weaknesses. Overall recording results were best with the main camera, but the front camera and memo app were almost on the same level. Playback was not quite on the same high level as the recording results but still decent. Playback quality was very good at high volumes, with very good bass and treble rendition as well as dynamics, but unfortunately the quality dropped at nominal and soft volume levels.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Display test
Source: DxOMark English EN→zh-CN
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 (main screen) is a decent device for display overall. Although its maximum brightness is limited, it has an anti-reflective film that helps achieve better readability even in very bright-light environments. The anti-reflective film also helps to minimize the visual impact of the screen’s crease. However, the Mix Fold 3’s video performance trails that of other devices in the same category, as it does not manage brightness and contrast very well. Similarly, the device’s touch function had a somewhat low reaction time, and the display was unresponsive to long touches on the edges and corners of the screen. Finally, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3’s angular performance was particularly noted because color changes were inconspicuous when the device was held at less than 20°, making it a good device for viewing at an angle.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 smartphone brings some substantial improvements compared to the Mix Fold 2. It’s all in the internals that’s what makes the smartphone run. So, the new internals will surely improve your user experience. It provides tremendous value and there are no other foldable smartphones that can provide the same user experience as the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 does. If you want a great display, processor, camera, battery life, and most importantly, a solid user experience, then the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 can be a good choice. It also has 5G which will further enhance the internet connectivity and thereby the user experience but it is not without any cons. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 lacks dust or water resistance, which is not a good look for the flagship smartphone and there’s no 4k recording from the selfie camera as well. But if you want a foldable phone then Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 would be a better option for the foldable smartphone but you need to pay a little more for it. Anyways, the final decision is up to you, therefore choose wisely as per your requirements.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Review Philippines
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN
I loved the time that I spent with the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. It’s a great foldable with a lot of awesome features, but some things can be improved on. The lack of IP protection is a little baffling, as is the amount of bloatware that comes pre-installed on a phone that’s supposed to be a premium device. I’m sure that things are done differently in China, but the sheer number of unwanted, pre-installed apps in it is a little baffling. The biggest gripe I have is availability. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is ready for prime time, as it’s one of the best foldables I’ve handled recently. It’s a little baffling that Xiaomi is keeping it a China-exclusive device, especially since the converted pricing for the base model in China looks so damn aggressive.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Malaysia hands-on: A great foldable, if only…
Source: Soycincau English EN→zh-CN
For material choices, you get two—a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back in either Black or Gold, or a composite fibre variant Xiaomi calls “Dragon Scale Fiber”. This material is a blend of ceramic fibre and aramid fibre and is lighter than glass, which contributes to the lightweight nature of the phone. Unfortunately, the Mix Fold 3 does not come with an IP rating for water resistance, unlike the Z Fold 5’s IPX8 rating that means it can be submerged. So there you have it, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3. A worthy foldable phone to own, packed with features one would want. The biggest thing stopping us from recommending it outright is that the phone is only in sale in China for now, and there are no official plans to bring it to the Malaysian market. What a pity, as it is a great alternative to the competition here.

82% Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 review
Source: GSM Arena English EN→zh-CN
The Mix Fold 3 is another step in the right direction for the Xiaomi foldable lineup, if not quite as dramatic as the transition from the first to the second generation. That said, some things haven't been addressed yet, like the waterproofing, less than ideal thermals, lackluster video capabilities and software that's not as useful as it could be. The move from an autofocusing ultrawide to a fixed focus one also perplexes us. However, this third generation does bring meaningful upgrades. We're fans of longer reach and we very much appreciate the 5x telephoto, and it's nice that there's a 3.2x unit to bridge the gap too - there haven't been such zoom-focused foldables lately. Tying nicely with the enhanced imaging setup is the new hinge design that adds another layer of usefulness to the form factor.

Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 3 Hands On
Source: Yugatech English EN→zh-CN
To conclude this hands-on, at the moment the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 3 is not officially available in the Philippines at the time of this writing. Whether or not it will be coming, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 3 seems to be a promising contender in the foldable phablet space. It’s thin, light, and sturdy and we can’t wait to put it through its paces in a future review.

Without any questions, Xiaomi did a great job in making the Mix Fold 3 both a pinnacle of engineering with its thin and light build and a feature-packed foldable, especially with its rear camera setup. However, as much as we’re excited about it, not everyone will get to fully appreciate the Mix Fold 3–unless Xiaomi changes its mind and makes it available to more countries other than China.

LOOK: Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Camera Samples
Source: Unbox English EN→zh-CN
Overall, the Mix Fold 3 is an interesting device coming from Xiaomi: aside from the engineering done to make it slimmer and lighter than the competition, Xiaomi gave it a very versatile camera setup that can go head-to-head with some flagship phones. However, the real catch right now–aside from the ultra-wide camera having room for improvement–is that the Mix Fold 3 remains to be elusive to China, at least for now.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Review + Rant During Tropical Storm Hilary
Source: ben's gadget reviews English
So there is a tropical storm in Los Angeles for the first time in 80 years, and the state government is on high alert asking everyone to stay inside. I took the chance to step outside to film a Mix Fold 3 review in downtown LA. This video is mostly a review, but the last five minutes is a rant about behavior I've been seeing online. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 packs a quad camera system headlined by a 50MP IMX800 main sensor and two zoom lenses covering the 75mm and 120mm focal length. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 "Leading Version" which is the same chip used by the Galaxy Z Fold 5. There's a 4800 mAh battery with wireless charging.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 Review: That’s Finally Worth Buying?
Source: Igeekphone English EN→zh-CN
As Xiaomi’s third-generation folding flagship machine, Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 can be said to be absorbing the manufacturing experience of the previous two generations and seeking breakthroughs on this basis. Angle hovering, wireless charging, the introduction of three surging chips, and the deployment of the leading version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 mobile platform, it can be seen that Xiaomi is also paying more and more attention to user experience while achieving the ultimate stacking of hardware. The change in the shape of the folding hinge allows Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 to have a multi-angle hovering body for the first time, which is a giant leap forward for Xiaomi folding phones. In our experience, the hinge of MIbodyd 3 is very flexible.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 hands-on impressions: All that in a skin-tight suit
Source: Android Authority English EN→zh-CN
What’s also apparent to me is that compromises are not as explicit here. The camera system already feels more than competent. My only personal gripe would be the lack of IP rating — something that Xiaomi has not confirmed to us. Sure, the MIUI software build on this specific model is not great, but it’s designed for Chinese audiences, and a global MIUI ROM would undoubtedly iron out some admittedly minor complaints. As has been said about many China-only devices over the past few years, if no release is planned outside of the region, Samsung will remain steadfast at the top of the foldable sales charts for some time yet. Luckily, we could learn more about a global launch at IFA in just a few weeks. We’re eager to see how and where Xiaomi positions the Mix Fold 3, as it could be one of the phones to beat in 2023 and beyond.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Hands-On: Two New Zoom Lenses!
Source: ben's gadget reviews English
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is here. It's slightly thinner and lighter than the Mix Fold 2, and gets two new zoom lenses: a 3.2X telephoto and 5X Periscope, both with OIS and Leica lenses. The main camera also got an upgrade to the Sony IMX800 with a f/1.8 aperture. There's also a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip here that's the same overclocked version as seen in Samsung's 2023 flagships.

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板电脑来说十分小。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
