The foldable phone scene has been surprisingly quiet from Xiaomi recently. After last-minute decisions to not release the MIX Flip 2 globally and to hold off on the MIX Fold 5 in China, many of us were left wondering what Xiaomi had planned for the future of its foldable lineup. But the silence has just been broken with a stunning new leak: details have emerged about the upcoming Xiaomi MIX Flip 3, and it seems Xiaomi is preparing to make a powerful comeback with a major camera innovation. This news is incredibly exciting and shows that even while they were quiet, Xiaomi was still working on pushing the boundaries of technology.

A New Era for Foldable Photography

According to the leak, the Xiaomi MIX Flip 3 will feature a dual-camera system on the back and a single camera on the front, with a truly impressive set of sensors. This device is rumored to be a China-exclusive release, but the technology within it is a peek into the future of Xiaomi’s global foldable plans. The most striking detail is the main camera, which is rumored to be a groundbreaking 200MP sensor! This would make the MIX Flip 3 one of the first foldables to feature such a high-resolution camera, a bold move that aligns with Xiaomi’s history of leading camera technology.

The full camera breakdown from the leak includes:

• Main Camera: 200MP (S5KHP5)
• Ultra-Wide Camera: 50MP (S5KJN5)
• Front Camera: 32MP (S5KKDS)

This combination of a massive 200MP main sensor and a powerful 50MP ultra-wide lens suggests that Xiaomi is prioritizing top-tier photography, even on a compact foldable device. The device is also expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, ensuring that the performance matches the impressive camera specs. It looks like Xiaomi is focusing all its foldable energy on the MIX Flip 3 for now, as it seems the MIX Fold 5 or 6 may not be coming out this year.
