EDITORIAL: Xiaomi's third fold phone is great performer and best fold phone in terms of endurance, showing the big(er) dogs what's possible. It's cameras produce excellent pics and the multitasking on the inner screen is great (but not class leading). Mix Fold 3 falls short on (confusing name,) screen brightness and sharpness, and very short on IP protection and availability.
PROs
fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with UFS 4.0 performance, long 36hr endurance from a 4800mAh lithium battery with sub-50min 66W (50W wireless) charging, excellent pics from 50MP 23mm main + 10MP 75 telephoto + 10MP 115 periscope telephoto (all 3 OIS PDAF) + 12MP 15mm ultrawide, two 20MP 23mm selfies (but you can take selfies with the main camera), stable and very functional OS
CONs
>1200nits >400ppi LTPO OLED+ screen with Dolby Vision (outer is >1200nits AMOLED), no IP protection to speak of, no AF on ultrawide or on selfies, average video recording, no expandable memory, short OS update policy, no desktop replacement functionality despite good multi window on inner screen, China only
