Unlocked for any compatible carrier. 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage Model comes with original box and paperwork and OEM Xiaomi 67W and high amperage cable, and OEM Case with Kickstand. Color is Black, but not the standard black, it is a Black Fiber edition, which is a special material, a hybrid of ceramic and aramid fiber, very strong and much more  durable than glass.

Besides the included OEM Leather Case with Kickstand with kickstand, I'll include a couple of extra cases shown in the pictures, one is clea/transparent and the other one is also leather-like material but it also has a ring for magsafe.

Great condition overall, barely a couple of months old it’s been used mostly indoors and almost never outdoors. I don’t see any relevant (visible to the naked eye) scratches or obvious signs of use but I’ll try to include many detailed pictures, especially with the inner/larger screen, I was always careful to touch it only with my fingertips only (not with my fingernails).

The phone doesn’t have IP Rating but seems to be indeed water resistance, you can watch some terdown videos and has a lot of seals and it also passes the water resistance test in the water resistance app that uses barometer to test, older foldables I’ve had didn’t pass this test.

Please check my other listing if you need a super fast Xiaomi OEM wireless charger, I have a couple for sale.

Now to the good part:

This device is just astonishing, when I first got it about 4 months ago it was mind-blowing. I came from a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, which I upgraded because I felt it was too heavy, too thick and the cover screen was too narrow almost unusable for most productive tasks. I received the Mi Mix Fold 3 and WOW what a difference! It immediately made my Galaxy Fold feel like chunky old tech. The Mix Fold 3 much slimmer, noticeable lighter and the cover screen has a 21:9 aspect ratio so when closed, it feels almost like a regular candy bar smartphone, just what I was looking for! I no longer had to sacrifice the "regular smartphone screen" in order to have the "larger 8-in mini tablet screen", all while also having a larger battery and much better battery life!

Phone will be factory reset before shipping but "Google Services" can be easily turned on in settings under "Accounts & Sync". Google services DO work on this phone and Google Play Store can in installed from the pre-loaded Xiaomi app store (which comes pre-installed, it's an orange icon and called "GetApps") in just a couple of minutes, then all google apps can be installed, google maps, google messages, YouTube, google translate, google keep, google calendar, etc, etc. They all work great and no weird workarounds are needed (unlike with Huawei phones for example).

I've used this with T-Mobile and worked well but I know it doesn't work with Verizon, some online reports say it works well with At&T. 

 

Please do your research/DD and ask me as many questions as you have before bidding as all hardware works perfect and I will NOT accept returns for buyers remorse, if for any reason you want to switch to a different phone in the near future, you'll have to re-sell it. 

 

The software (Android skin MIUI 14) has its pros and cons, it doesn't offer ALL features available on Samsung phones' OneUI (for example no DeX or GoodLock modules) but many others are still there just with a different name, for example "second space" instead of "secure folder". It also has other things that Samsung doesn't have such as native real call recording from the stock phone app, IR blaster to control TVs, Mini split AC units, and other appliances, it's got capability for dual physical SIM and many customization options in settings, some of which are absent in Samsung OneUI. The Xiaomi UI is also noticeable smoother, especially when performing navigation gestures, as well as biometrics are practically instantaneous, as soon as you touch the fingerprint sensor is already unlocked and raise to wake + face unlock also work flawlessly, those two aspects are on par with the iPhone. My older Samsung on the other hand wasn't slow by any means on processing speed but had animations that occasionally had a bit of delay and dropped frames, seeming stuttery. Also Face Unlock was hit or miss on the Samsung, not very reliable. 

Overall if you're coming from another Android such as Samsung, Motorola, Pixel, etc. There will be a learning curve but not as big as if you were coming from iPhone, very doable nonetheless if you're adaptable. 

Warnings/known issues: Android Auto doesn't work with this phone & newer Galaxy Watches with WearOS cannot be paired for notifications, etc. (although I was still able to pair my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to use with WearMouse app to use the watch as a remote mouse/keyboard for the Xiaomi).

I will ship via USPS WITH Insurance and signature required for the safety of both of us.

If you're considering this phone, I highly recommend you watch this video review to give you a better idea of this device:

You don’t need to keep reading below as it’s not part of the actual item description but they’re just some general tips that I wanted to add that may help you if you’re new to HyperOS from Xiaomi:

 

 

First, some users new to Xiaomi complain about some apps being closed in the background or notifications being delayed. I haven't had that issue but you have to adjust the setting individually for apps you care about:

1. First activate developer options in settings > my device > detailed info and specs > then tap "MIUI Version" rapidly about 5 times. Then developer options will appear in settings > additional settings > developer options.

2. Turn off MIUI optimization in developer options (this is very important).

3. Turn OFF "Don't keep activities" option in the developer options.

4. MIUI Security App > Boost Speed >Settings (top right) > Lock the App you need to keep alive

5. Long press on app icon from the Home Screen, then tap "App Info". Allow "AutoStart" when available & choose "Unrestricted" under "battery and performance" menu.

I highly recommend using Swiftkey keyboard or Gboard from the Play Store, once you configure it stays on but the keyboard may revert to a Chinese one if you restart the phone, hence I also really recommend you leave the SwiftKey app icon in an accessible place in the home screen so whenever you actually restart the phone (or turned off because ran out of battery), you can simply tap the SwiftKey app icon and re-activate your favorite keyboard with just a couple of taps in 5 seconds. I don't restart my phone very often but still useful to leave the keyboard icon in the home screen.

Another bonus tip: Install the app Edison Mail from the play store! Best app ever for multiple mail accounts and notifications work great. After searching for years after trying Outlook, Gmail, Samsung stock email, and many others from the play store, Edison Mail is by faaar the best, free for non plus version which has all the basics and more and no ads.

2nd bonus tip: If you want to cast to a 16:9 TV, you can download an app called Purr - Rootless Resolution Changer from the Play Store to change the screen to 1080x1920 (works better with the cover screen), then whenever you cast and play a video for example, it will show full screen in the TV instead of showing a smaller video with black bars on the sides and/or top & bottom.

Again please let me know any questions you may have and thanks for looking!
