Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Will Not Be Released In India Or Other Countries

Xiaomi has shared bad news about its new foldable device Mix Fold 3. The company launched the product in China this week, and many of you have been waiting to hear about the Mix Fold 3’s global launch plans. But now Xiaomi has confirmed that its latest foldable device will once again be a China exclusive.

The brand usually keeps these details close to its chest, but this time it has clearly mentioned that the Mix Fold 3 will not launch globally, which likely includes other markets like India. Mix Fold 3 is Xiaomi’s third-generation foldable product, none of which has made it outside the Chinese market.

Many expected Xiaomi to change this aspect by launching the Mix Fold 3 in more countries, making it a serious competitor to Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 5, but the update coming this week will surely please the South Korean brand and give it more room to lead the foldable segment.

Xiaomi has been eyeing the premium range with its products, but until the brand launches these devices everywhere, its ambitions remain limited. Apart from the Mix Fold 3, Xiaomi has also avoided bringing its Xiaomi 13 Ultra Leica-powered phone to markets like India, where it launched the Xiaomi 13 Pro earlier this year.

Xiaomi has mainly served as a budget and mid-range option for buyers, and its rise to the premium table has been slower than one might expect. But if you want to compete with the big boys, you have to challenge them in every market and not just stay in your home market.

With the Mix Fold 3, you get a rugged design with a hinge that’s claimed to last over 500,000 folds, a fast-charging battery not available with other foldable devices, and yes, a design that’s sleek and lightweight. When you read the features of the Mix Fold 3, this device is impressive, and thanks to the Leica-engineered cameras and design, it easily shows how Samsung is aging with its foldable lineup.
