After months of ongoing rumors and leaks, Xiaomi is finally preparing to unveil its new flagship foldable device, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3, today. The device will be introduced at the annual event starting at 19:00 (GMT+8) in Beijing, China.
Just hours before the launch, the ceramic fiber-coated rear cover of the device has been revealed.
The well-known leaker on Twitter, Ice Universe, didn’t stop even on the day of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3’s unveiling. In fact, just hours before the device’s introduction, Ice Universe shared an image that looks like a leak.
It’s not certain whether the image is an actual leak. However, due to its appearance resembling a promotional poster, it’s not too difficult to guess that it’s an image that will be released after the launch. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the image.
According to Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun, the company aims to offer a versatile flagship without shortcomings, and the marketing poster describes the Mix Fold 3 as a “new standard for foldable screens.”
The poster shared by Ice Universe for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 reveals that the device’s rear cover is made from ceramic fiber coating. As understood from the poster, Xiaomi labels this as a “special material.” According to what is mentioned on the poster, this material provides exceptional durability without increasing the device’s weight.
Ceramic fiber material can also be extremely thin and tough. A strip of this material, with the thickness of a human hair, can withstand forces up to 1.15 kg without breaking. Its resistance to impacts is about 56 times higher than glass panels.
The innovative rear cover design of the Mix Fold 3 is indeed intriguing. It’s not yet known whether this design will be present in the standard version. This special edition of the Mix Fold 3 will likely be lighter and more durable than the standard version, but it will probably come with a higher price tag as well.
