Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold (16GB + 512GB)

  • Innovative and impressive design, with solid build quality and a sturdy hinge.
  • Large, near-tablet sized inner display that provides good content consumption and multitasking opportunities.
  • Good camera quality with a high-resolution 108MP main sensor and an innovative "liquid lens" telephoto/macro camera.
  • Large 5,020 mAh battery capacity, offering reliable battery life.
  • Fast 67W wired charging capability, with the charger included in the box.
  • More affordable price point compared to some competing foldables at the time of its release.
  • Good quality speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold (16GB + 512GB)

  • Exclusively available in China, leading to significant software issues, including Chinese bloatware, missing Google services out of the box (though they can be sideloaded with some effort), and delayed notifications for global users.
  • The cover screen is considered too narrow by many users, making typing and general use less comfortable.
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
  • Lack of an internal selfie camera on the main display, limiting video calls in tablet mode.
  • Software experience is generally unoptimized for the large screen, with apps cutting off and a lack of polish compared to competitors like Samsung.
  • Underwhelming video recording quality and stabilization.
  • The camera performance, despite the innovative hardware, is sometimes seen as underwhelming for a flagship device, especially in low light.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold (16GB + 512GB) is a pioneering first-generation foldable smartphone featuring an expansive 8.01-inch internal AMOLED display and a secondary 6.52-inch external AMOLED cover screen, driven by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. A major pro is its advanced camera system, co-developed with Surge C1 image signal processor and featuring the world's first Liquid Lens technology for both telephoto and macro shots. It also boasts impressive Harmon Kardon tuned quad speakers and a substantial 5,020mAh battery with 67W fast charging. Primary cons at launch included the lack of a high refresh rate on the crucial inner display (which was standard 60Hz), the absence of IP water resistance certification, and the phone's limited availability outside of China.
