I've not met anyone with a 2+ year old phone with a hinge problem, but 90% of them all had screen problems. Samsung fold phones are the worst. From real world experience, the screens will give up way earlier than any hinge or other component failure.

Let's be realistic... Everyone is commenting on the hinge durability.. how many time you can fold it.... Etc...
But did you ask yourself if you are going to unfold the phone like 10x a day? Even at 10x a day 1 year you are going to fold it 3650x...
I been using Mix fold 2 for a year odd... No issue at all except some software compatibility issue since the phone only release in china.

A new unit in isolated environment may endure several hundred thousands folds. What these companies miss is real life environmental factors. After 6 months of use, taking 1-2 light drops that might slightly disbalance hinge. Extremely cold temperatures or heat from charging and gaming etc all impact the hinge.
the most important spec of a foldable is not cameras, crease or performance. it is hinge durability. how many folds in actual life can it withstand? we saw motorola advertised 400K and failed after 45k folds last year. I really don't believe the manufacturer numbers. it is a nightmare if, you pay $1500-1700 to a phone and you see dead pixels after the warranty expires.
Anonymous, 20 Jul 2024The brand "xiaomi" itself is enough to be a deal breaker. (Ex xiaomi user here)Agreed!

Anonymous, 20 Jul 2024That phone retails $150 more than this one, mix fold doesn't have a pro editionNo, you are wrong. The Vivo x fold 3 pro's official price for 12gb 256gb is 8,999rmb. The mix fold 4 official price is the exact same, 8,999rmb for 12gb 256gb

Anonymous, 20 Jul 2024The brand "xiaomi" itself is enough to be a deal breaker. (Ex xiaomi user here)Yes yes, we know, you had a cheap Redmi phone and you expected flagship level performance from it.

so it's 12.5MP 4x zoom
still an upgrade
Specs sound good, 5x opt zoom would be nice upgrade from my magic v2. Wonder how well it deals with heat dissapaition
Foldables seems to be losing a third of their value per year. That's insane if you compare them to regular flagship phones which are losing half that.
DeepIn2U, 20 Jul 2024Don't really care for the cameras or sensors much. Without a quality lens it means white... moreThe lack of camera upgrades from the Xiaomi mix fold 3 is disappointing though. Basically you get a 50mp 2x instead of a 10mp 3.2x and the rest of the rear cameras are almost the same. Different main camera but the specs are almost the same. No real upgrades which is disappointing
DiggaNick, 19 Jul 2024Still a good-looking garbage with buggy HyperOS. Hard pass! Try harder Xiaomi!The brand "xiaomi" itself is enough to be a deal breaker.

Likely the global version is not avail as the phone has a satellite feature 😔
