Unveiled in August 2023, I picked up the 16+512 Moon Shadow Black variant for a cool 11,498. Right off the bat, I set it as my primary device, sans any screen protector or case—yes, I let it endure bumps and scratches with reckless abandon. Talk about living on the edge [石化R].
The inner display, thanks to the factory-applied protective film, remains largely unscathed, though there are faint traces left by rogue sand particles.
Still, the screen itself is in pristine condition. The fold crease? Practically unchanged from day one, and if anything, it seems even less pronounced compared to the Mix Fold 4 I saw in stores. The hinge has seen some wear, but nothing severe enough to compromise the screen’s integrity.
The camera housing, crafted from ceramic, gleams like new, yet the surrounding protection ring bears unmistakable signs of abrasion.
The lower edge, too, has worn down enough to expose the gleaming metal beneath.
As for the outer screen, well, it’s earned its battle scars—deep grooves and scratches mar each corner and both side edges. To add insult to injury, the rubber strip on the right has bid adieu due to one too many collisions.
Every single corner of the frame has taken a beating, though mercifully, the damage is limited to minor paint loss and dents. Neither the outer screen’s glass cover nor the inner screen’s support structure have been compromised. (For the record, this phone has made several unplanned descents from my desk onto hard tile floors.
)
All things considered, the Mix Fold3 boasts exceptional build quality, and I’m confident it’ll keep pace with my lifestyle for at least another year [赞R].

I’m surprised you went completely unprotected for a year—it really shows in the condition of the device! The outer screen took quite a beating, but it’s good to hear the inner one is still holding up well. Do you think having a case and screen protector would’ve made a noticeable difference? It’s interesting how much the lack of protection impacted the overall feel.
I’m surprised you went completely unprotected for a year! The inner screen looks better than I expected, but those sand scratches sound annoying. Did you ever consider a clear case for the outer display? It seems like it would get more abuse.
Thanks for your comment! You’re right, going completely unprotected was risky, but I wanted to see how durable the Fold3 really is. I did consider a clear case for the outer screen, but I enjoy the pure feel of the glass without it. Those sand scratches are noticeable, but they haven’t affected performance—just aesthetics!
I’m surprised you went completely unprotected for a year, but it’s interesting that only the inner screen has minor issues. Do you think the durability lives up to its price tag? It seems like a love-it-or-hate-it situation depending on how careful users are.
Thank you for your insightful comment! I agree that the durability feels like a mixed bag—it really depends on how you use it. While the outer screen held up well, the inner one did show some wear, which is something to consider given the price. Ultimately, I think it’s worth it if you can be mindful of its limitations!
