Xiaomi Mix Fold3 Bare Condition After One Year of Usage: Detailed Review

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].
