As I said before, this week is the week of devices with foldable screens. Yesterday Samsung launched their Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 devices, yesterday Motorola with the Razr 2022 and tonight Xiaomi presents a new generation for the Xiaomi MIX Fold.
This device is the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 which comes with an 8.02-inch LTPO 2.0, OLED Eco2 with 2.5K resolution and a high refresh rate of 120Hz. This inner screen also uses a UTG ultra-thin glass panel and has a camera under the screen like the Galaxy Fold4.
For the external screen, Xiaomi uses a 6.56-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED panel with a FHD+ resolution of 2520 × 1080p. It also supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz. The screen on the outside is an OLED panel, allowing the use of thin bezels and the use of a normal device with a 21:9 screen.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processing chip paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Xiaomi also promises that this device will not have heating problems when running heavy applications.
For the camera it uses a tri-camera configuration that combines a 50MP f/.8 Sony IMX766 sensor, OIS + 13MP f/2.4 ultra wide angle + 2x telephoto f/2.6 sensor. The camera is also tuned by Leica for filter support, watermarks and Leica Classic and Leica Vivid profiles. For videos, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 also supports Dolby Vision recording. The selfie camera is 20MP placed on the hole punched screen on the outside and there is no selfie camera on the inner screen.
The device comes with a 4500mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging. Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 also uses a thin design which is 5.4mm when open and 11.2mm when closed. It is also one of the lightest for a device of this format. Talking about the body of the device, the hinge used is a water drop type like on the Oppo Find N. This means, the screen of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 will not have such a noticeable folding effect.
For audio, Xiaomi maintains stereo speakers with their Harmon/Kardon collaboration. The device runs MIUI Fold 13 which is the new MIUI operating system built specifically for devices with foldable screens. It is built on top of Android 12 and supports many third-party apps for multi-tasking and more.
The selling price of Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is
RMB 8999 (~RM5936) – for 12/256 GB
RMB 9999 (~RM6596) – for 12/512 GB
