In April 2021, Xiaomi announced the Mi Mix Fold, the company's first foldable phone. Over a year later, the Chinese business has finally unveiled the Mix Fold 2, the second iteration. The foldable has undergone a near-total revamp, elevating it to a higher level of quality with a sleek design, cutting-edge components, and potent Leica cameras. Here is everything you need to know about the Mix Fold 2, which was released in China but may not be available in other places.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: Release Date
On August 11, Xiaomi revealed the Mix Fold 2 in China, where orders can be placed right away. Of course, this is a Chinese launch, and given that the original Mix Fold was never successful overseas, it appears probable that the same will apply here. Even if it happens, it probably won't be for a few more weeks or months.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: Price
We only know the Chinese pricing for the Mix Fold 2 because it was only released in China, and it is definitely not cheap. Still, it costs $1,000 less than its predecessor and less than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4, which has similar specs.
- 256GB: ¥8,999 (around $1,335/£1,090/€1,290)
- 512GB: ¥9,999 (around $1,485/£1,215/€1,435)
- 1TB: ¥11,999 (around $1,780/£1,455/€1,720)
Remember that, as is often the case with converted prices, the prices in other countries are likely to be different from the approximate converted amounts above if the game is released internationally.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: Specs and features
When it comes to the Mix Fold 2's specifications, Xiaomi looks to have spared no money. The design, which has undergone a complete revision since the initial iteration, is the subject of the most debate. For starters, it isn't offered in the two colors of gold and black. The phone is so thin that it is scarcely thicker than the USB-C port when unfolded, measuring just 5.4mm. When the phone is closed, it still measures a comparatively slim 11.2mm. Although the Huawei Mate Xs 2 is slightly smaller and only has a single screen, Xiaomi's success in attaining nearly the same size with two displays is impressive. The company has been eager to boast that this is the thinnest foldable yet.
Even though it weighs more than the Huawei and is heavier than other "normal" phones, the phone is still rather light for its size at 262g. Those two exhibits appear to astound as well. The foldable display is a 120Hz, 8.02in, 2K LTPO 2.0 AMOLED, which should aid with battery efficiency, while the exterior features a conventional 21:9 aspect ratio, 120Hz, 6.56in AMOLED panel with Gorilla Glass Victus on top. Unsurprisingly, the phone's processor is a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 microprocessor with 12GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. The phone has a 4500mAh battery and 67W charging, which will keep it operational for some time.
After their collaboration debuted with the Xiaomi 12S series, Xiaomi has teamed up with Leica once more for the rear cameras. A 50Mp camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor serves as the primary shooter, and it is accompanied by an 8Mp 2x telephoto and a 13Mp ultrawide camera. Although it is not Xiaomi's most powerful camera, it should be able to compete.
If there is a significant restriction, it is that the internal display does not include a selfie camera with a punch-hole. Therefore, you will need to close the phone and use the smaller external display if you want to make or receive video calls or other comparable calls. The Mix Fold 2's operating system, MIUI Fold 13, which is based on Android 12, is installed. It has new window management features, as well as a taskbar at the bottom of the screen that is similar to the one Samsung, debuted for the Z Fold 4.
