In April 2021, Xiaomi released the Mi Mix Fold, the company’s first foldable phone. A year later, the Chinese company finally unveiled the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, the second generation.

The foldable has been almost completely redesigned, reaching a high level of quality with an attractive design, state-of-the-art components, and powerful Leica cameras.

Here’s all the information you need about the Mix Fold 2. Which has been introduced in China but isn’t available elsewhere.

Will the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 be available everywhere?

Of course, this is a Chinese launch, and given that the original Mix Fold was never successful elsewhere, it appears likely that the same will apply here. Even if it does, it probably won’t be for a few more weeks or months.

What is the average price of Xiaomi Mix Fold 2?

Priced at CNY 8,999 (approximately Rs 1,06,400) for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 was just released. The Mix Fold 2 comes in two storage sizes: 512GB and 1TB. The 512GB model costs CNY 9,999 (roughly Rs 1,18,300), while the 1TB and 12GB RAM version costs CNY 11,999. (Roughly Rs 1,42,000). If and when the smartphone will be released in other markets, such as India, are unknown.

What are the specifications and features of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2?

When it comes to the Mix Fold 2’s specifications, Xiaomi seems to have spared no expense.

The design, which has undergone a complete revision since the first generation, 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 barely 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 slimmer and only has a single screen. Xiaomi’s achievement in hitting nearly the same size with two displays is impressive. The company has been quick to boast that this is the thinnest foldable yet.

Even though it weighs more than the Huawei and is heavier than most “standard” phones, the phone is still relatively light for its size at 262g.

Those two displays appear to astound as well. It has an 8.02-inch, 2K, 120Hz LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display. Which should help with power efficiency, while the exterior features a standard 21:9 aspect ratio, 120Hz, 6.56in AMOLED panel with Gorilla Glass Victus on top.

More About Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Unsurprisingly, the phone’s processor is a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip 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 in 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 13Mp ultrawide cameras. 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 have a selfie camera with a punch-hole. Therefore, you will need to close the phone and use the smaller exterior display. If you want to make or receive video calls or other similar calls.

The Mix Fold 2’s operating system, MIUI Fold 13, which is based on Android 12, is installed. A taskbar is present at the display’s bottom.
