Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: more stylish and elegant competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, and even $500 cheaper

Yesterday, Samsung held Galaxy Unpacked presentation where its new foldable smartphones Galaxy Fold 4 and Galaxy Flip 4 debuted. And today a response from Xiaomi followed - they showed a competitor to the Galaxy Fold 4 - Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.

What we know

Of course, everyone's tastes are different, but in appearance Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 leaves the Galaxy Fold 4 behind. The manufacturer did a great job on the design and managed to put the advanced "stuffing" in a pretty sleek body. When unfolded, its thickness is 5.4 mm, when folded - 11.2 mm. Although the camera unit still stands out well above the surface. The device weighs about 262 g.

The smartphone uses a 6.56-inch AMOLED panel with 120 Hz and Gorilla Glass Victus protective glass on the outside and an 8.02-inch LTPO main screen with 120 Hz and 2160×1914 pixel resolution. Both support Dolby Vision, 1000-nits peak brightness and TrueColour.

Inside we see a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor paired with 12GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage and a 4,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. It will only take 40 minutes to charge up to 100%. The gadget runs under MIUI Fold 13 based on Android 12 operation.

The main camera is developed together with Xiaomi's new partner Leica. It includes a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x zoom.

Price

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is available in several versions with the following prices:

• 256GB - $1335
• 512GB - $1483
• 1TB - $1780

Pre-orders are open from today, and sales start on August 16. But this is only in China. Whether the smartphone will be available on the international market is unknown, but its predecessor never reached it.
