In addition to Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, Xiaomi also announced Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, Redmi K50 Ultra, and other products.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 measures 5.4mm unfolded. It has a folded body 11.2mm thin which is slimmer than many other foldable devices. Both edges measure 5.4mm unfolded.

Xiaomi focused on refining the hinge – the core component of the foldable smartphone. Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is equipped with a self-developed Micro Waterdrop Hinge which features a smaller bending radius, thinner screen modules, customized mini rotating hinge, and utilized an integrated solder-free precision process to create a carbon fiber double-wing floating panel. Together, these components reduced the number of parts to 87, enabling a lighter and thinner hinge design than ever before.

In addition, both sides of the hinge use space stacking technology, and use large hidden spaces on both sides of the hinge for soft boards, achieving a 20 percent increase in space utilization and thereby offering the 5.4mm flat design with balanced weight distribution.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 sports an inner folding design, with two AMOLED flagship screens of two different sizes on two respective sides. The outer display adopts a 21:9 classic ratio design, allowing for excellent compatibility with most applications and taking into account user experience when handling.

The 6.56” display features Samsung E5 material, a resolution of 2520×1080, and supports 120Hz high refresh rate and P3 color gamut, with a brightness of up to 1000nit–giving it an edge over other common displays thanks to its outstanding user experience.

On the inside Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 has an 8.02” Samsung Eco OLED display. It adopts POL-LESS technology, replaces the traditional polarizer with an ultra-thin color filter, and uses a black matrix material to reduce reflection on the screen.

Compared to traditional displays, light transmittance has been increased by 33 percent, with power consumption reduced by 25 percent. This screen has a resolution of 2160×1914, supports P3 color gamut and LTPO 2.0 1-120Hz AdaptiveSync Pro.

The ultra-low anti-AR film allows the display to reduce reflectivity to less than 2 percent, resulting in more detailed viewing experience and pleasing aesthetics.

The two displays support 120Hz refresh rate, professional screen calibration on primary colors, 1,000nit brightness and Dolby Vision.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 runs on the latest MIUI Fold 13 operating system.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX766 main camera, with 7P lenses all using ALD low-reflection coating. Also featured are a 13MP ultra-wide angle camera and a 8MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and portrait capabilities.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform for snappy performance. TSMC’s 4nm manufacturing process enables a significant increase in energy efficiency. The advanced process allows both CPU and GPU to receive a 10 percent boost in performance, while simultaneously improving CPU and GPU energy consumption by 30 percent.
