A quick look at Xiaomi’s Mix Fold 2

Days after Samsung unveiled its folding phones, Xiaomi did the same with its Mix Fold 2, which has just launched in China. At the moment, Samsung is the only player in the segment outside China but it may change soon.

The specs

There are considerable improvements over the original Mi Mix Fold, which released last year. The latest Fold 2 features Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship chipset with 12GB of RAM and several storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. More importantly, it features an improved hinge.

There are some bigger differences (literally!) when it comes to the screen. When folded, there is a 6.56-inch OLED outer display with a long 21:9 aspect ratio but unfolded, it is an 8.02-inch LTPO 2.0 inner display. Both the screens are larger than Samsung’s 6.2-inch OLED outer display and 7.6-inch OLED inner display on the Galaxy Z Fold4.
