Xiaomi’s Mix Fold 2 is here to take on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 - XDA Developers

Hot on the heels of Samsung’s announcement, Xiaomi has unveiled its latest flagship foldable — the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.

In addition, Xiaomi has packed Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset on the device, along with a new primary camera, better displays, and additional storage.

Like Samsung’s latest flagship foldable, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, 12GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of onboard storage.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is significantly slimmer than last year’s model and features an updated hinge that’s 20% more durable than the previous iteration.

Xiaomi claims that the waterdrop design of the new hinge makes it so that the foldable display doesn’t show as harsh of a crease as the original Mix Fold or Samsung’s foldables.

The device also features a new camera module design, which features a new primary camera.

Xiaomi has dropped the 108MP primary camera on last year’s model in favor of Sony’s 50MP IMX766 sensor which, combined with the improved ISP on the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and Xiaomi’s Leica partnership, should be able to deliver better images.

However, you shouldn’t expect the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras on the device to perform much better than last year’s model, as Xiaomi is using the same sensors this time around.
