Last year, Xiaomi officially launched its first foldable smartphone in the market under the MIX lineup, dubbed Mi MIX Fold. Now, the company is working on its successor, which is likely to be called Xiaomi MIX Fold 2.
As per the latest report, the upcoming foldable smartphone from Xiaomi has appeared in the IMEI database and the device has also passed through the certification process, revealing its model number to be 22061218C.
It has also been revealed that the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 could be officially launched in the Chinese market sometime in June or July next year. The phone, which is said to have “zizhan” codename, will come with upgraded specifications.
The latest report claims that the company will be using an 8.1-inch UTG AMOLED flexible screen from Samsung Display. The UTG display is thinly processed at the level of 30 microns and is made through a process that improves flexibility and durability.
Further, it is also said that the smartphone will have redesigned and upgraded hinges. As for the other improvements in the upcoming device, we will have to wait for a couple of more months before we start getting leaks.
For those who are unaware, Xiaomi had used the Polyimide Film (PI) for the flexible screen used in the MIX Fold smartphone, which was provided by Huaxing Optoelectronics (TCL CSOT). The same technology was also used by Huawei for its Mate X2.
