The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold was released in April 2021 as the first foldable phone from Xiaomi, and while it did come with some really compelling specs, it also carried a seriously hefty price tag of 10,999 Yuan or around USD 1,725 for the 12GB + 512GB variant.
But less than a year later and it has now already become the cheapest horizontally foldable phone on the market.
The discount comes as part of the New Year’s Day festive spirit, with both the Gregorian and Chinese new year being just a month apart from each other in 2022. A price cut of 4,000 Yuan is being offered as part of the discount, effectively bringing down the price to 6,999 Yuan, which is less than USD 1,100. The sale will last until the end of January.
Of course, the phone never made it out of China despite rumors of a global launch surfacing just a few days following its announcement. The offer can thus only be availed in China, that too from only Xiaomi Mall on JD.com as of now.
Additionally, Xiaomi has also launched a Folding Screen Tiger Year gift box, priced at 8,999 yuan, which includes a Mi MIX Fold Ceramic Special Edition (16+512GB) and Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones 3 Pro.
The Xiaomi MIX Fold uses a 6.52-inch external AMOLED screen, which still holds up as the largest external screen in a folding phone, despite more recent launches like the OPPO Find N. It’s also quite high-end with a refresh rate of 90Hz and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
Other specs include Snapdragon 888, 5020mAh battery with support for 67W wired fast charging, 108MP triple camera setup, and stereo 4-unit speakers.
