At 7 pm (local time) on Aug. 11, Xiaomi will hold a big launch event in China. Last year, the company unveiled the Xiaomi MIX Fold as the company’s first foldable smartphone. Tomorrow, the company will release its successor – the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. A poster revealing the rear design of the phone is now doing rounds on Weibo. At the same time, a Weibo user shared the key specifications of the device.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2’s poster reveals that it will sport a different rear design as compared to its predecessor. The device has a horizontal camera setup, which houses a Leica-optimized triple camera unit and an LED flash. The right edge of the device seems to be fitted with a volume controller and a power button embedded with a fingerprint scanner.
