The Mi Mix Fold is Xiaomi’s first foldable smartphone. It was announced at the end of March 2021 and was made available for purchase in mid-April. Just like the current-gen Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, its predecessor is not sold outside mainland China.

The handset debuted with Android 11. Now, almost a year and a half after its release, the device is finally receiving the Android 12 update.

The latest software update for the Mi Mix Fold 2 arrives with build number V13.1.1.0.SJTCNXM. According to the official changelog, the update bumps up the Android version to 12 and the security patch level to August 2022.

The device is currently on MIUI 13, which is the latest version of Xiaomi’s Android skin at the moment. MIUI 13 was released for the phone in late April.

Since the beginning, the Mi Mix Fold has been receiving software updates slower than Xiaomi’s other handsets. But it did get an update in October with the longest changelog in MIUI history. This particular software update provided improvements and features based on the feedback from the actual users of the phone.

In December, a report suggested that the Mi Mix Fold might not receive new MIUI updates. Fortunately, that turned out to be false. However, it’s not known whether the smartphone will be upgraded to Android 13 or at least Android 12L in the future.
