Xiaomi entered the foldable phone market with the launch of the Xiaomi Mix Fold which was launched last year and now the Chinese tech giant will follow it up with the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. Xiaomi has not revealed any features yet.

However, a Weibo post from the leakster Digital Chat Station revealed some interesting information regarding the display and screen specifications of the upcoming foldable smartphone.

The leakster revealed that the internal screen specification of the 2K high refresh rate flexible LTPO display of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is very luxurious, and it follows the same high screen-to-body design of its predecessor.

It has also been revealed that the foldable phone may come out with dual 120Hz high refresh rate internal and external screens, unlike the previous model, whose display was restricted to 60Hz. Furthermore, the external screen is slightly curved on one side, and the appearance is relatively thin and light.

It is worth mentioning that the Weibo post by the leakster did not mention the device directly. However, the description and the features in the post point directly to the Xiaomi Mix fold 2.

Previous reports suggest that the foldable smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Octa-core processor and runs on the Android 12 operating system. Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 is likely to have a higher battery capacity of 5020mAh and support for fast wired and wireless charging.

Apart from this, the phone is expected to come with triple rear cameras. It will have a 108MP Wide, 13MP ultra-wide, and 8MP telephoto lenses while on the front, it may feature a 20MP selfie camera.

OPPO is expected to unveil its first foldable smartphone dubbed OPPO Find N on December 15. Ahead of the launch, the device has been revealed by Korean media outfit TheElec to have a Samsung Display foldable screen for its 7.1-inch folding OLED panel while the front display is a 5.45-inch flat OLED panelsupplied by China’s BOE.

TheElec has also revealled that other Chinese companies are already patronising Samsung Display for their next foldable phones. Xiaomi is one of such firms as the Xiaomi MIX 2 foldable smartphone is touted to feature a UTG panel supplied by Samsung Display.

Samsung partnered with Corning to pioneer the UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) foldable display panel in 2020. The Galaxy Fold/Flip series was hitherto the only models utilizing the UTG panel until OPPO came onboard. Meanwhile Chinese smartphone makers use CPI (Colorless Polyimide) as display cover for their foldable models like the Huawei Mate X released in 2019 as well as the Mate X2 and Mi Mix Fold. But obviously, the CPI is not as durable as Samsung Display’s UTG panel hence the quest to shift to UTG. BOE is looking to give Samsung a run for its money in the UTG market.

Xiaomi’s upcoming MIX Fold 2 is detailed to feature Samsung Display’s 8.01-inch OLED panel with UTG as well as TCL CSOT’s 6.52-inch panel for the front screen. Xiaomi had initially used foldable display panels supplied by TCL CSOT as well as for the front screen  on the Mi MIX Fold.

Apart from Xiaomi, Vivo is also said to use display panels supplied by Samsung Disply and BOE for the inner foldable and outer displays respectively of its foldable phone. Huawei is said to have considered securing foldable OLED panels from Samsung Display but the plan was later shelved as far back as the first half of the year. The CHinese giant may likely retail BOE who had supplied the panels for the Mate X and Mate X2. Honor’s upcoming foldable device is also tipped to use BOE’s foldable display panel.
