Xiaomi has begun rolling out the HyperOS 3 update to a new set of devices. This HyperOS 3 build is different. It’s based on Android 15, which recently began rolling out to the Redmi K60 and Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro series and is now expanding to more devices, including the Xiaomi 12 series, Xiaomi 12S series, and others.

The HyperOS 3 build, based on Android 15, is currently only available in China. Here are the latest Xiaomi devices that are getting this update, along with the firmware versions (as shared by Xiaomi Time):

• Xiaomi 12: OS3.0.2.0.VLCCNXM
• Xiaomi 12 Pro: OS3.0.2.0.VLBCNXM
• Xiaomi 12S: OS3.0.2.0.VLTCNXM
• Xiaomi 12S Pro: OS3.0.2.0.VLECNXM
• Xiaomi 12S Ultra: OS3.0.2.0.VLACNXM
• Xiaomi Civi 3: OS3.0.1.0.VMICNXM
• Xiaomi MIX Fold 2: OS3.0.1.0.VLRCNXM

The HyperOS 3 update is currently available as a Mi Plot release to these devices, which essentially means a beta release. To receive this update, you must sign up to become a beta tester (click here for all the steps). The update will soon roll out to non-beta users once Xiaomi ensures that the build has no critical bugs.

Xiaomi has not confirmed a global release for the Android 15-based HyperOS 3 upgrade. However, the presence of global models such as Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro, and Xiaomi Civi 3 on the above list gives a positive indication. The brand typically rolls out the update in China first, then expands it to the rest of the world within a few weeks.

We’ll keep posting the latest developments around HyperOS in our Xiaomi section. Remember to visit this section regularly for the latest updates.

Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 (review) in August this year. It was initially available in Black and Gold colour options. At the Xiaomi 13 series launch event earlier this month, the company announced two new colour options of the Mi Mix Fold 2. These are called Moonlight Silver and Black Night and they are officially available for purchase starting today. 

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 Moonlight Silver and Black Night colour options horizontal blocks on the back panel. The former has a clear gloss finish whereas the latter has a leather-like texture. The new colour variants carry the same RMB 8,999 (~$1,335) starting price tag as the previous options. 

As for the core specifications, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2’s outer display features a 6.5-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED panel bearing an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The interior display also features ultra-thin glass and an under-display camera. Both the interior and outer displays support Dolby Vision, 1,000 nits peak brightness, and TrueColour.

This year Vivo released its first foldable phone ever: The X Fold. The year did not even come to an end, but the Blue Factory already refreshed it with the launch of a new variant: the Vivo X Fold+. The Plus variant is better than the previous device because of the presence of a stronger processor and a bigger battery, as well as a faster charging technology to fill it. But is it also better than the other latest foldable phones released by the other brands? As always, we think there is no better way to understand it than by comparing the device with the best rivals out there. There are two devices that can compete with this handset more than any other: one of them is the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. This is a comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo X Fold+ and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 which will help you to understand which one is the best.

Vivo X Fold+ vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Design

The Vivo X Fold Plus and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 come with similar form factors: they are foldable phones which can transform into tablets thanks to the presence of a huge foldable panel placed in the internal part (the one hidden while they are folded). If I look at their aesthetics, I personally prefer the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 because it has a less invasive camera module and it is also a thinner device. The dimensions of these handsets are not so different, but the Xiaomi is definitely thinner and lighter, especially thanks to the presence of a smaller battery. While it is unfolded it is just 5.4 mm thin, and while it is folded its thickness is just 11.2 mm. It weighs just 262 grams instead of more than 300 grams.

Display

The displays of these two phones are very close in terms of specifications. They both include two displays: an internal panel able to transform them into tablets, and an external one similar to normal phones. The internal display of the Vivo X Fold Plus is an AMOLED panel that has a diagonal of 8.03 inches, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a 2K+ resolution of 1916 x 2160 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 offers more or less the same specifications, but it adds Dolby Vision support and it is able to show up to one billion colors, so it is slightly better. Even the external panel of the Xiaomi is definitely better: it is a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision. The Vivo has a 6.53-inch external display with AMOLED technology, the same Full HD+ resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

These two foldable phones are powered by the same processor, which is currently the best mobile platform by Qualcomm. We are talking about the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. On both phones, the SoC is paired with 12 GB of RAM, but the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 offers a higher amount of internal storage: up to 1 TB. The handsets run Android 12 out of the box with highly customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

When it comes to the camera setup, the Vivo X Fold Plus is the real winner in this comparison. It has a quad rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor, all with Zeiss optics. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 lacks a periscope camera, replaced by an inferior 8 MP sensor with 2x optical zoom. The main sensor is still a 50 MP camera with OIS, but the ultrawide camera is another inferior 13 MP lens.

Battery

The Vivo X Fold Plus is equipped with a bigger battery sporting a capacity of 4730 mAh. Given that the phone has very similar components to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, it should provide longer battery life in several scenarios. It even comes with wireless charging, unless the Mix Fold 2, as well as a faster wired charging technology.

Price

You need at least €1450/$1450 to purchase the Vivo X Fold Plus, while the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 starts from about €1300/$1300 at the actual change. They are only available in China. The Vivo X Fold+ wins the comparison thanks to a better camera and a bigger battery with better charging technologies.

Samsung Z Fold 4 and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 are two of the early Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 foldable phones launched this year, so of course, many people are curious about which one is better. And it just so happens that our Z Fold 4 has arrived.

So it’s time to directly compare the Z Fold 4 vs the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.

DESIGN

Everyone has their own favorite designs, so we won’t discuss which phone is better looking. However, the design is still very different from the actual experience. The most obvious difference is the size and screen ratio.

The MIX Fold 2 looks more like a normal phone when folded. In contrast the Z Fold 4 is even smaller and has a narrower screen width. You must have thought I would give the MIX Fold 2 a good rating because it is more like a normal phone and thinner than other foldable models. Of course not! Z Fold 4 is very friendly for one-handed operation because of its smaller and narrower screen. Because the scenario of using the outside screen is basically outdoors, it is more comfortable for daily use, except for typing which may be it’s easy to press the wrong key.

On the other hand, the MIX Fold 2 is thinner, but its frame is not flat, like two steel plates against your palm. With a wider body and a more slippery back panel, the folded experience is really not as good as the Z Fold 4. When unfolded, the MIX Fold 2 turns from two steel plates into one steel plate that sticks to your pinky finger. Almost the same weight of Z Fold 4 but with a thicker body to get a more comfortable experience. Therefore, do not think that being thin is good, sometimes it would be counterproductive.

DISPLAY

I do want to compare their screen quality, but they are both top-of-the-line Samsung screens and I really don’t see any difference. I would recommend you to choose from its screen size and usage. For example, if you prefer a larger screen, choose the MIX Fold 2. If you like to play with one hand, choose Z Fold 4. Or if you don’t like the imperfect front lens of Samsung screen, you can choose MIX Fold 2. But if you need to do online meetings very often, then Z Fold 4 is more suitable for you.

Although the Z Fold has been updated to the fourth generation, the hinge is still something that many people complain about: Why is there still a gap there?

The cheaper MIX Fold 2 doesn’t have this problem, but that doesn’t mean it will have a better hinge than the Z Fold 4. The inability to fix the angle makes it less applicable than the Z Fold 4, for example, it can’t take time-lapse by itself, and it can’t stand on the table by itself. To make these functions possible, the hinge of Z Fold 4 is particularly stiff, which means that it requires a lot of force to unfold.

Let’s put it this way, opening the Z Fold 4 is like opening a rusty door, and with the flat frame, you really have to be careful not to drop your phone when unfolding it. This is where the curved frame of the MIX Fold 2 gets the edge. It has a flexible hinge, so it is very comfortable to open and close. The MIX Fold 2 has a wide and light crease, while the Z Fold 4 is narrow and deep. I don’t think there is a loser in the hinge section. Both of them just focus on different points.

PERFORMANCE, BENCHMARKS & GAMING

Performance has never been a strong point of Samsung phones, but just looking at Benchmark scores, the Z Fold 4 seems to be very powerful, and the result is very similar for MIX Fold 2. But scores don’t tell everything, you still need to actually play a few games to understand its actual performance. But Samsung did surprise us with a completely different game performance and score. Compared to the bright performance of the MIX Fold 2, the Z Fold 4 didn’t perform at all like a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone in large 3D games. And we didn’t test it at Sumeru, so if the test environment was tougher, the performance would have been even worse. So if you’re into playing big games like Genshin, the MIX Fold 2 is the better choice. 

1 of 4

Although Z Fold 4 is not as good as MIX Fold 2 in terms of frame rate, there is one thing that it is better than MIX Fold 2. In Genshin Impact, it is set to Highest Graphics, and the clarity is obviously much higher than MIX Fold 2. So you can choose to play with lower Graphics and the quality is not worse than MIX Fold 2. After our test, the frame rate did improve, but it’s still not as good as MIX Fold 2. Anyway, it’s finally crossing the pass line.

Both PUBG Mobile can only be selected up to HDR Graphics 60 fps mode. Both perform exactly the same and there is not much to say about them.

CAMERAS

The MIX Fold 2 has two Leica modes, and we chose LEICA VIBRANT for comparison. Because the other mode has a very strong filter effect, while LEICA VIBRANT is closer to the colors of a traditional phone.

Both phones have a camera system consisting of a main camera, ultra-wide camera, and telephoto camera. To be honest, in most scenes they perform similarly and it’s hard for me to tell you which one is better. I can only tell you what styles they have in specific scenes. For example, the white balance of the Z Fold 4’s photos leans towards warm colors, while the MIX Fold 2 is cooler. The Z Fold 4’s ultra-wide camera can take brighter photos in extremely low light, but it requires you to hold the phone for 7 seconds. The MIX Fold 2 is not as bright, but it only takes you 3 seconds.

Also, the Z Fold 4 has a 3x optical lens, while it’s a 2x in MIX Fold 2, and the Z Fold 4 has a wider ultra-wide angle camera. So the focal length coverage of Z Fold 4 will be more comprehensive. You can see that even at 5x magnification, the Z Fold 4 is not particularly blurry, but the MIX Fold 2 has turned into an oil painting. A wider lens can also help you take more unique photos, so I personally prefer the Z Fold 4 camera system.

For full-sized camera samples, you can check out this drive link.

Regarding how to make full use of this big screen, Samsung is definitely the better one. This time One UI 4.0 is really friendly to foldable phones, on the other hand, the UI on MIX FOLD is like a half-baked cake. Mix Fold 2’s operation logic is similar to most Xiaomi phones, even the split screen function can not be split into upper and lower parts, only left and right, and you can not change the size. These problems do not exist in the Z Fold 4, and One UI added a similar PC task bar design, Type C port can also support video output, making this foldable phone more like a mini PC. Oh, stylus is also there for Z Fold 4, but not supported by Xiaomi. I think the foldable phone software in Samsung is certainly better than Xiaomi. We should all agree on this point, right?

CHARGING & BATTERY

The MIX Fold 2 supports 67w wired charging, which is much faster than the 25w of the Z Fold 4. It takes 45 minutes and 65 minutes to fully charge both. The Z Fold 4 is not as powerful, but it has wireless charging, so you can always keep it fully charged.

The battery capacity is about the same for both, and the chip is the same, so the battery life should theoretically be about the same, and it shouldn’t affect your choice. By the way, if you buy the Z Fold 4, you will get a 33w charger and a charging cable. But If you buy the MIX Fold 2, you’ll also get a very nice case and a screen film for the outside screen.

Just by looking at the specs, the two phones come very close. But there are some things that you can’t tell who is good and who is bad just by looking at the specs. Through our actual experience and testing, we have listed out their pros and cons to see if you can accept them.

In my opinion, Z Fold 4 is a near-perfect foldable phone, and as long as you can afford it, I recommend it the most among all foldable phones. If you don’t care about the drawbacks of MIX Fold 2, then it is not that bad, it’s just that the rivals are too good this time.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with an advanced flexible display which now looks like a sticking tooth for the model in terms of repairability. The Mix Fold 2 has a 120Hz Samsung AMOLED screen whose replacement may cost up to half of the price of the smartphone itself.

The Mix Fold 2 comes with a slimmer design than its predecessor, the Mix Fold. It is Xiaomi’s latest foldable flagship with lots of improved features. It has a main 8.02-inch 2K display whose repair can be very expensive, with no warranty provided by the company. The new flagship has 12GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

Xiaomi has released a schedule of service costs for the flagship smartphone, with component replacement costs going as high as 4,899 yuan ($713). The replacement of the LTPO 2.0 Eco2 AMOLED screen costs around 4,899 yuan ($713), while the motherboard replacement is about 8,999 yuan ($408). The Mix Fold’s motherboard replacement was about $742, so there is a slight improvement in the new device’s repairability.

To put the repair costs in perspective, the Mix Fold 2 is retailed at $1,310. This means that the replacement of two components of the new Xiaomi foldable exceeds $1,100. Therefore, it may not make any economic sense to repair a Mix Fold 2 model with a faulty screen.

Hopefully, the new Xiaomi foldable flagship comes well-padded in terms of durability. So, you may not need to undertake major and extensive repairs for a while. That won’t be a problem for fans outside China as Xiaomi doesn’t plan to launch the Mix Fold 2 for the global market.

Samsung is definitely the king of the foldable phone niche: there is no brand that can compete at the moment. Its foldable reached the 4th generation and there is no company that arrived at this point. But several Chinese manufacturers released their foldable phones and they are perfectly able to compete with the latest ones launched by the Korean giant. A few days ago, Samsung launched the brand new Galaxy Z Fold4 which debuted in the global market. Xiaomi on its end came up with the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, and it is another flagship foldable phone with incredible specifications. At least for now, this device is not global, but while waiting for an eventual global launch, we can give you the first conclusions. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Design

Samsung made a lot of progress with the hinges of its foldable phones, but even if we exclude that, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is more convincing. Indeed, it is a lot more compact than the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, and given the success of the OPPO Find N, it is kinda clear that people prefer foldable phones able to become very compact while folded. It also looks like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 has a better build quality. It is waterproof with the IPX8 certification and it comes with an aluminum frame with tougher drop and scratch resistance compared to the previous generation. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has wider displays, but it is bigger and chunkier, even though it is thinner while unfolded. So do you prefer a bigger display or a more compact foldable phone?

Display

As already mentioned, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has wider displays, but what about the quality and the features? Well, the foldable display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is more interesting. It is a 7.6-inch panel with AMOLED technology, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a better hinge, and the HDR10+ certification. Last but not least, it supports the S Pen for handwriting and drawing to behave like a real Galaxy Note. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is all but disappointing: it has a wider 8.02-inch panel with OLED technology, the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, one billion colors, Dolby Vision support, and the HDR10+ certification. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 wins if we talk about external display, thanks to a 6.56-inch AMOLED panel sporting a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

With these two devices, you should get the same level of performance because they have the same hardware components. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 730 GPU. The chip is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Note that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 runs Android 12L: a customized version of Android made for devices with big screens. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has the optimized MIUI Fold based on the original Android 12.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 wins the camera comparison. It has a triple camera setup on the rear side composed of a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 10 MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide sensor with a 12 MP resolution. It also comes with two front cameras: one on the foldable display with a 10 MP resolution and one on the external display with a 4 MP resolution. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has a triple rear camera with a 50 MP main sensor including OIS, an 8 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide camera with a FOV of 123 degrees, as well as a 20 MP front snapper.

The battery of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is slightly bigger with a capacity of 4500 mAh, and it even charges quicker thanks to 67W fast charging. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is the only one to support wireless charging and fast wireless charging.

Price

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is priced at $1699/€1699 globally, while the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is only official for the Chinese market with a starting price of €1450/$1450. Which one would you pick?

Xiaomi has been growing steadily over the past decade to establish its brand presence in the global market. Whether it be smartphones, tablets, earphones, dashcams, or even weighing scales, this Beijing-based consumer electronics company is now a household name for many regions across the world.

Recently, the Xiaomi Corporation published its quarterly report on the company’s financials and market share for Q2 2022, and surprisingly, the company shares that the brand is now the 2nd most popular smartphone brand in Europe, overtaking Apple.

In a published report on the brand’s official global newsroom, Xiaomi states that the company is growing its global footprint, and increasing its market share globally steadily for the past few years. As of Q2 2022, the company quotes that it now accounts for 21.7% of all smartphone shipments in Europe, ranking 2nd whilst overtaking Apple in 3rd and behind Samsung at 1st.

Across the world, Xiaomi is ranked within the Top 3 in 55 markets globally in smartphone shipments for Q2 2022, and within the Top 5 across 67 markets globally in smartphone shipments. The Xiaomi corporation states that it has recorded quarter-on-quarter growth in market share across the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa in Q2 2022.

In terms of revenue, Xiaomi has announced that its overseas revenue now accounts for 48.4% of total revenue earned by the company, meaning that almost half of the company’s total revenue is now reliant on its overseas operations outside of China, reducing its reliance in the domestic market in China. For Q2 2022, the company recorded 34 billion RMB (4.95 billion USD) in overseas revenue in a single quarter alone.

Global brand recognition wise, in August 2022, Xiaomi was named on the Fortune Global 500 list for the fourth consecutive year and ranked 266th, advancing 72 spots from 2021. And the Xiaomi Corporation expects its brand recognition on the global stage to continue to rise.

To quote the report, “In May 2022, Xiaomi announced its long-term strategic partnership in imaging technology with Leica, another milestone in Xiaomi’s premiumization development. In July 2022, Xiaomi announced its first model with Leica, Xiaomi 12S Ultra. It features Leica Summicron lenses and a Sony IMX989 one-inch image sensor, along with the Leica Authentic Look and the Leica Vibrant Look imaging profiles, delivering a highly texturized smartphone photography experience.”

Xiaomi is heavily ramping up R&D investment to establish itself as a premium brand in the market, and with both the professional Leica-branded Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 announced, the brand is more closer and confident than ever to claiming the crown in the smartphone industry.

The post Xiaomi Overtakes Apple as the 2nd Most Popular Smartphone Brand in Europe appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold4 and, just like last year, Xiaomi did not stand by and watch. The Chinese giant came up with the amazing Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, a device that has nothing to envy of the best foldable phones on the market. But this year, Samsung and Xiaomi are not the only companies that launched a foldable phone able to transform into a tablet. A few months ago, even Vivo launched its first foldable phone: the Vivo X Fold. Despite being the first foldable from the Blue Factory, it has no compromises and it is perfectly able to compete with the best ones. That is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the main specifications of the Vivo X Fold and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. If you want to know more, go ahead and, if you do not agree with us, let us know what you think by using the comment box below the article.

Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Design

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 and the Vivo X Fold have the same form factor, with a foldable display on the internal part and an additional display on the external part. But which one is the most beautiful? I personally prefer the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 because it has a smaller camera module and because it is thinner and lighter than its rival. While unfolded, its thickness is just 5.4 mm, while the weight is 262 grams. However, the Vivo X Fold remains a beautiful foldable phone and it is not too heavy or too thick. The hinge mechanisms are sturdy and resistant, allowing to position the two handsets at different angles depending on the usage scenario. Both feature a nano SIM slot, but the Xiaomi is the only one with a dual SIM slot, while you can insert just one single SIM on the Vivo and it does not even support the eSIM technology.

Display

Coming to the internal foldable display, on the paper, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 looks to offer a better panel. It is an AMOLED display with the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and up to one billion colors just like the most advanced flagship-class panels. The foldable display has a diagonal of 8.02 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1914 x 2160 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits. On the external part, there is an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and a 6.56-inch diagonal. The Vivo X Fold has an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED display with a 2K resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, while the external panel is a 6.53-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the most advanced hardware, go for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 without thinking twice. First of all, it is powered by the best Qualcomm chipset to date: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform. It is an SoC built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at a frequency of 2.75 GHz, and four Cortex A510 running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 730 GPU. The chipset is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage, so there is more internal storage than Vivo X Fold which stops at 512 GB. Further, the X Fold has an inferior Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with an interesting MIUI customization dedicated to foldable phones based on Android 12, while the Vivo runs Origin OS Ocean based on Android 12.

Camera

While the Xiaomi Fold 2 wins the display and hardware comparison, the Vivo X Fold is definitely better when it comes to the cameras. It has a quad rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor. With the Xiaomi, you only get a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor.

Battery

Not only the Vivo X Fold has a slightly bigger battery with a capacity of 4600 mAh, but it is also the only one to feature wireless charging, and it reaches a wireless charging power of 50W. So it wins the battery comparison.

Price

You need about €1300/$1300 to purchase the Vivo X Fold and that is the same price as the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 in China. So which one is the best? If you care about the camera, then Vivo X Fold wins. It even comes with a bigger battery and wireless charging. For the rest, the Xiaomi looks slightly more interesting. Which one would you pick?

The post Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi recently unveiled its foldable smartphone for the year, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. While the first generation model from the brand receivedan  average response, the company is likely hoping its second generation model, with a slimmer and more premium-looking design profile, manages to catch everyones attention.

We have already compared the two main flagships of 2022 – the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs the Galaxy Z Fold4. But there are multiple options for foldables in the Chinese market like the OPPO Find N which received a lot of media attention a few months back. So we thought it would be a good idea to compare the new Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs the OPPO Find N in this article.

Here’s a quick specs comparison between two slim foldables available in the market in 2022.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs OPPO Find N

Design

The two foldables adopt a different approach when it comes to their designs. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with a much larger screen and consequently larger dimensions. However, it’s both thinner and lighter than the OPPO Find N, and by a considerable margin.
If we directly compare the dimensions, the Mix Fold 2 (161.1 x 144.7 x 5.4mm) is both taller and wider than the OPPO Find N (132.6 x 140.2 x 8.0mm). However, the Xiaomi foldable compensates for its larger dimensions with a much thinner profile (5.4mm unfolded and 11.2 mm folded vs 8mm unfolded and 15.9mm folded on the Find N). What’s also interesting is that the outer display on the Mix Fold 2 is wider than the Find N, putting it much closer to our standard smartphone displays.

As for their weights, the Mix Fold 2 weighs 262gms vs 275gms of the OPPO model.
Even their design philosophies are different. While the Mix Fold 2 comes with a boxier design with sharper corners (like the old Galaxy Note series), the Find N comes with rounded corners with a curvier profile.

Since both the phones feature an inward folding design, the final choice in this department would boil down to your personal preference. If you want a compact design with a curvier profile, go for the Find N, but if you want a foldable that’s slim and features a larger screen like a tablet, go for the Mix Fold 2.

Display

Owing to the larger dimensions of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, it boasts a much larger screen too. On the outside, it comes with a 120Hz HDR10+ 8-inch 1914 x 2160 pixel resolution display (LTPO2) with Schott UTG glass. As for the cover display, it has a 6.56-inch panel, again with 120Hz, 21:9 aspect ratio, and HDR10+, making it very close to our standard smartphone screen size.

In comparison, the OPPO Find N features a 7.1-inch foldable display with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. But on paper, this LTP0 display is less bright than the Mix model. Also, the cover display is pretty compact at 5.46-inches with 988 x 1972 pixels resolution and does not feature a high refresh rate.

Clearly, the Mix Fold 2 outdoes the OPPO Find N in the display department, which isn’t surprising given that it’s a fairly new device.

Both foldables come with side-mounted fingerprint sensors.

Specs & Software

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is a 2022 smartphone and this is evident in its specifications. The biggest update to the device is in the processor department, now featuring the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip, which is way faster and more efficient than the one found inside the Find N mode. The OPPO foldable is powered by the Snapdragon 888 running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz.

As for their memory configuration, the Mix 2 Fold maxes out at 1TB ROM and 12GB of RAM while the Find N has a max configuration of 512GB ROM and 12GB RAM.

In the software department, the Mix Fold 2 runs on the newer Android 12-based MIUI Fold 13 OS. In comparison, the OPPO Find N is still running on Android 11 (customized by ColorOS 12). But it is worth adding that the Find N did get support for the Android 13 beta update and is expected to receive the new ColorOS 13 stable update in the coming months.

Both phones have features tweaked to take full advantage of their foldable form factor.

Camera

Both the foldables have pretty good camera setups. The Mix Fold 2 comes with a 50MP f/1.8 primary camera with OIS, another 8MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 13MP Ultra wide shooter. Note that these cameras are Leica optimized like its 12S series.
Similarly, the OPPO Find N comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 16 MP ultrawide camera. The Xiaomi foldable features a 20MP selfie camera while the OPPO Find N has two amazing 32 MP front cameras: one on the internal display and another one on the external panel.

Only a real-life camera comparison between the two phones will reveal if either of them has an advantage in the camera department. That said, both phones have pretty solid camera setups.

Battery

In the battery department, the two foldables feature the same 4500mAh capacity batteries. However, the Mix Fold 2 comes with a faster 67W wired charging. On the other hand, the Find N has a slower 33W charging support, but adds 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging support.

The wireless charging support justifies the thicker profile of the OPPO Foldable and having a feature like this would give it an advantage over the Mix foldable, despite its faster wired charging speeds.

Price

Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 starts around 8,999 yuan (~$1,335) for the base 256GB storage, while the starting price tag of the OPPO Find N roughly translates into €1070/$1210. Given that the Xiaomi foldable is a brand new device, it’s pretty expensive to buy globally and retails for around $1700 via Giztop. On the other hand, the OPPO Find N retail for a much cheaper price tag globally at around $1299.
If you are ready to shell out more for a top-end foldable, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 would be a good choice. However, the OPPO Find N is also a pretty competitive foldable, despite being older, and can save a significant amount of your money if you get it right now.

Over the past couple of years, foldable smartphones have matured to an extent where it can be your daily driver. The earlier generations were far from perfect, plagued with issues such as a visible crease on the internal screen, less durable components, and even a lack of IP certification.

But things have changed now. The newly launched Galaxy Z Fold4 and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 are two of the best foldable smartphones that you can buy on the market. Given that the two companies announced their models almost around the same time, it makes complete sense to compare the two models.

Let’s take a quick look at the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 comparison and see how they fare against each other.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4

Design

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 feature an inward folding design. This means that both phones feature two displays. One is a large tablet-like display that folds inwards and there’s another external display for use in the folded state.

Given their similar design philosophies, we can directly compare the two foldable in the design department.

The Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with a more curved and rounded design, similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 adopts a boxier design profile, similar to the Galaxy Note series designs we’ve seen earlier. That said, both the phones look premium and polished for their prices with the Xiaomi foldable coming in standard black and gold colors, while the Samsung models adding in fancier Burgundy and Graygreen color options.

Another big difference is in the styling of the camera modules. The Galaxy foldable features a vertical camera module, housing its three cameras while the Xiaomi foldable comes with a rectangular camera module, featuring its three cameras. This gives the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 a more symmetric look than the Galaxy model.

As for its dimensions, the Xiaomi model does have an advantage here, being just 5.4mm thick in the tablet mode (vs 6.3mm on the Galaxy Fold 4). Even in the folded state, it is way thinner than the Galaxy model at 11.2mm (vs 14mm).

Notably, the Xiaomi model is larger than the Samsung one, thanks to its larger displays on both the front and the back. However, unlike the Samsung model, it does not come with stylus support, which is a shame.

There’s no clear winner in this department as both are well-built foldables on paper.

Display

Let’s start with their unfolded displays first. Thanks to its larger dimensions, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 brings a larger display compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It features an 8.02-inch 1914 x 2160 foldable OLED panel with 120Hz refresh, HDR10+, Dolby Vision on the inside, and a 6.56-inch 1080 x 2520 resolution screen with a 21:9 ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support on the outside.
In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold4 features a 7.6-inch 1812 x 2176 HDR10+, 120Hz panel on the inside, and a 6.2-inch 904 x 2316 screen with a 23.1:9 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate on the outside.

As you can see, both the displays boast top-end specs on paper, and it’s good to see both phones adding 120Hz refresh rate support on their internal and external screens. However, Xiaomi seems to have an advantage in terms of sizing and aspect ratio. If you look closely, the external display of the Xiaomi model features a standard aspect ratio of 21:9 which is not the case with Samsung’s 23.1:9 screen.

Both the models feature Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) protection on their foldable internal screen.

Finally, we can’t talk about foldable screens without really talking about creases. This is where the Samsung model could have the advantage with the company coming close to perfecting the art of limiting the visible crease on its display. Xiaomi also boasts of crease-less displays but Samsung seems to have the advantage here.

Specs & Software

The two foldables are evenly matched when it comes to the hardware. Both the models come with the 3.2GHz Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip, which is the best smartphone chipset for Android phones in 2022. With options of up to 1TB of storage and 12GB of RAM on both models, they will never be short of power, be it for heavy gaming or running intensive apps. Even multitasking should be a breeze.

That said, the software is where the two phones should differ significantly. The Xiaomi model comes with Android 12-based MIUI Fold 13 OS. This is similar to the OS that runs on its smartphones with a few adaptations (like multitasking) for its foldable form factor.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with a dedicated OS for large screens, giving it an edge. It features the Android 12L OS with OneUI 4.1.1 on top of it, adding tablet-specific features like Samsung Flex, making the experience a lot more productive and fun.

While in terms of processing power, both the phones are well matched, the software is one area where Samsung brings its rich experience in the field of foldables. This gives the Galaxy Z Fold 4 an edge in this department.

Camera

The camera is another department where the two phones are well matched.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with a 50MP f/1.8 primary camera with OIS, another 10MP 3x telephoto zoom camera with OIS, and a 12MO ultra wide-angle shooter with 123˚ FoV. On the inside, the phone features a 4MP f/1.8 selfie shooter which is under the display. The Samsung model also adds another 10MP selfie camera on its cover display.
In comparison, the Xiaomi Mix Fold2 comes with a 50MP f/1.8 primary camera with OIS, 8MP 2x optical zoom telephoto lens and a 13MP 123˚ ultra-wide shooter. It features a 20MP selfie camera on the front.

As you can see, both the models feature a solid camera setup, comparable to the flagships of 2022. They even support up to 8K video recording.

Battery

It’s the year 2022 but foldable smartphones still lack large batteries. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with an average 4500mAh capacity battery and 67W charging. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with a 4400mAh battery with 25W charging support.
However, the Galaxy foldable, like its predecessor, comes with wireless and reverse wireless charging support at 15W, which is absent on the Xiaomi model.

Price

The Galaxy Z Fold4 starts at $1,799.99/£1,649/€1,799 globally. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 retails for around 8,999 yuan (~$1,335) in China. But you can get it globally via sites like Giztop for $1799.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4 brings multiple generations of refinements, making it one of the best foldables of 2022. However, the phone is still pretty pricey, especially when you compare it to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. In terms of hardware, they are pretty evenly matched, however, the Samsung model would have an advantage in the software department.

If Xiaomi makes the foldable available globally for a cheaper price than the Galaxy Z Fold4, it will make the foldable market a lot more interesting in the coming weeks.

Ever since Xiaomi made the MIX Fold first generation, it doesn’t seem to have received the attention it deserved. I personally feel that it is probably one of the biggest failures in Xiaomi’s smartphone lineup. But recently, Xiaomi tried making a comeback in this category with a new foldable, and here is our unboxing of the MIX Fold 2.

The box of MIX Fold 2 is just like other foldable phones, meaning its very big. The box is opened in a pull-out and flip-book style, which is also a way to show the MIX Fold 2’s premium status in the Xiaomi phone family. After taking out this piece of cardboard, the MIX Fold 2 is shown in front of our eyes.

As usual, we’ll first put the phone aside, and look at the accessories inside. First, theres the usual 67w charger and data cable. You also get an instruction manual and a SIM Card pin.  The most special thing is this protective case. The ugly transparent case that comes with the Xiaomi 12S Ultra has finally been replaced with a vegan leather case, and this one has a bar. It can make your phone stand up. That’s right, this is a really high-end phone case, not the usual cheap one.

There are two ways to make a foldable phone: one is to make the Foldable phone as perfect as possible without worrying much about sizing and weight, such as Samsung’s Z Fold series and Vivo’s X Fold. The other is to make it as light and small as possible, you know to present it like a normal phone after folding, such as OPPO Find N and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2.

Look at the thickness, it is even thinner than iPad mini. And it’s thinner than most Foldable phones of the same type. If you’re still not sure how thin it is, take three coins and stack them up, it’s about that thick. Plus, it is one of the lightest among other foldable phones, so it really feels like a very compact mini tablet in your hand. When you close it up, it’s a little heavier and thicker than a normal phone, but it’s also within an acceptable range. If you want to buy a foldable phone, but you want it to be thin and light enough, then OPPO Find N and MIX Fold 2 are definitely one of the choices.

But I’m sure you’ll choose the MIX Fold 2 because two screens are better than the Find N. First, this 21:9 screen outside, the display area is straight, the right side of the protective glass has a curve, gesture operation is more comfortable, and at the same time, it will not affect the display. The protective glass is Corning Victus, and the bezel is also very narrow. And most importantly, it has 120Hz refresh rate. The screen inside is also a top screen, using UTG glass, and the creases are at the same level as the Vivo X Fold. It’s notable that the Eco² OLED panel is used this time, and the biggest benefit is that it’s more power efficient. I’m looking forward to seeing how much longer the MIX Fold 2 lasts in the full review battery life test.

Speaking of battery life, the MIX Fold 2 is packed with two batteries totaling 4500mAh. Although every foldable phone has a similar battery capacity, Xiaomi should have put a lot of effort into it considering it’s such a thin and light body. What’s Equally surprising is the fact that even at only 5mm thick, an IMX 766 main camera has been put in there. With Leica’s tuning, I believe that photography should not be the shortcoming of MIX Fold 2. 

The MIX Fold 2 was delayed until today, I believe a big reason for that was to wait for the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Without that chip, the Snapdragon 888+ or 8 Gen 1 would definitely make this phone’s battery drain a lot faster. We also probably run some benchmarks, and the scores can be paused for a closer look. The details of the camera test and game test will be further analyzed in our upcoming Full review, so stay tuned.

Xiaomi customized the MIUI Fold 13 system for the MIX Fold 2. Compared to the first gen system that was copied from the tablet, this system still has a lot of changes. For example, the layout has changed, there are more desktop icons, and many APPs have been optimized for layout. Gestures have also been added, such as a three-finger horizontal swipe to quickly split the screen. There are also various uses of multi-window, such as playing Genshin while using the map tools, and perhaps watching a video. The initial experience is that the MIUI Fold system is still good.

As we all know, when a phone gets lighter and thinner, it must come at a price. Mix Fold 2 is certainly not perfect, and there are some drawbacks that we knew even before we got the phone. For example, there is no wireless charging, which makes sense since wireless charging coils lead to a thicker body. The PC mode on the MIX Fold first gen has also been removed. In order to reduce weight, the hinge is simplified a lot, so it has a very small staying angle. This means that in many scenarios you are not able to use this device like the X Fold or Z Fold.

Okay, that’s all from our MIX Fold 2 Unboxing today. Are you satisfied with this MIX Fold 2 after the first look? I think it meets my expectations for the Xiaomi Foldable phone. Of course, the camera and performance are still not tested, so I can’t still give you a final verdict.

But what do you think of the phone so far? Let us know in the comments down below.

A few days ago, along with the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition aka Redmi K50 Ultra, Xiaomi also launched its flagship foldable smartphone dubbed Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. As the name indicates, the phone is a successor to the Mi MIX Fold, which was launched last year.

Today, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 smartphone officially went on sale in the Chinese market, and the company has now announced that the foldable smartphone was sold out within just five minutes of going on sale but has not revealed the number of units sold.

The base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is priced at 8,999 yuan (~$1,325), while the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model costs 9,999 yuan (~$1,474). The top-end model with 12GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage is priced at 11,999 yuan (~$1,769).

Coming to the specifications, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 features a 6.5-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ screen resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. When the device is unfolded, the interior Eco OLED screen measures 8.2-inches which offers a 2.5K screen resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also features ultra-thin glass and comes with an under-display camera.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The power button on the device also doubles up as a fingerprint sensor.

In a separate leak, the tipster Digital Chat station reveals that Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 will have an improved screen ratio.

Xiaomi’s new foldable is expected to carry significant upgrades. It is rumored to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8+ gen1 Soc, a 50-megapixel main camera, and Xiaomi’s proprietary imaging chip called the Surge C1. We can expect it to go head to head with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Now, a new report coming from Digital Chat Station has revealed some of the key specifications and features of the upcoming Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 smartphone, giving us a hint of what to expect.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, which is codenamed zizhan and carries model number 22061218C, will come with an 8-inch display and a 6.5-inch external screen which should have a bi-direction folding design.

Foldable phones are all the hype these days. More and more companies are jumping into the concept. The foldable phone market is dominated by Samsung but slowly more smartphone brands are making room for them. Xiaomi entered the segment with the Mi Mix Fold. The Chinese company will follow it up with the Mix Fold 2 this year, and a new report sheds some light on what the upcoming foldable will look like.

There have been many rumors and speculations flying around regarding the Mix Fold 2. However, a recent report by XDA finally gives us the first glimpse of Xiaomi’s next foldable.

Kacper Skrzypek, a senior XDA member, discovered images of the Mi Mix Fold successor within the latest MIUI China builds.

The image does not provide much insight except the outline of the phone and camera placement. It can be seen that the camera bump on the back of the phone is a square with rounded corners, unlike the rectangular bump of Mi Mix Fold.

The inner display is clean and does not have any camera cutout, the handset can be seen to have a punch hole camera in the center of the external display.

Skrzypek also shared that the foldable phone is codenamed “Zizhan”. The MIUI code further reveals “Zizhan” will have the same display as “Umi” (codename for the Mi 10) which means Mi Mix Fold 2 may come out with a Super AMOLED display carrying support for 90Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+.

Previous leaks suggest that the device will have an improved crease and could be powered by TSMC-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus. MIX Fold 2 is likely to have an internal screen size of 8-inches and a cover display size of 6.5-inches.

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.

The post Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 to have Premium Flexible 2k internal screen and 120 Hz refresh rate, says tipster appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi after releasing the Xiaomi 12 series a few months back now has a couple of other flagship phones in the pipeline. There’s the much-leaked Xiaomi 12 Ultra and then there’s the MIX FOLD series, although a tipster now says that one of the models from the bunch will be skipped this year.

The Xiaomi MIX series caters to the enthusiast market and as such offers experimental, bleeding-edge tech. It currently comprises the more conventional phone design in the form of the MIX series and the newer foldable lineup sold under the MIX FOLD series. The last model from the former was the Xiaomi MIX 4 from August 2021 but tipster Ice Universe has revealed that its successor will not be launched this year, contrary to many previous reports.

Xiaomi will be focusing solely on the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 instead, which according to leaks will be the world’s first foldable phone with a 360° hinge, meaning the device can be folded in both directions.

It’s also reported that the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 is expected to be launched in June this year, carrying model number 22061218C. Codenamed zizhan, it will only be available in China, as has been the case lately with every MIX offering. The phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and adopts a 2.5K LTPO high refresh rate internal screen.

A better aspect ratio for the external screen is expected along with an improved, less-visible crease. Crease-less foldable phones seem to be smartphone OEM’s biggest fixation this year. A trend first started with the OPPO Find N, we should be seeing even more foldables with smoother inside displays.

The post No Xiaomi MIX 5 this year but new MIX Fold model in the works, tipster says appeared first on Gizmochina.

Multiple specifications concerning the display of the upcoming Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 have been revealed by tipster Digital Chat Station through a post on Weibo. Just like the original MIX Fold, the MIX Fold 2 will once again come with a book-style folding solution, with an internal screen size of 8-inches and a cover display size of 6.5-inches.

The crease of the upcoming foldable device has been improved significantly compared to one of the previous generation, and both internal and external displays now support high refresh rates (120Hz), unlike the older model whose cover display was restricted to 60Hz. There’s DC dimming for eye protection onboard too. LTPO was also mentioned, although it looks limited to the inner panel.

The tipster also revealed that the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 was last year planned to ship with the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but could now opt for the TSMC-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus. The latter is expected to address the shortcomings of the former, which has been losing out to the likes of the Dimensity 9000, at least in terms of benchmarks.

Both chips will have a very similar configuration though, with a “1+3+4” arrangement comprising 1x super-large Cortex-X2 core, 3x large Cortex-A710 cores, and 4x small Cortex-A510 cores.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is expected to be launched around the middle of 2022. Its price is expected to be about 9,999 Yuan based on the fact that its predecessor was launched for the same price.

Xiaomi entered the foldable smartphone market with the launch of its MIX Fold last year and now the company is gearing up to launch its successor, which is likely to be named Xiaomi MIX Fold 2.

Now, a new report from leakster Digital Chat Station reveals some key details about the upcoming foldable smartphone, including the chipset powering the device and details about the phone’s display.

It has been leaked that the MIX Fold 2 smartphone will feature an 8-inch LTPO display offering a screen resolution of 2.5K. The screen size of the device almost makes it a tablet as the Apple iPad Mini features an 8.3-inch display.

Apart from the screen details, it has also been revealed that the device will come powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which will power most of the premium phones getting launched this year.

It’s noteworthy that the report doesn’t explicitly mention the device to be the MIX Fold 2 but given the screen size, no smartphone other than the MIX Fold series from the company fits the description.

There are a few other devices from Xiaomi which are scheduled to go official in the coming weeks or months. In February, the company will be taking the wraps off the Redmi K50 series, which includes the Redmi K50, K50 Pro, K50 Pro Plus, and the K50 Gaming Edition.

The company is also working on two other devices codenamed “thor” and “loki” which are expected to feature high-end camera configuration. There are also reports about some other mid-range products, including the Redmi Note 12 series. Apart from the MIX Fold 2, Xiaomi could also launch another foldable smartphone named MIX Flip to take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series.

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.

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.

OPPO kickstarted the OPPO INNO DAY 2021 conference today. The company made multiple announcements, however, the star of the show, OPPO Find N, will be only unveiled tomorrow. Ahead of that, a report reveals the display suppliers of the company’s first foldable smartphone.

According to a report by The Elec (via SamMobile), the yet-to-be-announced OPPO Find N uses a 7.1-inch foldable OLED panel supplied by Samsung Display. This screen is protected by UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) instead of polyimide film. However, the external 5,45-inch OLED panel comes from BOE.

Further, the internal folding screen supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Despite that, it consumes less energy as it utilizes LTPO  (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) TFT (Thin Film Transistor).

Up until now, Samsung Electronics has been the sole OEM to offer UTG and LTPO tech in its foldables. With the OPPO Find N, OPPO becomes the first-ever Chinese OEM to offer these advanced foldable technologies.

The report further notes that even Xiaomi and vivo will use Samsung Display-supplied panels for their upcoming foldables. For the unaware, TCL CSOT provided foldable and external screens for Xiaomi’s first foldable smartphone, Mi MIX Fold.

The forthcoming Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is said to arrive with an 8.01-inch OLED foldable panel with UTG from Samsung Display. However, the external 6.52-inch OLED screen will be from TCL CSOT.

Lastly, vivo will use a Samsung Display panel for the internal screen and a BOE panel for the external screen. Whereas, Huawei scrapped its plans to use Samsung Display panels earlier this year and went with BOE instead. Honor is also expected to use BOE.

Back in September, a Xiaomi smartphone codenamed Zizhan appeared in MIUI code. Almost three months later, this device has now made its appearance in the IMEI database. Although the listing does not say much about the phone, there’s a chance that it could be a foldable.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi Zizhan has been added to the IMEI database. The handset will arrive with model number 22061218C.

Going by its model number, the device could go official in June 2022. Further, it will be most likely a China-exclusive phone as other regional variants have not been listed so far.

Xaomiui says that this handset could be a foldable smartphone. The Telegram channel suggests that the device could go official as Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. Unfortunately, there’s no further information on this product.

Earlier this year, Xiaomi launched its first-ever foldable smartphone in the form of Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold. It is sold exclusively in China like the Mi 11 Pro.

Although the company has not shared the number of units sold, it continuously works on improving the phone’s software. This suggests that there are clearly an acceptable number of users providing regular feedback.

In fact, the Mi MIX Fold recently became the Xiaomi device to receive a MIUI system update with the longest changelog to date.

Hence, there could be a successor of this handset in 2023, given Xiaomi’s dedication towards the current-gen model.
