Xiaomi launched its first smartphone that folds, Mi Mix Fold, in March of this year. It was only available in China and did not make it to other markets, including India. The maker of smartphones is currently developing an Mi Mix Fold successor and plans to include the identical Samsung screen that was utilized on the Oppo Find N – another phone that hasn’t yet launched in India as of yet.
The phone has already been to a few testing centers that suggests it could be it could be the Mi Mix Fold 2 might launch in the middle of 2022. Xiaomi has yet to announce any details about the phone however, we can be sure that it’s not limited to the China market, as was the case with the Mi Mix Fold predecessor.
The brand new Mix Fold phone is likely to have a Samsung-designed internal folding screen with Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) over the top, just like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold 3 and Oppo Find N. The UTG guarantees high-performance and flexibility through the injection of special materials into a piece of glass that is only 30 microns thick when processed and much thinner than conventional display glass for smartphones.
The thinness of the display allows manufacturers of smartphones to utilize I as the screen that can fold. This isn’t as durable like Gorilla Glass, which doesn’t fold however it does provide some security.
The way it’s implemented can differ between Samsung as well as Oppo. Samsung foldable phones feature an obvious crease that runs across the screen and Oppo has been able to remove the crease by using a different hinge.
Mi Mix Fold 2 from Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold 2 is expected to sport an 8.1-inch screen with a high refresh rate. It could support a an optimum refresh rate at 120Hz. Other than that the hinge of the Mix Fold 2 is said to be revamped and upgraded in comparison to the predecessor’s.
