Explore the Next
Generation of Ultra Slim Foldables with Xiaomi MIX Fold 2
Beijing, CHINA, August 12, 2022 - Xiaomi today
revealed its advanced foldable flagship smartphone, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, at a new
product launch event in Mainland China, alongside the highly-anticipated annual
speech of Lei Jun, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is a giant
technological leap in the ultra-slim foldable smartphone space. Measuring just
5.4mm¹ unfolded, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 offers a consistent viewing experience on
both its inner and outer displays. Additionally, it delivers an authentic Leica
imagery experience and outstanding power efficiency with the latest Snapdragon®
8+ Gen 1 mobile platform.
In addition to Xiaomi MIX Fold 2,
Xiaomi also announced Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro, Redmi K50 Ultra, and a host of
ecosystem products.
Self-developed Micro Waterdrop Hinge
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 boasts a
revolutionary design. It is one of the thinnest foldable smartphones on the
market with a folded body just 11.2mm¹ thin—significantly slimmer than many
other foldable devices. Both edges measure just only 5.4mm¹ unfolded, offering
a pleasant in-hand feel experience.
To achieve these breakthroughs in
form factor, Xiaomi focused on refining the hinge – the core component of the
foldable smartphone. Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is equipped with a self-developed Micro
Waterdrop Hinge which features a smaller bending radius, thinner screen
modules, customized mini rotating hinge, and utilized an integrated solder-free
precision process to create a carbon fiber double-wing floating panel.
Together, these highly integrated components reduced the number of parts to
only 87, enabling a lighter and thinner hinge design than ever before.
In addition, both sides of the hinge
use space stacking technology, and use large hidden spaces on both sides of the
hinge for soft boards, achieving a 20% increase in space utilization and
thereby offering the 5.4mm¹ flat design with balanced weight distribution.
Two displays, one exceptional viewing
experience
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 sports an inner
folding design, with two AMOLED flagship screens of two different sizes on two
respective sides. The outer display adopts a 21:9 classic ratio design,
allowing for excellent compatibility with most applications and taking into
account user experience when handling. The 6.56" display features Samsung
E5 material, a resolution of 2520x1080, and supports 120Hz high refresh rate
and P3 color gamut, with a brightness of up to 1000nit–giving it an edge over
other common displays thanks to its outstanding user experience.
On the inside Xiaomi MIX Fold 2
flaunts an 8.02" Samsung Eco² OLED display. It adopts POL-LESS technology,
replaces the traditional polarizer with an ultra-thin color filter, and uses a
black matrix material to reduce reflection on the screen. Compared to traditional
displays, light transmittance has been increased by 33%, with power consumption
reduced by 25%. This screen has a resolution of 2160x1914, supports P3 color
gamut and LTPO 2.0 1-120Hz AdaptiveSync Pro. The ultra-low anti-AR film allows
the display to reduce reflectivity to less than 2%, resulting in more detailed
viewing experience and pleasing aesthetics.
The two displays offer an
exceptionally consistent user experience, both supporting 120Hz refresh rate,
professional screen calibration on primary colors, 1,000nit brightness and
Dolby Vision. Regardless of which screen is used, the device supports dual
ambient light sensing on the front and back, providing for natural and smooth
automatic brightness adjustment.
MIUI Fold 13, the new standard for
foldable displays
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 runs on the latest
MIUI Fold 13 operating system. Developed as a permutation of the classic MIUI
interface, it is perfectly adapted to foldable form factor, with screen
interaction optimizations offering advancements in user experience.
The smart screen desktop design
adapts to the foldable display and doubles the viewing area of the smartphone.
As well as maintaining visual consistency, it allows for the hundreds of
available MIUI widgets to be used without deformation, increasing both aesthetics
and usability.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 system applications
are customized for its large screen, and a large number of app interfaces have
been redesigned for a better on-screen experience. Calendar, file management,
voice recorder, notes, and other applications apply a new column design to take
full advantage of the large screen. Third-party application adaptation will be
conducted according to solutions available in Android 12L, providing more
native support capability for third-party apps.
Additional Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 innovations
include updates in smart screen interaction. Users can now three finger swipe
to split screen. Floating windows can be quickly accessed through the sidebar,
which can also be used to exit split screen mode. The design of floating
windows and notifications has also been adjusted, and multitasking on a
smartphone has never been quite this efficient.
Authentic Leica Imagery, dual-quality
approach
Xiaomi has set a new imaging standard
for smartphone photography, combining Leica’s imagery expertise with Xiaomi’s
rich experience in the field of computational photography.
To ensure optical excellence, Xiaomi
MIX Fold 2 is equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX766 main camera, with 7P lenses
all using ALD low-reflection coating. Also featured are a 13MP ultra-wide angle
camera and a 8MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and portrait
capabilities.
In addition to the Leica-certified
Summicron lens, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 offers access to two photographic styles: The
"Leica Authentic Look" and "Leica Vibrant Look", both
offering enhanced creative freedom to the photographer.
With the Xiaomi ProFocus support,
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 offers fast camera startup, quick captures, and continuous
shooting support up to 30 frames per second.
In regards to video, Xiaomi MIX Fold
2 supports Dolby Vision HDR recording, as well as both Dolby Vision and Dolby
Atmos for video viewing. Videos shot on Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 will look amazing,
particularly when utilizing UGC platforms which support Dolby Vision, allowing
users to share exceptional visuals online.
Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 and flagship
performance packed in an ultra-slim body
In addition to its revolutionary thin
and light foldable screen design, Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 takes advantage of the
latest Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform for snappy performance.
TSMC's 4nm manufacturing process enables a significant increase in energy
efficiency while integrating tens of billions of transistors, into an area the
size of a fingernail. The advanced process allows both CPU and GPU to receive a
10% boost in performance, while simultaneously improving CPU and GPU energy
consumption by 30%. This upgraded design allows the ultra-slim smartphone to
maintain higher speeds and efficiency at the same time.
Excellent power efficiency allows for
a long lasting battery, with a full day of use being possible even when the
inner screen is frequently used, with extended use when using primarily the
outer display.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 also packs a
cooling system equipped with a large-area VC, rarely seen on foldable
smartphones. The high-quality VC offers a surface area of up to 2,520mm²,
enabling 50% improvement in thermal conductivity compared to typical VCs. The
inner layer of the battery is covered with second-generation boron nitride heat
dissipation film, with an area of up to 3715mm². Finally, multi-layer
high-density graphite sheet creates a solid foundation for Xiaomi MIX Fold 2’s
excellent sustained performance.
Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro – work and
entertainment with a 12.4" large display
Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro features a large
12.4" display, which users can fully utilize for a highly efficient and
convenient experience in both work and entertainment scenarios.
The 12.4" high-quality display
features an ultra-high resolution of 2560x1600, 120Hz high refresh rate, and
hardware-level blue light reduction, providing a comfortable and smooth
experience for video-watching and swift multitasking on split-screens. Xiaomi
Pad 5 Pro's built-in conference mode can convert speech into text in real time,
quickly distinguish between different speakers, and supports real-time
translation between Chinese and English.
Redmi K50 Ultra – an all-round
upgrade
Joining the beloved Redmi K50 Series
is Redmi K50 Ultra. With large-scale upgrades in performance, display, camera
and charging, Redmi K50 Ultra takes product and user experience to the next
level.
Redmi K50 features the latest
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform and a 1.5K flatscreen display. The
smartphone's triple camera consists of a 100MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide
angle camera and 2MP telephoto camera, enhanced by implementing numerous Xiaomi
AI Image solutions. The combination of advanced software and hardware allow
Redmi K50 Ultra to significantly improve the quality of images. Furthermore,
the combination of a 5,000mAh battery and 120W HyperCharge technology ensures
hassle free daily use with as short as 19 mins needed for a full charge.²
Also announced today was Redmi K50
Ultra Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team Summer Edition. Adding on to the
ultimate performance of the standard Redmi K50 Ultra, it incorporates the
team's signature silver, petroleum green lines, and carbon fiber textures into
