- Xiaomi has announced the Mi Mix Fold.
- It features a Galaxy Fold-style form factor.
- The foldable features a Snapdragon 888 chipset and a 5,020mAh battery.
We’ve seen loads of rumors and leaks pointing to the imminent arrival of Xiaomi’s first commercially available foldable phone, and the company has finally shown off the device during a live-streamed event.
The new foldable phone is dubbed the Mi Mix Fold and adopts a Samsung Galaxy Fold-style in-folding design. That means you’ve got a 8.01-inch OLED main screen (2,480 x 1,860, HDR10+, Dolby Vision) when folded out, as well as a smartphone-sized 6.52-inch 90Hz display on the outside when the device is folded (complete with punch-hole cutout). Xiaomi also claims the phone screen can be folded one million times.
Xiaomi’s new foldable sports a Snapdragon 888 SoC, 67W charging, as well as a 5,020mAh battery. The latter makes it the biggest battery in a foldable phone to date.
In terms of photography chops, the new phone sports a 108MP main camera (delivering nona-binning), a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and an 8MP lens. The latter uses liquid lens technology for the first time in a major phone, enabling it to offer 3X telephoto capabilities (and 30X digital zoom) as well as macro shots.
The Chinese brand is also offering a PC mode accessible with a three finger swipe, delivering a desktop-style UI and multiple windowed apps. It’s unclear if this feature will work with external screens as we’ve seen with Samsung’s Dex mode.
Xiaomi’s first foldable will retail for 9,999 yuan (~$1,521) for the 12GB/256GB variant and 10,999 yuan (~$1,674) for the 12GB/512GB option.
Xiaomi representatives previously suggested that the Mi Mix Fold was for the Chinese market, but we’ve asked whether the foldable will be coming to global markets later in 2021. We’ll update the article if/when Xiaomi gets back to us.
