Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is here to take on the Galaxy Z Fold 4

The Mix Fold 2 has a sleeker design than last year and is lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and has a 50MP Sony IMX766 lens at the back. Last year saw the introduction of the Mix Fold - Xiaomi's first foldable - and the Chinese manufacturer is building on that with the Mix Fold 2. Xiaomi hasn't changed the overall design too much, but made key tweaks to the structure of the Mix Fold 2 to make it lighter and thinner than its predecessor. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 only manages to be 14.2-15.8mm when closed, and 6.3mm unfolded. Under the hood, you'll find Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 - same as the best Android phones - along with a 4500mAh battery that charges at 67W. Xiaomi is offering the Mix Fold 2 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for the base variant, and there are 512GB and even a 1TB model available. With the 12GB/256GB version debuting for RMB 8,999, the Mix Fold 2 undercuts the Z Fold 4 by a significant amount, but Xiaomi's foldable is unlikely to debut outside China. Xiaomi didn't launch the Mix Fold outside the country last year, and it hasn't said anything about a global launch for the Mix Fold 2.
