The battery on the Xiaomi Mix Fold is 5020mAh which gives the device some width. The processor on this device is the Snapdragon 888, and it ran Android 10 out of the box. These mentioned specs are just a few of which the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 will improve on at its launch.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 key specifications (rumored)
The battery on the upcoming Xiaomi Mix Fold will be smaller than that seen on the previous model. This reduction in battery size will make the Mix Fold 2 a slimmer device and also reduce its weight to come to par with the foldable competition. There will also be a notable improvement in the hinge to help make the device fold smoothly and quickly, hence giving it a snappy feel. The kind of hinge to be used is not yet known, but it’ll be lovely to see a hinge similar to that on the OPPO Find N or the Huawei Mate X2. The hinge as seen on these two foldable eliminates the presence of a crease in the folding half of the devices.
The Mix Fold 2 is codenamed “zizhan” and will use a process from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 series. The size of the screen when folded and unfolded will be similar to the previous Mix Fold. There might also be a bidirectional folding mechanism on the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 which will possibly enable the device to fold in two ways. Information regarding the pricing and availability of this device will be covered once available in a different article.
