Xiaomi after releasing the Xiaomi 12 series a few months back now has a couple of other flagship phones in the pipeline. There’s the much-leaked Xiaomi 12 Ultra and then there’s the MIX FOLD series, although a tipster now says that one of the models from the bunch will be skipped this year.
The Xiaomi MIX series caters to the enthusiast market and as such offers experimental, bleeding-edge tech. It currently comprises the more conventional phone design in the form of the MIX series and the newer foldable lineup sold under the MIX FOLD series. The last model from the former was the Xiaomi MIX 4 from August 2021 but tipster Ice Universe has revealed that its successor will not be launched this year, contrary to many previous reports.
Xiaomi will be focusing solely on the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 instead, which according to leaks will be the world’s first foldable phone with a 360° hinge, meaning the device can be folded in both directions.
It’s also reported that the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 is expected to be launched in June this year, carrying model number 22061218C. Codenamed zizhan, it will only be available in China, as has been the case lately with every MIX offering. The phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and adopts a 2.5K LTPO high refresh rate internal screen.
A better aspect ratio for the external screen is expected along with an improved, less-visible crease. Crease-less foldable phones seem to be smartphone OEM’s biggest fixation this year. A trend first started with the OPPO Find N, we should be seeing even more foldables with smoother inside displays.
