In an announcement on Weibo, Xiaomi hints that this is the phone that will bring foldable phones into the practical era, but there are no details on its specifications. The accompanying image reveals little other than the fact that the phone is, indeed, foldable, and that it will benefit from Xiaomi’s collaboration with Leica. This phone’s predecessor, the 2021 Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold, had an 8.01-inch foldable display and an elongated 6.52-inch external display with a 27:9 aspect ratio. Rumor has it that the Mi Fold 2 will have a less unusual 21:9 external display. SEE ALSO: Motorola Razr event is back, but we already know the specs The original Fold had monster specs, with a flagship Snapdragon CPU, 108-megapixel camera and 12/16GB of RAM, so it’s reasonable to expect the Mix Fold 2 to follow in those footsteps. The release date of the new phone is definitely noteworthy. Motorola plans to release the foldable Razr 2022 on the same day, and Samsung is launching the new Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold devices just a day earlier. That means we’re getting at least four new foldable smartphones in the space of two days — though only Samsung’s new devices will be globally available, at least initially.
