Xiaomi is launching a new foldable smartphone, the Mix Fold 2, on August 11 in China.
In an announcement post on Weibo, Xiaomi hinted that this is the phone that will bring foldable phones into the practical era, but there were no details on its specifications. The accompanying image reveals little other than the fact that the phone is indeed foldable and that it will take advantage of Xiaomi’s partnership 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.

The original Fold had monstrous specs, with a top-of-the-line Snapdragon processor, 108-megapixel camera and 12/16GB of RAM, so it’s reasonable to expect the Mix Fold 2 to follow in those footsteps.
The launch date of the new phone is definitely noteworthy. Motorola plans to launch its foldable Razr 2022 on the same day, and Samsung is launching its new Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Z Fold devices just a day earlier. That means we’re getting at least four new foldable smartphones within two days — though only Samsung’s new devices will be globally available, at least initially.
