Xiaomi introduces the MIX Fold 2 as the thinnest foldable yet
The first foldable with LEICA imaging system
If motorola wants to rival Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip4 with the all-new moto razr 2022, Xiaomi steps it up even further with the MIX Fold 2 — just announced a day after the launch of its direct contender, the Galaxy Z Fold4.
The thinnest foldable (yet)
(UPDATE: the Huawei Mate X3 now holds the record for being the slimmest)
Measuring at just 5.4mm when unfolded and 11.2mm at its thickest point, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 might just be the thinnest foldable yet. For context, the Galaxy Z Fold4 measures around 6.3mm when it’s open and 15.8mm when closed. The trick though is that the Xiaomi foldable is just one gram lighter than its Samsung counterpart.

That being said, it has a design that’s sleek and elegant to the touch. There’s the Gorilla Glass Victus glass protection in front. Meanwhile, the inside display has Schott’s UTG flexible glass.

Xiaomi also has its own hinge design with a teadrop-like inward curvature that makes less display creases and no visible hinge gaps. Along with the use of carbon fiber instead of steel, display improvements, and custom hinge mechanism processes, Xiaomi is able to achieve a slimmer device unparalleled to other existing foldables in the market today.
Consistent audiovisual experience
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 pioneers its 8.02-inch 2K+ Eco² OLED LTPO 2.0 display. For those unaware, it’s a new type of OLED display that’s thinner and eliminates the use of polarizer — which results to an overall brighter screen.

When folded shut, the MIX Fold 2 has a 6.56-inch Full HD+ AMOLED cover display with a proper 21:9 aspect ratio. That’s 0.4-inches bigger than last year’s 6.52-inch-touting Mi Mix Fold.
Again for stark comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold4 has smaller displays at 6.2 and a 7.6-inches respectively. This explains why they have the same weight despite the MIX Fold 2 being so thin.

Both displays have 120Hz refresh rates, an 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio, plus support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and DCI-P3 wide color gamut. Lastly, it has dual stereo speakers tuned by harman/kardon with Dolby Atmos support as well as Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certification.
The ultimate powerhouse
Just like any 2022 flagship, the MIX Fold 2 is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset coupled with a 12GB LPDDR5 memory plus options between 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage configurations. For faster internet speeds, it supports both 5G connectivity as well as the new Wi-Fi 6 standard.

For better cooling and heat dissipation, Xiaomi has supplied the MIX Fold 2 a Vapor Cooling chamber based on boron nitride white graphene. This improves the phone’s thermal conductivity by 33%.

It also has a slightly bigger battery than the Z Fold4 at 4500mAh — but a downgrade from Mi Mix Fold’s 5020mAh, though. Still, it supports fast 67W turbo charging with a full-charge taking just around 40 minutes. Xiaomi says the MIX Fold 2 can last for up to 1.15 days. Unfortunately, no wireless charging functionality was indicated.
LEICA superiority
The flagship foldable experience would not be complete without a great set of cameras. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 rocks a 50MP f/1.8 Sony IMX766 main image sensor with a 7P lens, sensor size of 1/1.56-inches, and pixel size of 2.0μm.
That’s the same sensor used in recent devices like the ASUS Zenfone 9, Nothing Phone (1), ROG Phone 6 series, and the OnePlus 10T.

Other than that, it also rocks a 13MP f/2.4 ultra-wide angle lens with a 123-degree viewing angle. Lastly, an 8MP f/2.6 2x telephoto zoom lens. As some of you are wondering, it only has a single 20MP front camera at the cover display. The inner display still doesn’t have its own front camera.

To make it a whole lot better, Xiaomi has also incorporated their new LEICA partnership with lens coatings as well as new software features that made its debut on the Xiaomi 12S Ultra a while back.
Pricing and Availability
The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is available in two colorways: Moon Shadow Black and Star Gold.

It’s currently on-sale in China with the following prices and configuration:
- 12GB + 256GB = CNY 8999 (US$ 1333 / S$ 1834 / ₱74,180 )
- 12GB + 512GB = CNY 9999 (US$ 1481 / S$ 2038 / ₱82,424 )
- 12GB + 1TB = CNY 11,999 (US$ 1777 / S$ 2445 / ₱98,910 )
This shows that the MIX Fold 2 is a lot cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold4 both in China (CNY 13,999 / 14,999 / 16,999) as well as outside the Mainland (US$ 1999 / S$ 2398 / ₱98,990).
And just like last year, it’s only currently available in China with no word about global availability.
Computex 2026
GIGABYTE to focus on end-to-end AI infrastructure, deployment at COMPUTEX 2026
Showcase to highlight how production AI is implemented, used on real-world scenarios
GIGABYTE has announced its showcase for COMPUTEX 2026, centering on the theme “Future Landing.”
Moving away from conceptual AI training models, the company’s exhibit next month will focus strictly on the immediate implementation, scaling, and real-world operation of production AI infrastructure.
According to the company, the exhibit addresses a major industry shift: the transition of AI from development phases into large-scale inference and physical operation.
Visitors can expect an interactive breakdown of the AI infrastructure lifecycle, structured into three distinct zones: Ready, Deployable, and Happening.
The “Ready” phase highlights fully validated systems simulated at GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), the company’s dedicated facility in Taiwan.
To demonstrate rapid scalability, the “Deployable” section will feature modular, prefabricated infrastructure units that integrate compute, cooling, and power, all managed via the proprietary GIGABYTE Pod Manager (GPM) software.
Lastly, the “Happening” zone will showcase live, practical applications of physical AI and localized healthcare inference. Attendees can observe a live “real-to-sim-to-real” automation pipeline showing how AI models move from virtual simulation into active robotic systems.
GIGABYTE will also demonstrate point-of-care medical AI running locally, including real-time polyp detection and bone marrow analysis.
In addition to the primary enterprise infrastructure booth (first floor), GIGABYTE will operate a secondary exhibit on the fourth floor.
This dedicated space will showcase edge and end-user applications, specifically highlighting its AI TOP series. This demonstrates how the company’s hardware scales down from massive data center architectures to deskside deployments.
The GIGABYTE booths can be visited from June 2 to 5, 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1):
- 1F K0802 (Enterprise)
- 4F M0520 (Consumer)

Xiaomi has officially launched its Mi.com online store in the Philippines. This standalone website offers a more direct and centralized shopping experience, as Xiaomi has shifted away from third-party marketplaces.

- Launch-Exclusive Vouchers: 10% off coupons on selected inventory, tiered discounts based on total purchase value
