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.
The POVA 8 Pro 5G was unveiled not too long ago. This time, TECNO is giving it a different kind of makeover.
Stealthy makeover
TECNO officially launches the all-new POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition as a consumer-ready smartphone.
ICYMI, this collaboration was first teased and introduced at MWC 2026 last March as a multi-year partnership between the two brands.
This limited edition model uses a black-and-red color scheme inspired by Tonino Lamborghini. The rear panel has an incorporated hexagonal pattern and uses a dual-layer construction with internal mirror structures that reflect light as the phone moves.
At the center is what TECNO calls the Pulse Line that’s surrounded by a Signature Shield pattern. A metallic Tonino Lamborghini logo completes the design.
The design extends to the software too with its customized black-and-red interface, redesigned icons, a dedicated boot animation, as well as a bespoke ringtone. There’s even a customized “L” signature for the Alive Matrix Display.
Despite the redesign, it remains recognizable as a POVA device, including its trinity camera module and side-mounted One-Tap Button for launching any specific apps, gaming actions, and shortcuts.
Undoubtedly POVA
Just like the regular TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G model, the Limited Edition Tonino Lamborghini also rocks a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G SoC paired with TECNO’s own P1 Graphic Chip.
The latter handles some of the GPU workload — with TECNO claiming up to 144fps in supported games such as MLBB (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang), PUBG, CoDM (Call of Duty: Mobile), and HOK (Honor of Kings).
For heavier games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves, TECNO says the phone can reach up a frame rate of 90fps.
Speaking of, the display is neither a slouch.
It features a 6.78-inch HyperLux 144Hz AMOLED display with DCI-P3 wide color gamut and up to 4500 nits of peak brightness.
The phone also supports 1.5K resolution across more than 30 games, with HDR available where supported.
It’s truly gaming-friendly with its 240Hz touch sampling rate and instantaneous touch sampling of up to 2800Hz.
TECNO has even added Wet & Oily Finger Touch Recognition 2.0. This is designed to keep the screen responsive even when your fingers are wet, sweaty, or oily.
That front display is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 7i backed by quadruple IP69/69K/68/66 ratings plus an SGS 5-Star Drop Resistance certification.
Keeping all that hardware from getting too hot is a 5,000mm² vapor chamber and nine-layer thermal architecture. The brand says the entire cooling system provides more than 22,000mm² of heat dissipation area.
For photo shooting, the main camera uses Sony’s 1/1.56-inch LYTIA 700C (LYT-700C) sensor with OIS. This particular sensor was chosen for better light capture and autofocus performance, particularly in difficult lighting conditions.
The camera setup also supports 2× lossless zoom and a dedicated 50MP mode. An 8MP ultra-wide and 13MP selfie camera complete the setup.
With a slim form factor of just 7.39mm, this phone was still able to pack a 6500mAh battery. They say the battery can operate normally between -20°C and 60°C and retain more than 80 percent of its capacity after 2000 full charge cycles.
More than just hardware
The POVA 8 Pro Tonino Lamborghini Edition runs the latest HiOS 16 based on Android 16 with AI features baked in such as
- AI YouTube Summary
- All-Scenario Noise Cancellation
- AI Lightmaster 2.0
- AI Writing
- AI Theme Generator
In select markets, TECNO is also offering AI Health. This can estimate metrics like blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, and respiration just with a face scan. Though it’s worth noting that this feature is only for reference and isn’t a medical device.
Lastly, TECNO promises two major Android OS upgrades as well as three years worth of security updates.
Pricing and Availability
The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition only comes in this lone exclusive colorway.
TECNO didn’t announce specific pricing as of writing although it will be available in three configurations:
- 8+256GB
- 12+256GB
- 12+512GB
When you purchase this device though, it comes with three years of free 256GB cloud storage. Select markets also get a three-month Google AI Plus trial with 2TB of cloud storage.
UGREEN has expanded its MagFlow lineup with three new wireless charging products. The range now covers portable power, desktop charging, and travel.
All three support Qi2 25W charging. UGREEN also focuses on thermal management to keep charging cooler and more consistent.
A cooler power bank
The highlight is the UGREEN MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 25W. UGREEN calls it the world’s first liquid-cooled Qi2 25W magnetic power bank.
It uses UGREEN’s CryoPulse technology. A micro-pump circulates coolant around key components to draw away heat. A Cyber Window also lets users see the cooling process in real time.
UGREEN says the system can keep peak temperatures up to 18°F below the industry benchmark. The power bank also uses Dymondcell 2.0 high-density ATL cells.
A built-in smart display shows charging power, battery level, cycle count, and cooling status. UGREEN says the power bank can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 50 percent in 40 minutes.
Charging three devices at once
The UGREEN MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand 25W targets desktop setups. It can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time.
The stand uses CryoPulse TEC active cooling and an ultra-quiet 15dB fan. Its thermoelectric cooling system draws heat away from the charging surface.
UGREEN says the center of the charging surface can reach temperatures as low as 51.8°F. It can also charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 50 percent in 26 minutes under its internal testing conditions.
The stand has an adjustable design for easier viewing. A smart display shows charging power and temperature.
A foldable charger for travel
The UGREEN MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger 25W offers dual-device charging in a compact design.
It can also work as a magnetic phone stand. Users can set it up on a desk or bedside table, or bring it along while traveling.
When folded, the charger takes on a palm-sized clamshell design that fits into a pocket or bag.
All three MagFlow products are available now.
- The MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 25W costs USD 149.99.
- The MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand 25W costs USD 159.99.
- The MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger 25W is priced at USD 59.99.
UGREEN sells all three through its official store and Amazon.
TECNO is making its MEGABOOK lineup a little more flexible.
At IFA ShowStoppers 2026, the uprising tech brand unveils the MEGABOOK T15 360 with two more laptops and three phones tagging along.
One laptop, four modes
The MEGABOOK T15 360 series is the brand’s first laptop lineup with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen display.
By that, it’s more than just a conventional laptop. It can also be a tablet or a portable display via Tent mode or Stand mode. This added feat makes everything more versatile as TECNO’s existing laptops are only limited to the clamshell form factor.
Both models feature a 15.6-inch screen with the standard 16:9 aspect ratio. As alluded earlier, it’s a touchscreen laptop consisting of 10-point multitouch points. There’s also optional MPP 2.0 active pen support if you want to write or draw directly on the display.
So what’s the difference?
Well, the regular T15 360 gets a Full HD 60Hz panel with 320 nits brightness.
Meanwhile, the Pro version takes it up a notch with a faster 120Hz refresh rate, sharper 2.5K display resolution, full 100% sRGB coverage, and higher 350 nits brightness.
Both laptops come in an all-metal chassis made using CNC machining. The convertible design doesn’t come at the expense of a more conventional laptop build.
Performance uncompromised
TECNO isn’t treating the T15 360 as a lightweight convertible that has to compromise on performance.
You can get up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, paired with an LPDDR5X RAM. The storage is based from PCIe M.2 2280 SSD — with select models having a secondary M.2 slot for utmost expansion.
There’s also a 70Wh battery plus support for a speedy 65W PD GaN charger. Connectivity includes up to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4, alongside seven built-in ports.
Practical stuff were neither forgotten. There’s a backlit keyboard with a dedicated number pad, a fingerprint reader underneath its power button, dual speakers with DTS Ultra, a webcam, and dual digital microphones.
TECNO’s OneLeap feature also rounds things out by letting the MEGABOOK work with other TECNO’s smartphones, tablets, and other PCs for cross-device collaboration.
Two more MEGABOOKs
TECNO also brought two other MEGABOOKs to IFA.
The MEGABOOK K15S WCL is the more straightforward option. It uses Intel’s newer Wildcat Lake platform with a 16:10 display, a 70Wh battery, and 65W GaN charging — all in a premium, all-metal body.
Then there’s the MEGABOOK T17 Ultra. Ultra by its name, it goes big with a massive 17.3-inch 16:9 display. It can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and LPDDR5X memory. It also features a massive 99.99Wh battery and speedy 100W GaN PD fast charging.
Wait! There’s even more…
Beyond laptops, TECNO reveals the true form of its Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone at IFA 2026.
As announced more than a month ago, this concept uses a redesigned display architecture, internal stacking, structural engineering, and screen packaging to eliminate the physical black border around the display, resulting in what TECNO calls a true 0mm display border.
Beside a phone prototype, there are two consumer-ready products as well.
The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition combines the POVA series’ performance-focused approach with Tonino Lamborghini’s design language.
It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G chipset alongside TECNO’s custom-made P1 Graphic Chip and a 5K IceShield vapor chamber cooling system. Specific details will be announced on September 4, 2026.
Meanwhile, the CAMON Slim 5G focuses on a thinner form factor, measuring just 6.39mm thick.
TECNO says it combines the CAMON line’s imaging features with AI capabilities and artistic colorways. More specifications will be revealed on September 7.
Pricing and Availability
The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series is expected to arrive in Europe by Q4 2026.
Depending on the configuration choice, the MEGABOOK T15 360 will start between EUR 899 ~ EUR 999. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Pro will cost as much as EUR 1099.
No pricing info were announced for the other MEGABOOKs and two phones as of writing.
