So how was Xiaomi able to achieve this feat? First, the tech company simplified many things which started from the hinge technology to the material used in the production. Lighter yet sophisticated materials were used.
According to Xiaomi, the enhanced materials used made the hinge 35% lighter and decreased the thickness of the device by 25%. The tech company adopted a design called “micro waterdrop”. This hinge design helped Xiaomi to achieve the desired screen with less crease.
Aside from the design, Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 5G chipset. The battery capacity is expected to be 4,500 mAh with up to a 67W fast charge. Around the back are triple rear cameras that for now are unspecified.
