Reviews for the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

86.3% Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 review - A slim, foldable smartphone with a Leica camera | Notebookcheck
Xiaomi's foldable smartphone enters the second round, bringing with it powerful specs and managing to do a number of things better than the competition. Unfortunately, the Mix Fold 2 is reserved exclusively for the Chinese market. Find out in our review if it's worthwhile importing.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Display test
Source: DxOMark English
The highlight of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2’s main screen performance was its color fidelity whether viewing still content or watching videos on an unfolded display. Unlike the screen’s well-rendered colors in low light and indoors, however, the device had trouble keeping colors looking natural in bright sunlight conditions because its High Brightness Mode was making colors look flat. When watching HDR10 videos, particularly in low light, brightness levels on the screen were too low, making the content difficult to watch comfortably. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 comes with an anti-reflective film on the main screen in order to improve readability when outdoors.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Audio test
Source: DxOMark English
With a DXOMARK Audio score of 121, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 delivered an overall decent performance in our tests when compared to the smartphone market as a whole. However, the results started to look a little less impressive when considering the Mix Fold 2’s large dimensions in its unfolded state, and its high price point. Overall, Xiaomi’s latest foldable is somewhat of a missed opportunity in terms of physical implementation of speakers and microphones, as well as audio tuning. As a playback device, the Mix Fold 2 performed best when listening to music, but it was also a decent option for gaming and movie watching, thanks to sharp attack and good punch across all volume levels. Overall playback quality was fairly poor for a device at the upper end of the Ultra-Premium price bracket. The same can be said for recording, but on the plus side, most audio recordings remained intelligible in windy conditions and were fairly free of artifacts.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Review: Thin Is In (Again)
Source: MrMobile English
The last time I covered a competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy Fold folding smartphones (in the form of the Vivo X Fold) I called the Vivo “bigger and heavier, sure – but the Fold 3 is already too big for a lot of folks. So I kinda feel like this is a case of in-for-a-penny, in-for-a-pound.” Well fortunately for fans of foldables, not everyone is such an absolutist. Xiaomi has somehow found a way to stuff bigger screens than the Galaxy Fold 4 into a phone that’s thinner than the Surface Duo 2 and sleeker than any other large-format foldable. It launched in China in August; I’ve been using it in New York since October; and today I’m taking it across the country for four days covering the MediaTek Summit in Sonoma California. I’m MrMobile and this is the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 review.

80% Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 review: Gunning for the Galaxy Z Fold 4
Source: Android Central English
With the MIX Fold 2, Xiaomi has proven that it can deliver a foldable that holds its own against the best that Samsung has to offer. The large 6.56-inch cover screen combined with the thin design make the phone better to hold and use than the Z Fold 4, and the inner screen is larger at 8.02 inches. Both screens are among the best you'll find on any foldable today, and the MIX Fold 2 features the latest Qualcomm silicon, delivering incredible power in daily use. You also get flagship-tier cameras that take fabulous photos, and all-day battery life with 67W wired charging. The downside is that the MIX Fold 2 is limited to China, and it misses out on a few foldable-based software features.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 smartphone is awesome when it comes to flagship foldable smartphones. The company also improved several factors from the previous gen foldable phone and those changes are visible in Mix Fold 2 for sure. With this phone, you will attain numerous multi-tasking features and lots of other exciting things, which will help you while playing high-end games to even watching simple YouTube videos. Plus, the UI is customized to support the foldable features with great precision. Furthermore, the crack is not that visible on the foldable screen, while at the same time, the company tries a refreshed design layout that makes this phone more attractive and premium. For an alternative option, you can check the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. On the surface level, the specs are almost identical and have an equal share of flaws.

82% Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 review
Source: GSM Arena English
And, finally, the video capturing experience was disappointing - both in quality and stabilization terms. Xiaomi usually offers close to excellent video recording experience on its flagship smartphones, and it's beyond us what happened for this Mix Fold 2. So, the Mix Fold 2 is a great foldable device and a good smartphone. We are sure it will find fans across China as it is a country where sometimes software means more than hardware, and MIUI has the upper hand. It is not the best foldable, that's for sure, but it is the thinnest one. And our verdict is quite simple - if you like it, you buy it as it's a worthy device. If its imperfections bother you - look elsewhere. But if you don't live in China, or nearby, we can't in good conscience recommend gray importing it - not like we did the Ultra models. Foldables break a lot more often than regular phones. And if this Mix Fold 2 does crack, you will end up with one fancy paperweight with nowhere to service it.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 Review: Setting a new standard for the foldable form factor
Source: XDA Developers English
Finally, should you buy the Mix Fold 2? If this phone was sold globally and was available in your market, I’d say a definitive yes. But because most readers will have to import, this becomes much trickier. Importing will add at least a couple hundred dollars to the $1,300-ish retail price, and you won’t get any warranty, not to mention the game of chance you will play getting full network coverage in your region due to missing bands. In that situation, most buyers are better off getting the Z Fold 4 or hoping Xiaomi launches this globally later. With that said, however, there are phone enthusiasts who would import this in a heartbeat. A former colleague at XDA imported one. I know two people in Singapore who have. And I would import this too if Xiaomi hadn’t given me access to a review device. But we are a very niche group: foldable enthusiasts. Even if most of you reading this will not buy this device, it’s still great that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 exists because it shows consumers what is possible. Maybe Samsung can get away with its thicker design for another year due to a lack of competition globally.

Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 Review: Enough For Everything

Of course, the significance of MIX Fold 2 is much more than that. Its birth has pointed out the direction for a number of domestic mobile phone manufacturers who are good at learning. I believe that it will not be long before we see more excellent and practical folding screen mobile phone products.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8+ Gen 1: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2021 and manufactured in 4 nm at TSMC. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X2 architecture clocked at up to 3.2 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the A710 but clock up to 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6e modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5 memory with up to 3,200 MHz. 5G is now included in the chip with the Snapdragon X65 modem. Compared to the non plus version, the 8+ Gen 1 offers a 200 MHz higher clocked Prime Core and a 10% higher clocked GPU. Furthermore, it is now produced at TSMC and not Samsung.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


8.02":

Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Xiaomi:

Founded in 2010, Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese multinational electronics company and produces consumer electronics and related products, including smartphones, televisions, fitness bands, power banks, headphones, smart devices and accessories. Xiaomi offers its products under the Mi, Redmi and POCO brands.


82.22%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
