The price of folding screen mobile phones is often more than 10,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than straight screen mobile phones, which leads to sales far lower than expected.
Mobile phone manufacturers still want to sell more products, the more they sell, the lower the cost, the less they sell, the less they earn, and they may even lose money, especially this high-cost flagship mobile phone.
The vice president of vivo said at the launch of vivo X Fold3 that vivo's folding screen mobile phone is selling at a loss, and the key is that the life cycle of folding screen mobile phones is only more than one year. If the new flagship chip is launched, it can only be reduced in price. Xiaomi MIX Fold2 is such a folding screen flagship with price reduction promotions,12GB+256GB version has fallen from the initial price of 8999 yuan to the current 5482 yuan,12GB+1TB version has fallen from 11999 yuan to 6231 yuan,The highest has fallen to 5768 yuan,You can buy a 16GB+1TB version of Xiaomi 14 Pro at this price。
Xiaomi MIX Fold2 was released by Lei Jun himself, and it is also a folding screen flagship recognized by rice fans.
At present, there are three folding screen mobile phones on the market, such as folding outside, opening and closing left and right, and opening and closing up and down, and the Glory V Purse wallet mobile phone is folded outside, and the price just released by Nubia is only 2999 yuanFlip is folded up and down, and Xiaomi MIX Fold2 belongs to the left and right folds.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold2 has the best screen, with the strongest flagship chip, and Leica Image.
The outer screen is a 6.56-inch Samsung AMOLED flexible vertical screen with E5 light-emitting material with 2520x1080 resolution, and the surface is covered with Corning Gorilla Victus Glass.
The main screen is an 8.02-inch 2160x1914 resolution 2K ultra-clear AMOLED screen, which is also a Samsung screen, and the surface is covered with OTG glass.
Since they are all E5 Samsung AMOLED screens, both the outer screen and the main screen support a 120Hz refresh rate and 1000nit full-screen brightness.
The folding screen mobile phone is actually a smart phone composed of two screens, the outer screen is a straight-screen mobile phone, and it is an 8-inch tablet computer after unfolding, and the external screen is mainly used for daily use, and the large screen is mainly used for office, browsing, and games, and the look and experience brought by the large screen is also incomparable to the external screen. However, the large screen is often folded, and creases will inevitably occur, and the reason why netizens are reluctant to choose folding screen mobile phones is one of the main reasons.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold2 uses a self-developed micro-teardrop-shaped hinge to minimize the impact of folding, with slighter creases and a thinner body. The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold2 is 11.2mm thick when folded and weighs 262g.
This thickness and weight are indeed far behind the folding screen phones launched this year, but at that time they were already thin and light flagships. In addition, Xiaomi MIX Fold2, which is close to "half price" sales, still cares about these problems?
In terms of performance, it is equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chip, which is the flagship chip launched by Qualcomm and one of the classic god U. Also equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 are Xiaomi 12s, Xiaomi 12s Pro and other mobile phones, all of which are rare hits.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 is manufactured using TSMC's 4nm process, and the Antutu running score exceeds 1.1 million, and there is no problem with smooth use for four or five years.
Battery life is also one of the most difficult problems to solve for folding screen mobile phones, 8-inch large screens need large batteries to provide power, foldable screen mobile phones need to be lighter and thinner in order to be popular, which leads to folding screen mobile phones can only reduce battery capacity, sacrificing battery life, Xiaomi MIX Fold2 is still good, at least 4500mAh battery, able to use normally for a day.
The 67W wired fast charging can be charged from 1% to 100% in 40 minutes, solving the battery life anxiety of large-screen mobile phones.
In terms of imaging, the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold2 has a Leica triple camera on the rear, the main camera is Sony IMX766, the sensor size is 1/1.56 inch, the aperture is F1.8, and it supports OIS optical image stabilization.
8-million-pixel telephoto camera with F2.6 aperture, 45mm-equivalent focal length, and Dual PD focusing.
13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with F2.4 aperture and 15mm-equivalent focal length.
Summary: There is indeed a gap between the configuration of Xiaomi MIX Fold2 and the new folding screen mobile phones released this year, but Xiaomi MIX Fold2 has a price advantage, such a low price, it can be said that it is really fragrant. Besides, the performance of the Xiaomi MIX Fold2 is not outdated, the screen is still Samsung's 2K screen, and there is also a Leica image. It's not too late to get started.
