Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold4: the all-round foldable phone
It is reported that Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will be equipped with Xiaomi Jinshajiang three-dimensional special-shaped battery. This design is specially tailored for folding screen mobile phones to improve space utilization and battery capacity.
According to official information, Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will be equipped with a large-capacity battery of 5100mAh, which is the best capacity among foldable screen mobile phones.
Xiaomi Jinshajiang's three-dimensional special-shaped battery not only improves space utilization by 9%, but also adds an additional 260mAh of power.
This improvement enables Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 to achieve an amazing battery life of 1.47 days in the comprehensive DOU (the time required for the battery to be fully charged to exhausted in standby mode) test, challenging the title of “the longest battery life for large foldable devices”.
Compared with the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 released last year, the latter uses a 4800mAh Xiaomi Surge battery and supports 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
On this basis, Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 has further improved the battery capacity and charging technology, supporting 50W wireless charging and two-way satellite communication, allowing users to enjoy longer battery life and more convenient charging experience in daily use.
In addition to the advancement of battery technology, Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 also performs well in other configurations. The thickness of this phone is about 9.47mm, the weight is about 226g, it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor, and supports 5.5G and Tiantong satellite communications.
The rear Leica optical Summilux quad-camera system, including a 50-megapixel OV50E main camera, an OV13B ultra-wide-angle lens, an OV60A portrait lens (2X), and an S5K3K1 ultra-thin periscope telephoto lens (5X), can meet users' shooting needs in different scenarios.
In addition, Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold 4 also has IPX8 waterproof function, which further improves the durability of the phone. The addition of side fingerprint recognition and X-axis motor also makes the operation experience of this phone smoother and more convenient.
Xiaomi Mi MIX Flip
Xiaomi MIX Flip is equipped with the current mainstream flagship processor – Snapdragon 8Gen3. Currently, the processors equipped in small folding phones are mainly Snapdragon 8+ and Dimensity 9200. There is a clear gap with Snapdragon 8Gen3, and the cost is also much higher.
In addition, Xiaomi is also equipped with UFS 4.0 and LPDDR5X flagship storage, which ensures smooth operation. In terms of heat dissipation, it is also equipped with a new 3D step heat dissipation VC. The specific effect will have to wait for subsequent actual testing.
As you can see, Xiaomi MIX Flip is completely flagship-level in terms of performance, without any reduction. This time, Xiaomi's price may not be lower than 5,999 yuan.
The battery life issue has also been resolved this time. Xiaomi MIX Flip is equipped with a 4780mAh large battery and 67W wireless fast charging. With the small screen, the battery life will be very good. This battery combination is also the best among small folding phones.
The author believes that the essence of the small foldable is the outer screen. If the degree of completion of the outer screen can meet the needs of a day's use without opening the inner screen, then this small foldable is a success.
The external screen of Xiaomi MIX Flip is 4.01 inches, with a resolution equivalent to 1.5K, a global brightness of 1600nit, and an equal-depth four-curved shape. The surface of the screen is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass.
A highlight of this small folding phone is that the outer screen has a micro-slit earpiece and an independent microphone is hinged out. You don't need to unfold the inner screen to realize the earpiece + microphone of the independent outer screen, and you can make calls without flipping it open.
There are also smart partitions, a full-size keyboard, full-screen photography and other functions, and it is compatible with 200 commonly used applications. There are also many interesting ways to play, such as a cute pet lock screen.
In addition, the Xiaomi MIX Flip's dual camera is equipped with a Leica optical Summilux large aperture lens, supports telephoto macro, and with a large external screen, it can achieve a perfect selfie effect.
The hardware of Xiaomi MIX Flip is currently the best in its class, with performance and battery life at the same level as mainstream flagship phones, and the huge external screen also makes it more playable.
The only suspense is the price of Xiaomi MIX Flip. The price of general small folding phones has basically reached 5,000 yuan, and most of them are concentrated at a starting price of 5,999 yuan. Xiaomi's hardware costs are so high, will the high price affect sales?
