What we like about Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Incredibly thin and lightweight design compared to competitors, making it feel more like a regular phone when folded.
  • Superb 8.02-inch inner and 6.56-inch 21:9 aspect ratio cover OLED screens with 120Hz refresh rates are vibrant and high-quality.
  • Top-tier performance from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, with no lag or overheating during daily use and gaming.
  • Reliable all-day battery life and efficient 67W wired fast charging (charger included in the box).
  • Main 50MP camera (Sony IMX766 sensor) produces excellent, detailed photos in good lighting and competent low-light shots with good color accuracy thanks to Leica tuning.
  • Solid build quality and a smooth, gapless hinge mechanism when closed.
  • Good stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
  • Rich retail bundle that often includes a premium case and a 3.5mm dongle.
  • Supports Google services (GMS) after simple adjustments in settings for imported models.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (12GB + 512GB)

  • The device is officially only available in China, requiring international users to import it without an official warranty.
  • MIUI Fold 13 software is considered less mature and feature-rich compared to competitors like Samsung's One UI, with issues in app continuity and multitasking gestures (e.g., no horizontal split-screen).
  • The hinge does not allow the screen to stay open at a specific angle (no 'Flex Mode'), limiting use cases like hands-free video calls or laptop mode without a special case.
  • Lack of any IP rating for water or dust resistance, a significant omission for a premium-priced phone.
  • No wireless charging support, a feature present on many competing flagship devices.
  • Camera performance is considered average for its high price point; specifically, the 2x optical telephoto zoom is limited, and the ultra-wide lens can have inconsistent color with the main sensor.
  • No selfie camera on the inner, foldable screen.
  • The screen crease in the middle of the main display is visible and can be felt.
  • Potential notification delays with default settings on the Chinese ROM due to aggressive battery management.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (12GB + 512GB) is a flagship foldable smartphone defined by its incredibly slim design, measuring just 5.4mm when unfolded, and a sophisticated Leica-branded triple-camera system. Its core specifications feature a powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, a vibrant 8.02-inch 120Hz LTPO 2.0 inner display, and a 6.56-inch AMOLED cover screen. Pros include the cutting-edge form factor, high-end display technology, and fast performance. However, potential cons involve its limited global availability (primarily a China-exclusive model), relatively small 4500mAh battery compared to some competitors, and the absence of an official IP rating for water resistance.
