Recently, two new foldables—Galaxy Samsung’s Z Fold4 and Xiaomi’s MIX Fold 2—have hit the market. Unlike Samsung, which will release the Galaxy Z Fold worldwide, Xiaomi has only released the MIX Fold 2 in China. Whether or whether the phone will be available for purchase outside the company’s native market is still up in the air. The MIX Fold 2 does reveal, however, Xiaomi’s intentions and potential offerings in the foldable market.
Both Xiaomi and Samsung’s new foldable smartphones have certain features and specs in common but stand out in their unique ways. So, let’s find out how Xiaomi’s second effort at folding devices stacks up against Samsung’s fourth-generation foldable.
In terms of design and screen, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 takes on the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 are foldable smartphones that, when opened, take on the form of a book. When folded, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is 14.2mm in thickness, while the MIX Fold 2 is just 11.2mm. The MIX Fold 2 also has a somewhat larger height and width than its predecessor, although it is about the same weight.
The Galaxy Fold4 includes a 7.6-inch QXGA+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate and HDR10+ compatibility on the inside, and a 6.2-inch HD+ AMOLED display on the outside.
The exterior display of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is 6.56 inches in size and offers Full HD+ quality, 120 frames per second (Hz), HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. Within the MIX Fold 2 is an 8.02-inch OLED LTPO 2.0 screen that supports 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision.
On the outside of both phones is a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus, while on the inside is a layer of Schott ultra thin glass.
When comparing the two foldable smartphones, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Xiaomi’s MIX Fold 2, the question of which offers
Both foldables are powered by Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. In addition, each supports up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of native storage.
The Galaxy Z Fold4 is powered by a 4400mAh battery, while the MIX Fold 2 has a slightly larger 4500mAh one. While the MIX Fold 2 supports fast charging at up to 67W, the Galaxy Z Fold4’s maximum charging power is just 25W.
Unlike the MIUI 13 on Android 12 that powers the MIX Fold 2, OneUI 4.1.1 comes pre-installed on the Galaxy Z Fold3. Both companies aim to differentiate their folding displays with added functions, but Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold4 has superior software optimization.
Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 vs Xiaomi MIX Fold 2
The fourth-generation Samsung foldable has improved optics over its predecessors, with a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. In addition to its 50MP primary camera, the MIX Fold2 has a 13MP ultrawide and an 8MP telephoto lens.
However, the 20-megapixel conventional selfie camera on the MIX Fold 2 may outperform the 4-megapixel under-display sensor on the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
What You Can Expect to Pay for the New Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 vs. the New Xiaomi MIX Fold 2
At its lowest, the Galaxy Z Fold4 costs $1,799. ( Rs 1,43,000). At the same time, the MIX Fold 2 can be had for as little as CNY 7,999. (Rs 1,05,600). With identical features, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is much less expensive. Samsung’s latest foldable, the Galaxy Fold 4G, is a significant improvement over its predecessors. Yet, notwithstanding, consumer-friendly market competition bodes well for the prospect of far cheaper foldables in the years to come
