{Disarmed} The Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 enters production, with an ultra-thin flexible glass screen developed by Samsung
While in Spain we are anxious to try that Xiaomi Mi MIX FOLD that never ends up arriving - despite its undeniable success within China - the company is already working on the successor, on the worthy heir to the company's first folding mobile.
And for its screen it will use, apparently, UTG (Ultra-thin Flexible Glass), a technology developed by Samsung based on ultra-thin and flexible glass, barely 30 microns thick , unlike the type of panel they used to date, based in PI (flexible polyimide film), twice as thick.

According to the information released , the new Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 would use an 8.01-inch Samsung UTG OLED screen , equipped with Gorilla Glass protection and anti-fingerprint coating. The external panel, following the philosophy of the first FOLD, would be manufactured by TCL and would have a size of 6.52 inches. Indeed, two providers for two screens.
You only need to remember the innovative design of the MI MIX Alpha, with a 360-degree screen , to see that Xiaomi is trying to expand its horizons in terms of design.
Last year it was already hinted that Xiaomi would end up adopting this solution carried out on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Although it is not the only one, Samsung is currently the main supplier of this material for brands such as Huawei.
All flexible screens suffer a stress break at the point where the screen folds. It is something that, for years, has tried to get around by resorting to rails and mechanical hinges, folding flaps, "book" folding systems and other alternatives that do not effectively fold the screen.
The Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 will seek to overcome all these problems as much as possible and become one of the most innovative terminals of 2022. Once the materials on which it will be built have been chosen, for now its production seems to start shortly.
