This morning the Chinese blogger Digital Chat Station broke the news that an 8-inch screen device from Xiaomi has entered its development phase. The screen size is comparable to that of the iPad mini (the screen of the new iPad mini is 8,3 inches).
Xiaomi working on flagship stores with 8 ″ screen: is it the next MIX FOLD 2?
It is reported that this flagship with an 8-inch screen is equipped with Qualcomm's flagship processor, namely the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, uses an LTPO screen and has a resolution of 2,5K.
Previously, Xiaomi used an LTPO type screen on the Xiaomi 12 Pro. It was a second generation LTPO panel, with LTPO standing for Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxid, or low temperature polycrystalline oxide.
AMOLED screens based on this material have a wider refresh rate range, which in turn stems from adaptive refresh rate technology. The core of this technology is to make the hardware screen refresh rate accurately match the frame rate of the software content under the premise of ensuring high smoothness of the network frame and reducing the waste of energy caused by repeated screen refresh. of the same content.
Thanks to these new LTPO-type panels, the flagship with 8-inch screen that the Xiaomi brand is working on will be able to guarantee a fluid experience while saving energy at the same time, therefore one of the best smartphone displays currently on the market.
It is worth noting that at the moment it is thought that this flagship with 8-inch screen could be the successor of the foldable with folding screen, the Xiaomi Mi MIX FOLD, and that it could be called Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2. So nothing to do with the iPad mini with which it shares the screen size.
