Xiaomi MIX Fold 2" it is the latest leaflet of the company and is characterized by several distinctive traits. One of these is the resolution of the folding problem: the smartphone, in fact, remains flat at the time of the fold minimizing the risk of screen breakage. An engineering masterpiece that certainly costs a lot both to the user and to the company itself. And precisely for this reason the Chinese giant has decided to be transparent and communicate to everyone how much does it cost to produce Xiaomi MIX Fold 2. Are you ready? Hold fast.
How much does the production of Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 cost? More than that of an iPhone for sure. Here are the official data disclosed by the company
According to the official channels of the brand, the first batch of Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 foldables sold out in less than 5 minutes. The company, as anticipated, has also provided information on the cost of smartphone components. As it turned out, repairing the internal display costs more than some iPhone models. It is worth mentioning that the device uses one 8.02 ″ internal screen with a resolution of 2016 x 1914 pixels: this is the first display made with technology Samsung Eco²OLED (1000 nits, 120 Hz refresh rate, LTPO 2.0, P3 wide color gamut, Dolby Vision and HDR 10+).
There is also a panel 6.56 ″ external OLED with 2520 x 1080 resolution (Samsung E5, 1000 nits, 120Hz refresh rate, wide color gamut P3, Dolby Vision, HDR 10+ and Corning Victus tempered glass). According to official data, the MIX Fold 2's internal display is priced at $ 721, while the flagship's external display costs $ 133. Consequently, the total cost of two screens exceeds $ 850, excluding repair service prices, enough to buy a new flagship (and in some cases two).

- rear camera (main): $ 40
- rear camera (ultra wide angle): $ 12
