This afternoon the well-known Chinese blogger Ice Universe broke the news that the Xiaomi 12 Ultra and the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 will both be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus flagship processors, but it is still uncertain whether these two super flagships will be released at the same time.

Still the same Ice Universe had a few hours earlier revealed that the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 will be the lightest and thinnest model among the folding screen devices on the market, which means that Xiaomi has taken an important step forward in internal stacking, albeit at the at present the thickness and specific gravity are completely unknown.
In any case, in combination with the previously revealed information, the internal screen size of the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 should be 8 inches, which means that it won't be very far from the display size of the 8,3-inch iPad mini. While the size of the external screen should reach a maximum of 6,5 inches. Also, rumor has it that the MIX FOLD 2 will not have a "remote" shape when folded, as we have seen with other foldables like the Galaxy Fold.
More importantly, the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2 should improve one of its weaknesses of the previous generation, namely the low refresh rate screens, to be precise they had panels with a refresh rate of 60Hz. It is thought that the upcoming MIX FOLD 2 may have 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate displays.
We then recall that the Xiaomi MIX FOLD has adopted for the first time a chip developed in-house by the Chinese manufacturer, the Surge C1. It is a professional imaging chip which has dual filter configuration, which can realize the parallel processing of high and low frequency signals, and the signal processing efficiency is improved by 100% .With an ad hoc algorithm, 3A performance (AF, AWB, AE) is significantly improved.
This C1 chip could also arrive on board the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 2.
