FULL STORY ======================================================================

August 10 (tomorrow at the time of writing) is a big date in this years tech calendar, as Samsung is holding an event where its expected to unveil the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 , the Galaxy Z Flip 4 , and the Galaxy Watch 5 line. But just one day later, its set to have some foldable competition.

Thats because, as spotted by PlayfulDroid , Xiaomi has now taken to Weibo a Chinese social network to reveal that its unveiling the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 , just one day later, on August 11.

This is the companys foldable successor to the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold , and assuming it has a similar design it will be a direct competitor to the
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

We dont know anything about the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 for sure, but according to leaks it might have a 120Hz refresh rate on both the inner and outer screen, with the outer display having a 1080 x 2520 resolution.

Leaks also point to a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, 12GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, 67W charging, and a triple-lens rear camera, with a 50MP primary sensor, a telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 13MP camera, which wed assume has an ultrawide lens.

So the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 sounds high spec enough to rival the Samsung Galaxy
Z Fold 4. However, we wouldnt expect it to be as widely available. It almost certainly wont land in the US, and theres a chance it wont even land outside China. As such, it might only provide competition to Samsung in very select regions. A Motorola Razr 2020 (Image credit: Future) Analysis: another foldable contender is also arriving

Xiaomi isnt the only company announcing a foldable phone just after Samsung, as Motorola is doing the same, with the Motorola Razr 2022 having been
delayed from an August 2 announcement to August 11.

Were not sure what caused the delay, but this means well likely see at least four foldable phones unveiled in the space of two days.

The Razr 2022s launch is also initially just for China, but as previous
models were sold more widely, wed think the Motorola Razr 2022 ultimately
will be as well, so there could be a lot of new options among the best foldable phones before long.
