The Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold, the company’s first and only foldable smartphone has been on the market for some weeks now. At the Chinese annual 618 event, there is usually a plethora of discounts and coupons. Today, Xiaomi officially announced that the Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold has a huge promotion on JD.com. You can get a discount of up to 1,400 yuan ($217). The starting price of the 12GB + 256GB model is now 8599 yuan ($1,335). Obviously, this deal will only be active for a limited period.
The Xiaomi MI MIX Fold is the world’s first smartphone to use Xiaomi’s self-developed surging C1 chip. This chip is a professional imaging chip. According to Xiaomi’s official description, C1 can greatly improve the performance of 3A through self-developed algorithms. 3A actually stands for AF autofocus, AWB white balance, and AE auto exposure.
Furthermore, this foldable smartphone is also the world’s first device to use a liquid lens with new bionic technology. This technology mimicks the “human eye lens”. The flowable liquid is wrapped in a film to replace the traditional optical lens. In this way, a single lens can achieve both telephoto and macro functions at the same time.
