 Xiaomi MI MIX FOLD CLAIMS THE OPTICAL FLUID HAS HIGH LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE

 

Xiaomi has started promoting the next phone, Mi Mix, the company's  by means of a notice on the Chinese social network, that is, this is the first phone to have a liquid lens, the camera unit is on the phone, and today, I will share with you some of a liquid the lens is and how it differs from that of traditional l-lens.

What is a liquid lens?

A flexible lens is a lens that uses the principle of the human eye to adjust the focus and the focal length of the lens. A liquid lens is a clear liquid that is embedded in and for the monitoring of the surface of the liquid, and with a high accuracy by means of a motor, or by the application of an electric voltage in such a way that, when the shape of the surface of the fluid, changes in the molecular size, and the main focus of the lens will change due to the refraction of the light. depending on the shape of the the surface of the liquid

And they said, Xiaomi Company, the liquid lens, the camera can capture pictures from the macro to the macro as well as being quick, and it will automatically adjust to the screen.

This type of lens can be combined with the techniques of a lot of lenses that are available in the phone, it's a change from the summer. The lens can be turned into a photograph and allows the lens to a macro.A liquid lens, which is different from the traditional lens

The most obvious difference between a liquid lens, conventional lens, which is the traditional lens to the next is dependent on the movement of the lens or group of lenses in a mechanically accurate way to find the appropriate Instagram and distance, as a liquid lens is dependent on the change of the shape of the liquid surface, which allows the lens of the focal length. And in the focus of the liquid lens to be more flexible on the size and shape of the haircut and it can be done faster than a 'normal' lens is currently in place.  





Xiaomi pack, and a liquid lens, the new Mi Mix.

The company claims to have an optical structure, just like the human eye.

The lens, which will allow you to have both a telephoto and a macro-elements.

Xiaomi unveiled the new Mi Mix on March 29, the company started to get annoyed with some of its unique features. What's interesting is that the Mi Mix recently is the use of a liquid lens, which is a first in the smartphone world.

A liquid lens has an optical-grade, fluid, and controlled either mechanically or electronically. In contrast to the traditional hard disk drive, lenses, liquid lenses, stretch, and you can quickly change the focus. They also take up less space compared to conventional lenses.

According to Xiaomi CEO, Lei jun, the company itself has been the development of a liquid lens is driven by a motor to ensure precise and fast focus. The flowing shapes of the lens, it will be wrapped in a film, which allows you to change the focal length, and focus.

Xiaomi compares it to what the human eye sees it. The deformation rate of the fluid lens, which, according to Xiaomi, is significantly higher than that of the mechanical operation of a conventional optical lenses, which greatly enhances the speed of the af.

Oct also showed that, while the lens may allow for both a macro and telephoto shots.

In addition, Xiaomi is claiming that the optical fluid is characterized by a high light transmission and low dispersion, and is resistant to extreme environments.

So, I can't wait to see the first mobile phone with a liquid lens? We have also heard that the new Mi Mix is a compact pen. What do you think about this topic? Let us know in the comments section below.

Xiaomi was announced their vision for a foldable Mi Mix Fold smartphone is more than a month ago, and, of course, there are questions about the durability of moving parts, as is often the case with the folding of smartphones and tablets.

In a post published to Weibo, Xiaomi explains how it solved a couple of issues related to heat dissipation when it comes to other foldable devices. Xiaomi explains that one of the issues with foldable devices is that the capacity of which the device can dissipate heat is dependent on whether its folding or not. The other (related) issue is that the imbalance lies herein that the side of the device that contains the SoC is will always gather more heat.

 

With the Mi Mix Fold, Xiaomi has developed a “Butterfly” heat dissipation mechanism that can dissipate heat from one side of the phone to the other, across the hinge mechanism. This means that the total cooling area is much larger than that of a non-folding smartphone.

As per Xiaomi, the Mix Fold “has been equipped with the most luxurious and cutting-edge multi-dimensional heat dissipation technology in the industry”. The Mix Fold uses a combination of liquid cooling, thermal gel, multilayer graphite sheets, bend-resistant graphite sheets, and a copper foil piece. This gives the Mi Mix Fold a total of 22,583.7 sq mm (35 sq in) of heat dissipation surface area.

 

To ‘bridge’ the two sides of the phone together for heat dissipation, Xiaomi developed the “heat transfer tunnel”. This was achieved by the bend-resistant graphite material. This resistance to bending was achieved thanks to a “micro airbag bionic knuckle” skin along the graphite that still lets heat flow through while its bent. Xiaomi says this material only lost 3-5% of its ability to transfer heat after bending 180-degrees 200,000 times.

 

The image above shows the process needed to make the graphite bendable. This involves several manufacturing processes.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold is expected to go on sale in China starting today, Friday April 16. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset, it has a 6.52-inch external display, 8.01-inch internal folding display, a 5,020 mAh battery with 67W fast charging, 108MP main camera with liquid lens + 13MP ultrawide + 8MP telephoto camera.

The 12GB/256GB model will retail for CNY 10,000 (~$1,533). a 12GB/512GB storage option will be retail for CNY 11,000 (~$1,686), and the 16GB/512GB variant will go for CNY 13,000 ($1,993)

To prove the rigidness of the Mi Mix Fold, Xiaomi put it to vigorous testing. The device withstood more than 400,000 bendings, which roughly translates to about 10 years of normal usage. One would argue that by that time, you'd have other more pressing issues with the phone.

The test itself was carried out in the span of 7 days and the Mi Mix Fold was "violently" folded non-stop during a live stream in China. That's a pretty harsh stress test if you ask us and normal working conditions would be far less taxing on the hinge.

In addition to the internal display, Mi MIX FOLD sports a 6.52” external AMOLED display, also the biggest on any foldable smartphone yet. With a 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate and HD+ resolution, this display offers quick and smooth user experience with great sharpness and detail. The display reaches a 27:9 aspect ratio and boasts top color accuracy of JNCD≈0.55 and ΔE≈0.52. Finally, with 900 nits peak brightness, 700 nits overall brightness, and HDR10+ support, the display offers excellent viewing angles, depth and color contrast.

Powered by Xiaomi’s own AI algorithm, Mi MIX FOLD’s external and internal displays can generate images and videos in super resolution, and are even capable of doubling the resolution of pictures from 720p to 1440p. For video, the AI algorithm triples the resolution, enhancing the quality from 480p to 1440p.

WORLD’S FIRST SMARTPHONE equiped with  QUAD SPEAKERS, SOUND BY HARMAN KARDON

Having received widespread acclaim for its dual speakers on previous devices, Xiaomi further elevated the sound system on Mi MIX FOLD by creating the first ever smartphone quad speakers setup. The symmetrically designed dual 1216 speakers are positioned on either side of the screen and boast a large 0.65mm amplitude and 1.34cc-equivalent sound cavity. The speaker’s innate properties are strengthened by 15V Smart PA which drives the sound level up to 40% louder than that of Mi 10 Pro. Mi MIX FOLD inherits the legacy of the Mi 11 series with professional grade tuning through SOUND BY Harman Kardon.

Mi MIX FOLD is the industry’s first smartphone to adopt true panoramic surround sound. Using Xiaomi’s own quad-speaker array algorithm, the device can realize 3D spatial audio field playback, which builds an additional sound dimension on top of the foundational dual speakers, creating a true 3D spatial audio listening experience.

THE MOST POWERFUL FOLDABLE SYSTEM FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT

Powered by Dolby Vision and a quad-speaker 3D panoramic sound system, Mi MIX FOLD is an absolute beast for viewing content, offering an immersive viewing experience with vivid colors, full-bodied sound quality and a super large display surface. The device also supports multi-window, allowing you to watch up to four videos in different windows on the display at the same time.

Mi MIX FOLD also offers a completely unrivalled gaming experience on a mobile device. At 8.01” in size, the device has more vertical space giving a much wider field of view than traditional smartphones.The bigger the screen, the better the work! Mi MIX FOLD’s super large display is the ultimate productivity booster for busy people on the go, supporting a wide range of highly practical work tools such as split screen, multi-screen drag and drop, parallel windows, Desktop mode, AI meeting assistant and many more.

WORLD DEBUT OF LIQUID LENS CAMERA AND XIAOMI’S SURGE C1 IMAGE SENSING PROCESSOR

Mi MIX FOLD debuts the Surge C1 processor – a professional image processing chip developed by Xiaomi. The product of two years of development and RMB 140 million in R&D investment, this chip provides exceptionally high performance while occupying low CPU and storage space. This enables it to service an improved 3A algorithm and low-light focus capabilities for more accurate auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance, significantly improving image quality. 

Mi MIX FOLD is also the world’s first smartphone with Liquid Lens technology, opening the era of bionic photography. The liquid lens uses the principle of human eye bionics, forming a lens-like structure with a transparent fluid wrapped in film, very different from traditional optical lenses. The radius of curvature of the spherical surface can be accurately changed thanks to a high-precision motor based on Xiaomi’s self-developed technology, which allows for 3X optical zoom, up to 30X telephoto, and a minimum focus distance of 3cm. One lens virtually covers functions of two lenses. You can shoot micro-details up close, and gaze at magnificent rivers and mountains from a distance. The Liquid Lens also offers high light transmittance, ultra-low dispersion and excellent resistance to extreme environments. It can maintain the fluid form in an environment from a low of -40°C to a high of 60°C, ensuring stable, long-lasting, and high-quality optics.

In addition, Mi MIX FOLD is also equipped with a 108MP pixel main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide angle camera with an impressive 123° field of view. The 108MP pixel main camera is equipped with a 7P lens, which can directly output 108MP pixel high-definition photos. The 123° ultra-wide angle camera supports smart switching, allowing an astounding field-of-view when shooting buildings and scenery. At the same time, AI ultra-wide angle distortion correction is used to effectively improve the edge distortion of the picture. Not only can it eliminate the edge distortion of landscapes, it can also correct distortion on faces in ultra-wide group photos.



5,020mAh folding screen largest battery, 100% charged in 37 minutes1

Mi MIX FOLD has a built-in 5,020mAh battery, offering the largest battery capacity among most foldables currently on the market. It uses Xiaomi’s patented new dual-battery parallel architecture, which consists of two batteries with a capacity of 2,460mAh and 2,560mAh. The special structure in parallel allows for incredible 10A current output providing powerful thrust for the smartphone’s four speakers.

 

On top of that, Mi MIX FOLD also supports 67W fast charging. Through the custom-made three IC chipsets and the parallel combination of two super-efficient charge pumps, a conversion rate of up to 97.5% can be achieved, allowing the phone to fully charge in 37 minutes1. Also introduced on the Mi MIX FOLD is CNT battery technology, which promotes safer and quicker charging while prolonging the battery’s lifespan.
