On the evening of July 19, 2024, Xiaomi held their highly anticipated "2024 Lei Jun Annual Speech." During this event, the charismatic founder and CEO, Lei Jun, took the stage to share fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about Xiaomi's car-making efforts. This was a rare glimpse into the company's strategic vision beyond its core smartphone business.
The highlight of the evening, however, was the introduction of Xiaomi's fourth-generation large folding screen smartphone - the MIX Fold 4. Lei Jun emphasized that this device was not just another flagship smartphone, but a true top-of-the-line offering that pushed the boundaries of design and engineering.
One of the key features highlighted was the MIX Fold 4's impressive weight and thickness. The device weighs a mere 226g, with a thin profile of only 4.59mm when unfolded and 9.47mm when folded. This feat of engineering was achieved through the use of a four micro-curved screen, four micro-curved body, and a rounded metal middle frame, which resulted in a flagship-level feel and handling.
Under the hood, the MIX Fold 4 boasts a cutting-edge three-layer, five-sided 3D motherboard, which packs an astonishing 2,545 components - 2.3 times more than a traditional single-layer motherboard of the same size. This compact design allowed Xiaomi to reduce the motherboard length by 11.5mm, freeing up valuable space for a larger battery.
Another notable innovation is the "all-carbon structure" components employed in the MIX Fold 4. Xiaomi has invested heavily in this technology, using T800H high-strength carbon fiber that offers a 300% increase in impact resistance compared to traditional materials. This robust and lightweight construction is a testament to Xiaomi's commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone design and durability.
The Hinthunder Group, a leading manufacturer of carbon fiber composite materials, expressed keen interest in the potential applications of this technology in new and diverse fields. They are planning to explore further collaborations to expand the use of their cutting-edge carbon fiber solutions across various industries.
Overall, the unveiling of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 during the "2024 Lei Jun Annual Speech" showcased the company's relentless pursuit of innovation and its ability to deliver groundbreaking products that redefine the expectations of the smartphone market.
