Passport-Sized Form Factor with Dual UTG Folding Screen
Chassis engineering focuses on one-handed portability, reduced crease depth, and structural drop resistance:
- A4 Paper Aspect Ratio (√2:1): Shared across both the 5.38-inch outer display (117.8 × 83.6mm folded, 10.68mm thick) and the 7.58-inch inner main screen. Optimized for 16:9 video, documents, and split-screen multitasking via Xiaomi HyperOS.
- Dual-Layer UTG & Organic Touch Layer: Combines a 50μm upper UTG layer with a 30μm UTG support layer and flexible organic film, achieving 258% higher impact resistance, 1.2m drop protection, and an average crease depth under 30μm.
- High-Strength Frame & Silicon Nitride Ceramic: Built using 7000-series aluminum alloy and Xiaomi Shield Glass 3.0. The Ceramic Edition utilizes lightweight silicon nitride ceramic—weighing 50% less than traditional zirconia while resisting extreme temperatures.
3nm Xiaomi XRING O3 AI Processor & LPDDR6 Memory
Internal hardware features Xiaomi's second-generation in-house SoC built on a 3nm manufacturing process:
- 10-Core All-Big-Core Architecture: Packs 24 billion transistors with a 10-core CPU layout (2 Ultra cores, 4 Premium cores, 4 Pro cores) delivering 60% higher performance and 25% lower power draw.
- G2-Ultra NX 16-Core GPU: Boosts graphics rendering by 85% while cutting power consumption by 64% compared to the previous generation.
- LPDDR6 Memory Standard: Debuts LPDDR6 RAM with a 24-bit interface, 10,667 Mbps data transfer rate, and 113.8 GB/s total memory bandwidth.
- Quad-Core SIMT NPU: Delivers 200 TOPS tensor performance and 3.13 TFLOPS vector processing, executing lightweight AI tasks directly inside processing blocks without NPU wake-ups.
