According to the latest report, Samsung Display will supply ultra-thin film glass (UTG) foldable panels to Xiaomi’s second-generation foldable smartphone “Mi MIX FOLD 2.”
The report pointed out that Samsung Electronics started using UTG from the Galaxy Z Flip last year. Since the release of Huawei’s Mate X in 2019, Chinese manufacturers have used polyimide film (PI) instead of glass in the Mate X2 and Xiaomi MIX FOLD launched this year.
