Xiaomi MIX Flip 2: Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is set to launch the Mix Flip 2 soon. The phone will be the successor to the Xiaomi Mix Flip that was launched last year. A senior Xiaomi executive has hinted at the launch of the upcoming clamshell foldable. Recent reports suggest that the handset will be launched alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and Redmi’s gaming tablet.
In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi’s general manager of marketing, Ziqi Wei, revealed that the company’s president, Lu Weibing, recently held a discussion with Xiaomi Mix Flip users. The discussion covered the pros and cons of using the phone, as well as features that could be improved. This suggests that the company is looking to improve on the existing clamshell foldable and that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 may be launched soon.
Meanwhile, tipster Smart Pikachu recently claimed in a Weibo post that the Xiaomi Mix Flip will be launched in China by the end of June. The foldable smartphone is expected to be launched alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and the gaming-focused Redmi Tablet. The Mix Flip 2 is expected to be thinner and lighter than the current model.
Xiaomi is not expected to launch a book-style foldable model this year. The Xiaomi Mix Flip is said to come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and a 6.85-inch 1.5K LTPO OLED main foldable screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It may have an IPX8 rating for water resistance. It is likely to carry a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.
As for optics, the Xiaomi Mix Flip is tipped to get two 50-megapixel outward-facing cameras, including an ultrawide shooter. The phone is backed by a 5,100mAh battery with support for 67W wired fast charging.
