Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Launch Teased
Xiaomi’s General Manager of Marketing Siqi Wei revealed in a Weibo post that the company’s President, Lu Weibing, recently held a discussion with users of the Xiaomi Mix Flip. She added that the discussion included the good sides of using the phone, as well as its drawbacks, and the features that could be improved. This suggests that the company is indeed looking to improve upon the existing clamshell foldable. Therefore, we may see the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 soon.
Meanwhile, tipster Smart Pikachu claimed in a Weibo post that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will likely launch towards the end of June in China. The foldable smartphone is expected to launch alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and a gaming-focused Redmi tablet. The Mix Flip 2 is tipped to be slimmer and lighter than the existing model, which has a 7.8mm profile when unfolded and weighs 192g. Earlier leaks claim that the phone could measure 7.6mm when unfolded and weigh around 190g.
Xiaomi is expected not to launch a book-style foldable model this year. The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 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. The purported handset may have an IPX8 rating for water resistance. It will likely carry a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.
For optics, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is tipped to get two 50-megapixel outward-facing cameras, including an ultrawide shooter. The phone may pack a 5,100mAh battery with support for 67W wired fast charging.
Notably, the current Xiaomi Mix Flip has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a 4,780mAh battery, a 6.86-inch 1.5K inner display, and a 4.01-inch 1.5K cover screen.
