Xiaomi Mix Flip: The Revolutionary Foldable Rival to Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
Xiaomi Mix Flip: The Foldable Phone That’s All About Style and Substance
Xiaomi has finally unleashed its Mix Flip foldable phone on the global market, following a two-month exclusivity period in China. The phone’s surprise launch event coincided with the unveiling of the mid-range flagships, Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro.
The Mix Flip’s clamshell design is reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Motorola’s Razr Plus. The phone boasts a 4.01-inch cover screen with a nearly square 1:1.15 aspect ratio, which wraps around the two rear cameras in a similar manner to the Motorola Razr Plus 2024. This outer screen is home to interactive wallpapers featuring animated pets, as well as a downsized home screen with customizable apps and widgets.
When you unfold the phone, you’re greeted by a 6.8-inch inner display with a resolution of 2912 x 1224, an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits – slightly larger than an iPhone 16 Plus.
The phone is available in either black or purple, with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU, and Qualcomm AI Engine for neural processing.
In terms of AI, the Mix Flip comes loaded with features developed by both Google and Xiaomi, including Google Gemini, Circle to Search, and proprietary image editing and translation tools.
The phone’s camera system was developed in partnership with Leica and boasts an impressive specs sheet, featuring a 50MP main camera and 50MP telephoto camera, capable of recording 8K video at 24fps and 4K video at 60fps. The phone also has a 32MP punch-hole selfie camera inset in the inner display, which can record 4K video (albeit only at 30fps).
The Mix Flip’s 4,780mAh cell supports wired charging at up to 67W, with no wireless charging. The phone is available in the UK at a price of £1,099, as well as other markets internationally.
We’re eager to get our hands on the Xiaomi Mix Flip to see if it’s worthy of a place on our lists of the best folding phones and best Xiaomi phones.
