Xiaomi has officially stepped into the clamshell foldable game with the Mix Flip, and after launching it in China about two months ago, it’s finally going global with a price tag of €1,300. It’s only available in one configuration—12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage—and honestly, I think it’s positioned well to compete with the likes of Samsung and Motorola in the foldable space.
What stands out to me is its design and the impressive set of features Xiaomi has packed into the Mix Flip. It sports a 4-inch OLED cover display for quick access to notifications and basic controls, which is great for everyday tasks without having to open the device. The main 6.86-inch OLED screen is large and vibrant, offering FHD+ resolution, so you’re not sacrificing screen quality for the foldable form.
The Mix Flip is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which is one of the top performers out there right now. It should handle multitasking, gaming, and media consumption without breaking a sweat. Plus, with the 50MP main and ultrawide cameras, you’re getting strong photography capabilities, including features like night mode, AI enhancements, and 4K video recording. That’s a big win for people like me who care about having a solid camera on a foldable.
Battery life also seems solid, with a 4,780 mAh battery and 67W fast charging, which is faster than what many competitors offer. Xiaomi’s HyperOS, which integrates Advanced AI along with Google’s Gemini Nano and Circle to Search, should help the device run smoothly while offering a smarter user experience.
Overall, the Mix Flip is aimed at consumers who want a sleek, foldable device without paying the typical premium price that comes with most foldables. Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed all the availability details yet, but with its feature set and pricing, I think the Mix Flip is going to shake things up in the foldable phone market.
