Xiaomi launched the Mix Fold 3 last month as the thinnest book-style foldable yet. However, it was soon revealed that the handset, like its predecessors, wouldn’t make it to the global market. That’s definitely a bummer, but the company is also said to have a flip phone in the works, which should launch next year in China and maybe in the outside world as well. With high expectations, we are now hearing that the Xiaomi clamshell foldable will be called the Xiaomi Mix Flip, of course.
ITHome has spotted the alleged Xiaomi vertical foldable on the IMEI database with model number 2311BPN23C. The device is listed with the moniker “Mix Flip”, confirming the previous rumors. There are no other interesting details to be found in the listing. While there’s no official confirmation from the brand, a leaker recently claimed the Mix Flip is launching sometime next year alongside the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4.
Previously, a GSMChina report shared design renders of the upcoming flip phone. We couldn’t help but point out that the camera is a reminder of the Xiaomi 11 Ultra, although it is much smaller in the case of Mix Flip. There are three camera sensors with LED flash. One of the cameras is said to offer 3X telephoto zoom.
The Xiaomi Mix Flip could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and feature a sleek design. We would expect it to be thin and light because that’s what Xiaomi likes to do with its foldables. In any case, take these early leaks with a pinch of salt. We are still many months away from the official launch, and a lot is bound to change. Stay tuned for updates.
