According to a tipster from China, Xiaomi has a couple of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered devices in the pipeline. The leak reveals that apart from the Redmi K70, the upcoming tablet and small foldable phone from the brand will also feature the said chipset.

The tablet that the leaker seems to be talking about appears to be the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro. A recent report claimed that the Pad 7 Pro will arrive with a 144Hz LCD display, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a square-shaped camera module like the Xiaomi 14 series. The small foldable phone with an SD8G2 chip that the leaker is talking about seems to be the Xiaomi Mix Flip.

At present, there is no information about the other specifications of the Mix Flip. However, the above schematic suggests that it will have a triple camera unit comprising a 3x telephoto zoom lens on the back.

An IMEI database listing of the device that emerged in September revealed that its model number is 2311BPN23C. It is speculated that the Xiaomi Mix Flip may launch with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in April 2024. It is also being said that the first-generation Mix Flip may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. In the home market, the device is expected to face competition from the Honor Magic Flip and the Vivo X Flip 2, which are also expected in the first half of 2024.
