In July, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi Mix Flip as its first flip-style foldable phone. According to reports, the device has garnered positive feedback, prompting the brand to begin developing its successor edition. If a new leak is to be believed, the Mix Flip 2 will arrive earlier than expected in China.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 launch timeframe tipped
Digital Chat Station’s leak suggests that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will debut in the first half of 2025. He added that the strong sales of the first-generation model have prompted a major upgrade for the next edition.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powers the first-generation Mix Flip. According to DCS, the second-generation model will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It will arrive as a competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is likely to be the only other Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flip-style foldable phone in the market.
The other Weibo post from DCS suggests that the Mix Flip 2 will be equipped with wireless charging, a feature unavailable in the first generation. While the original model did not have an IP rating, the Mix Flip 2 is expected to arrive with an IPX8 rating. Additionally, it will be thinner and more versatile than its predecessor.
Back in August, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 was reportedly spotted with model numbers 2505APX7BC and 2505APX7BG in the GSMA IMEI database. Despite the absence of the device’s name in the IMEI database, speculation suggests that these model numbers correspond to the Chinese and global versions of the Mix Flip 2, respectively.
The EEC authority recently approved the global variant of the Mix Flip 2, indicating its future release in European markets. Unfortunately, apart from the chipset, nothing else has been revealed about the Mix Flip 2 yet. In China, some flip-style foldable phones offer batteries of around 4,800mAh capacity. With the recent trend of increased battery size in flagship devices, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Mix Flip 2 packing a 5,000mAh+ battery.
