Xiaomi unveiled its first clamshell foldable, the Mix Flip, in July 2024. Its successor has been making headlines in the rumor mill and has also appeared on multiple certification sites, confirming that the device is on its way.
Now, a report by XiaomiTime has revealed the camera specs of the upcoming flip phone. Unfortunately, the news isn’t as exciting as we had hoped.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 camera specs
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will reportedly feature the same OV8000 50MP main sensor and 32MP OV32B40 front camera as the Mix Flip. However, it seems the device is ditching the 50MP telephoto lens of its predecessor in favor of a 50MP Samsung S5KJN5 ultra-wide-angle camera.
What led Xiaomi to make this decision remains unclear, but for me personally, a telephoto camera is far more useful. Whether it’s for portraits or capturing crisp zoom shots, I find telephoto lenses more versatile than ultra-wide lenses.
A recent leak from Weibo tipster Experience More corroborates these camera details and adds that the Mix Flip 2 will come with an IPX8 rating and wireless charging support—features that were absent in its predecessor.
The tipster also mentions a larger battery, and a report earlier this week suggests it could house either a 5,600mAh or 5,700mAh cell. Considering the original Flip had a 4,780mAh battery, this would be a notable improvement, especially given the limited space clamshell folding phones have to accommodate larger batteries.
What else do we know
In addition to the camera and battery details, a few previous reports have shed light on other specifications of the phone. The Mix Flip 2 is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and will reportedly be thinner than its predecessor. For context, the Xiaomi Mix Flip is already quite slim at just 7.6mm.
Moreover, back in August, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 was reportedly spotted with the model numbers 2505APX7BC and 2505APX7BG in the GSMA IMEI database. The former is believed to represent the Chinese model, while the latter is likely the global variant. The prefix “2505” likely hints that the foldable could launch in May 2025 (the fifth month of the year).
