Xiaomi is expected to launch the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 clamshell phone later this month in China. However, it appears that the brand has no plans to launch a horizontally foldable phone as a successor to last year’s Xiaomi Mix Fold 4. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, claims that the brand will return to launching a Mix Fold foldable with significant upgrades next year.
Next-gen Xiaomi Mix Fold to offer new aspect ratio
At present, it is unclear whether next year’s offering will be called the Xiaomi Mix Fold 6 or something else. The leak reveals that the device will sport a new aspect ratio and feature significant upgrades. However, the leak did not specify what changes will be seen on the alleged Mix Fold 6. Tipster Smart Pikachu also revealed that the device is being tested with a Snapdragon chip.
Recent reports have revealed that Xiaomi is working on its first tri-foldable smartphone, similar to the Huawei Mate XT. Expected to launch in Q1 2026, the device is said to have the “zhuque” codename and 26013VP46C model number.
It is unclear whether the tri-foldable phone will be a direct successor to the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 or whether Xiaomi plans to release two foldable phones next year—a regular horizontally foldable phone and a tri-foldable phone.
As per reports, Xiaomi will unveil multiple devices this month (June) in China. While the Mix Flip 2 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, Xiaomi will also unveil the Dimensity 9400+-powered Redmi K80 Ultra and a gaming-focused tablet. The latter will compete with Red Magic’s upcoming gaming tablet and the Lenovo Legion Y700 (Gen 4).
