Xiaomi’s smartphone marketing head, Wei Siqi has officially started teasing the MIX Flip 2, expected to be the company’s first foldable release this year. In a recent Weibo post, she shared that President Lu Weibing had held a discussion with fans of small foldables to understand user expectations. While the company has no plans to launch the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4’s successor this year, the Mix Flip 2 clamshell foldable is expected to break cover later this month.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 specifications: What’s known so far
As per reports, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is said to feature a 6.85-inch OLED inner foldable display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Reports suggest that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset paired with a 5,100mAh battery that supports 67W wired and 50W wireless charging.
When it comes to durability, the device is said to offer IPX8-rated water resistance. With a folded thickness of just 7.6mm and a weight of around 190 grams, it’s set to be thinner and lighter than the first-generation MIX Flip.
A key highlight of the MIX Flip series has always been its functional cover display. Xiaomi appears to be retaining the large, 4-inch cover screen and optimizing it further with HyperOS 2. The outer screen is reportedly being redesigned with a dedicated section for running apps seamlessly, while the rest of the screen remains available for extra content.
For photography, the Mix Flip 2 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide snapper. The device is also expected to come with other features like an IR blaster, NFC, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Xiaomi is expected to hold a major launch event later this month to unveil not just the Mix Flip 2, but also Redmi’s compact gaming tablet and K80 Ultra flagship phone.
