Xiaomi is once again stepping into the foldable ring with its second-generation clamshell, the Mix Flip 2. Ahead of its official debut next week, the device has already been listed for reservation on Xiaomi Mall, signaling that the launch is just around the corner. Tipster “The panda is very good” recently dropped the latest leak, revealing a beefed-up 5100mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and a familiar but vibrant color palette: Cyan, Purple, Gold, and Black.
The Mix Flip 2 isn’t just an incremental upgrade; it’s shaping up to be a statement. Xiaomi Group Partner and President Lu Weibing confirmed the launch in a Weibo post recently, highlighting key improvements that address some of the core weaknesses in compact foldables: battery life, crease visibility, and thermal management. According to Weibing, Xiaomi began developing this generation three years ago, with a clear goal: create a flip phone that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
While Xiaomi hasn’t officially published the full spec sheet yet, multiple leaks paint a detailed picture. The Mix Flip 2 is expected to sport a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED inner screen and a 4.01-inch outer display, both tuned for high brightness and responsiveness. The device will reportedly ship with dual 50MP Leica-branded rear cameras, continuing the brand’s photography partnership. And yes, it runs on HyperOS 2.0, layered on top of Android 15.
According to the tipster, charging speeds remain fast, with 67W wired charging returning from the previous model, while wireless charging sees a boost to 50W. The phone is also expected to be IPX8-rated, making it one of the more water-resistant foldables in its class.
The first-generation Mix Flip launched last year with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 4780mAh battery, and the same 67W wired charging. It started at 5999 yuan (~$835). That model drew attention for its 1.5K outer screen with 1600 nits brightness, elements that are likely refined further in the new version.
If the rumors hold, the Mix Flip 2 could make its debut alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and Pad 7S Pro. But in typical Xiaomi fashion, the company seems laser-focused on redefining what a flip phone can be, not just pretty, but practical.
