Xiaomi officially launched the Mix Flip 2, its second-generation clamshell foldable smartphone. The device arrives with meaningful upgrades across display, performance, battery, and design, positioning it as the most complete flip-style foldable Xiaomi has made so far. It is also the first flip phone on the market to feature a battery capacity exceeding 5000mAh.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Specifications
The Mix Flip 2 retains its predecessor’s dual-display layout but upgrades both screens for brightness, durability, and usability. The outer screen is a 4.01-inch AMOLED panel made from M9 luminescent material, reaching up to 3200 nits brightness and supporting over 500 optimized apps.
It allows full interaction with apps like messaging, maps, payments, and even video streaming. The inner screen uses the same M9 material, delivering 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 460PPI, and TÜV Rheinland triple eye-care certification. The 2160Hz PWM dimming support helps reduce flicker and eye strain.
The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It also debuts the industry’s first dual vapor chamber cooling system in a flip phone, with thermal modules placed on both the motherboard and lower half of the body to maintain sustained performance.
Mix Flip 2 runs Hyper OS 2 based on Android 15. The outer display supports app customization, multitasking cards, Xiao AI integration, and a unique animated pet wallpaper function where users can turn their own pets into interactive lock screen characters.
Coming to optics, the rear camera module includes two 50MP Leica-tuned sensors: a main Light Hunter 800 sensor with f/1.7 aperture, 2x optical-quality zoom, and optical image stabilization, alongside a 115° ultra-wide shooter. The camera system supports 4K/60fps video, Dolby Vision, and macro photography with a minimum focusing distance of 10cm. On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera.
Xiaomi breaks new ground in the flip phone category with a 5165mAh “Jinshajiang” battery featuring 10% silicon content and 843Wh/L energy density. The company says the battery lasts 0.45 days longer than the iPhone 16 Pro in typical use. It supports 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
The phone uses Xiaomi’s next-generation “Dragon Bone” hinge, engineered with a unique three-link and four-floating-plate design. It improves flatness when opened and durability when folded. The hinge uses ultra-flexible 50μm glass, and maintains a crease depth under 50μm even after 200,000 folds. The Mix Flip 2 also integrates car control for Xiaomi EVs and Apple ecosystem features like shared albums and file transfers.

Alongside the phone, Xiaomi also introduced the Mix Flip 2 Pocket Photo Kit priced at 699 yuan (~$95).

It includes a dedicated shutter button, built-in fill light, gesture and voice capture support, positive/negative film filters, and Leica-branded watermarks for a more authentic photo experience.
Printed photos are automatically laminated, protecting them from moisture and fading. The unique feature is the dynamic photo printing, which enables scanned prints to replay the original motion, bringing a new interactive layer to physical photographs.
