Back in July 2024, Xiaomi unveiled its first ever flip phone, dubbed the MIX Flip. We even had the chance to review the MIX Flip, calling it a powerful first entry but with a few compromises. But outside of China and a select few regions in Europe, the device hadn’t made a true global debut. This is set to change soon as Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun has just shared some exciting news.

Xiaomi MIX Flip Global Launch

The senior executive announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the MIX Flip foldable phone will be arriving in the global market this month. Lei Jun had teased the wider release a couple of months prior, and now, it seems like the launch is right around the corner. Considering the fact that September only has 10 days left, the MIX Flip could be dropping across the globe as early as next week.

So we can expect more information to surface in the coming days. To recall, the MIX Flip features a tall 6.9-inch OLED main screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits of peak brightness, and 1.5K resolution. Meanwhile, the cover screen is a 4-inch panel that also offers a 120Hz refresh rate and 3000 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC that is coupled with up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage.

A 4,780mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 67W wired fast charging. Xiaomi MIX Flip runs on the Android 14 OS based HyperOS custom skin out of the box. For optics, the rear has two 50MP cameras, while the front has a 32MP selfie shooter. It was announced for a starting price tag of 5,999 Yuan or roughly 825 US Dollars, so the global price tag could be around this figure. India is also a key region for the brand so it is likely that an Indian release is near as well. This is still just an unconfirmed report, so stick around for more updates.

Flip phones have been quite popular in the foldable smartphone segment, and in this category, Chinese brands have launched some impressive flip phones recently. So here’s a comparison between two such flip phones from China, namely the Huawei Nova Flip and the Xiaomi Mix Flip.

Huawei Nova Flip vs Xiaomi Mix Flip: Displays

A staple of foldable phones is the dual screen setup. A primary and a cover panel. Huawei’s latest announcement introduced the Nova Flip with a tall 6.94-inch LTPO OLED display with a FHD+ resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and 1200 nits of peak brightness. But the secondary panel is a much smaller 2.15-inch OLED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate. Recently, flip phones have become a lot more capable with screen sizes for the cover display also becoming larger.

This makes them more practical and allow them to display more information to the users. Xiaomi’s Mix Flip is a great example of this with its taller 4.01-inch AMOLED cover screen that offers 120Hz refresh rate, 3000 nits of peak brightness, and HDR10+. Which is noticeably more useful than the secondary display on the Nova Flip. For the primary panel, users get a 6.86-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3000 nits of peak brightness. So Xiaomi clearly has an edge in the display department.

Specs & Design

Unlike Xiaomi, Huawei equips its smartphone with its proprietary chipset. The Nova Flip is not an exception with the Kirin 8000 chipset, which is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. A 4,400mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 66W wired fast charging. This is a capable processor but its not the brand’s flagship chipset. Huawei offers the Nova Flip in two variants which include a plain leather and glass version with a lightweight and slim body (up to 199 grams & 15.12mm folded). It runs on the HarmonyOS 4.2 out of the box.

On the other hand, Xiaomi equips the Mix Flip with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. This is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. A larger 4,780mAh battery pack powers this device that offers 67W wired fast charging. However, it isn’t as slim and light as the Nova Flip as its measures 15.99mm when folded and weighs 192 grams. The Mix Flip runs on the Android 14 OS based HyperOS custom skin. It also has a dedicated thermal cooling solution with a 3D vapor cooling chamber.

Camera

For photography, the Huawei Nova Flip has a 50-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens on the rear. On the front, there is a 32-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls. The Xiaomi Mix Flip also has a dual camera setup with a 50-megapixel main camera but the brand includes a 50-megapixel telephoto shooter instead of an ultra wide angle lens. This allows you to take zoomed shots. The selfie camera on the Mix Flip is also similar to the Nova Flip, which is a 32-megapixel sensor.

Pricing & Verdict

There were many areas where the Xiaomi flip phone is a step ahead of its Huawei’s counterpart. But these come at a cost. The Xiaomi Mix Flip has a starting price tag of 5,999 Yuan (roughly 825 US Dollars) for its 12GB + 256GB option. In comparison, the Nova Flip starts from just 5,288 Yuan or 740 US Dollars for the 12GB + 256GB configuration. Its unlikely that someone opting for a flip phone has a rigid budget. For just 85 dollars more, you get a better camera setup, faster performance, and a bigger cover screen on the Mix Flip.

Samsung isn’t the only brand that is gearing up to launch a new flip phone. Xiaomi is set to unveil a Mix Flip model soon. But while there is no official word on its launch, a fresh certification sighting has confirmed its design elements and more.

Xiaomi Mix Flip visits NCC

The Chinese tech giant’s upcoming Mix Flip foldable phone was spotted on the NCC certification (Via MySmartPrice). It is not just the documentation as live images of the device were also shared. The upcoming flip phone carries the 2405CPX3DG model number. The picture confirms that the Xiaomi Mix Flip has a dual camera setup on the cover display, while the front houses a punch hole cutout for the selfie shooter.

Apart from the camera modules, there weren’t any other notable aspects. This is the black color option with a minimalist aesthetic save for the Xiaomi branding at the bottom. On NCC, the charging adapter of the new flip phone was also revealed. It carries the MDY1-EV adaptor, which confirms support for 67W wired fast charging. The device packs dual cells under the hood with an 1145mAh + 3595mAh battery. These specs are in line with one of our previous reports.

Xiaomi is expected to equip the Mix Flip with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, which is a flagship grade processor. The device was spotted on the 3C certification in China back in May with the 2405CPX3DC model number. Its chip is rumored to be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. For optics, the Mix Flip could feature a 50-megapixel primary camera that is paired with a 60-megapixel OmniVision OV60A telephoto shooter that offers 2x optical zoom. Other notable design elements include a 4-inch cover panel and a side mounted fingerprint scanner.

Before Xiaomi announced the MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra, an interesting development happened. Some system apps for both smartphones have been leaked. We checked the validity of the apps and found out that the apps were really leaked. Leaking the apps before the launch means that we are very close to the devices. Xiaomi is expected to announce new products in the first week of July.

Xiaomi MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra’s leaked system apps at a look

In this article, we take a deep look at the leaked system apps of the Xiaomi MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra. The Xiaomi Clock app for the MIX Flip has leaked, while the Xiaomi AI Translate app for the Redmi K70 Ultra has been revealed. We have examined the code lines of both apps in detail and confirm that the apps belong to the smartphones specified.

We have spotted that a special device codenamed “ruyi” has been added to the Xiaomi Clock app. The “ruyi” codename is known to belong to the MIX Flip. Compared to the previous Xiaomi Clock app, the new app has many lines of code related to the MIX Flip. We make this comparison by examining versions 15.26.0 and 15.30.0 of the app. The clock app for MIX Flip has version number 15.30.0. These lines of code were written by Xiaomi to make the app run smoothly on the foldable device.

Also, a Xiaomi AI Translate app for the Redmi K70 Ultra has been leaked. This app is used for instant subtitle translations and has special features for flagship devices. The Xiaomi AI Translate app not only shows us the Redmi K70 Ultra, but also some tweaks for the MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4.

As you can see above, there are 3 smartphones with the codenames “rothko”, “ruyi” and “goku”. These are the Redmi K70 Ultra, MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4 respectively. All this is a proof that the launch of the devices is quite a short time away. We are comparing to apps with versions 4.9.3 and 5.0.0.0.

Apart from these, there is nothing else to say. The features of the devices have already been leaked. The Redmi K70 Ultra will feature the Dimensity 9300 SOC, while the MIX Flip and FOLD 4 will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Both chips are extremely powerful and we’re looking forward to the new smartphones.

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch a new flip phone, the Mix Flip, with a global audience in its sights. The company dabbled in foldables with the Mix Fold series, those devices unfolded like a book, which opened like a book, but these were only available in China.

However, Xiaomi seems to be considering a global launch for its first flip phone. Evidence for this global launch comes as the Mix Flip has been spotted on Thailand’s regulatory body, NBTC.

The NBTC certification shows the phone’s model number as 2405CPX3DG and clearly labels it as a Xiaomi Mix Flip. Since NBTC certification is required for devices to launch in the Thai market, it suggests that the Mix Flip won’t be limited to China.

Furthermore, it appears that Thailand may receive the global version of the clamshell phone, as the model number ends with the letter “G,” indicating a global variant. Recently, the device was also spotted on Singapore’s IMDA certification.

Turning to the expected specifications, the Mix Flip is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. The display is tipped to offer a 1.5K resolution. 

In terms of cameras, the phone is speculated to boast a 32MP selfie camera in the front while the rear setup will include a 50MP main sensor (likely the OV50E with a 1/1.55-inch size), and an OV60A sensor for telephoto capabilities.

Additionally, a 3C certification hinted at 67W fast charging support, with the battery capacity expected to fall somewhere between 4800mAh and 4900mAh.

Xiaomi Mix Flip may also get satellite connectivity support as revealed by a listing on the GSMA’s IMEI database last month.

As for the release date, there’s no specific timeframe mentioned for the launch of the Xiaomi Mix Flip. But it may launch before Xiaomi 15 series which is rumored for October. So an August or September launch could be plausible.

Xiaomi continues to attract attention with its innovative steps in the smartphone world. As expected, MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip satellite communication versions were spotted in our database. The technical specifications of the smartphones had already been leaked. Now, Gizmochina is leaking satellite communication versions of these models.

MIX FOLD 4 & MIX Flip satellite communication versions

Satellite communication differs from regular cellular communication as it connects through ground stations and satellites. This technology allows users to stay in contact, especially in areas with limited or no cellular coverage. While cellular networks are effective in densely populated areas such as cities and towns, it can be poor in mountainous, and rural areas. On the other hand, satellite communication provides reliable communication in all situations. That’s why it’s important for Xiaomi to launch devices with satellite communication. The MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4 were confirmed with 2 different model numbers: 2405AVPB7C and 24076PX3BC. Of course, these models are exclusive to China.

Leaked Specifications of MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip

MIX Flip will be Xiaomi’s first Flip model. It will come with a 1.5k resolution display and the second screen will be located just below the cameras. Both smartphones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The main camera will be a 50MP Ovx8000, also known as Light Hunter 800, and will be accompanied by a 60MP Omnivision OV60A telephoto camera. Xiaomi MIX Flip’s rear cameras will consist of these two sensors. In addition to these two cameras, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will be accompanied by a 13MP OV13B ultra wide-angle camera and a 10MP Samsung S5K3K1 telephoto camera.

The satellite communication versions of Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 and Xiaomi MIX Flip could pioneer a new standard technology in the smartphone world. These models will provide users with the ultimate experience, enabling users to stay in touch anytime and anywhere, while offering wide coverage and seamless connectivity. Expected to be unveiled in early July, these innovative devices are highlighted by their superior technical features.

Xiaomi Mix Flip Cover Display & Battery

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the information on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). The Xiaomi Mix Flip is expected to launch sometime in the first half of this year. This means that its release could be right around the corner. According to DCS, the smartphone’s flexible primary screen will be surrounded by narrow bezels, while the cover screen will feature two punch hole cutouts for the dual camera setup that has a 50-megapixel main and a telephoto shooter.

The tipster further added that the prototype model of the Mix Flip has a battery capacity of 4,800mAh/4,900mAh.
