Xiaomi has launched it's next flip phone, the Mix Flip 2. It's the firm's second flip device, which could perhaps be its best attempt at a flip phone. The Flip 2 packs a generous amount of upgrades from the previous flip, including an upgraded processor and a larger battery.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Specifications and Features
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 boasts a similar design compared to last year. It has a slightly curved cover glass at all the three edges to give it a slightly premium feel. Size-wise, it's the same 4.01-inch M9 AMOLED display with 16:9 aspect ratio protected by Xiaomi's Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0
On the other hand, the inner display is a 6.86-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED with 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Xiaomi claims it packs a crease that's much less visible, and should be good for 200 folds a day with ease with a 50 µm flexible glass. Xiaomi claims it can withstand 2,00,000 folds.
The Flip 2 features a 50 MP primary Leica Summilux f/1.7 snapper with OIS, whereas the secondary is also a 50 MP ultrawide Summilux sensor but with an f/2.2 aperture.
Performance-wise, there's Snapdragon 8 Elite coupled with a distinct Vapour Chamber design which spans both top and bottom to keep the phone cool. The phone boasts UFS 4.1 storage coupled with LPDDR5X RAM. The storage and RAM variants include 12 GB + 256 GB and 12 GB + 512 GB. There's also a 16 GB + 1 TB variant on offer.
Powering the internals is a 5,165mAh battery with 67W fast charging. Xiaomi's also included 50W wireless charging, which the previous generation missed out on.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Price in China and Sale Date
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will be available in three colourways – Gold, Purple, and Mint. The Gold and Purple have unique designs. The former boasts a dual tone chequered colour, while the latter has white-coloured elements.
Variant | Price in China |
12 GB + 256 GB | 5,999 Chinese Yuan (approximately Rs 71,000) |
12 GB + 512 GB | 6,499 Chinese Yuan (approximately Rs 77,000) |
16 GB + 1 TB | 7,299 Chinese Yuan (approximately Rs 87,000) |
The phone is expected to go on sale in China next week. Although we don't know the exact timeframe, we expect it to go around the same time as Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9. The South Korean brand could announce its own Galaxy Z Flip 7 with a few improvements, so it should be interesting to see how both these flip phones fare when they're out.
