Xiaomi kicked off its major announcement event today with the MIX Flip 2. There are no surprises here, after weeks of intentional teasers, we knew just how the flip-foldable would look and just how great it would be!
Available in four colors – Lattice Gold, Shell White, Nebula Purple, and Plum Green – and in three memory configurations – 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and 16GB/1TB.
The phone’s hinge is an innovative three-link, four-float plate structure, ensuring flat closing and as little crease as possible.
Lattice Gold and Shell White
The MIX Flip 2 looks very much like its predecessor, but it’s better in just about every way. The cover screen now stretches further into its bezels and has grown by 0.1 inches. The folding screen is the same in diagonal at 6.86 inches.
Both screens support the P3 wide color gamut, offer a 120Hz max refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. The cover screen’s touch sampling rate maxes out at 120Hz, while the inner one goes up to 300Hz.
The MIX Flip 2 uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and features a dual vapor chamber design for cooling.
While last year’s Mix Flip had an impressive 4,780mAh battery pack, the MIX Flip 2 bumps the pack up to an even better 5,165mAh Xiaomi GSR. It takes 67W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Moving on to cameras. Xiaomi dropped the 1x + 2x blueprint for the MIX Flip 2, and you get a 23mm f/1.7 wide angle with a 50MP 1/1.55-inch OV50E sensor, and a 14mm f/2.2 ultrawide with a 50MP sensor, autofocus, and 5cm macro capabilities.
Upfront is a 32MP selfie camera with 4K video.
The Xiaomi MIX Flip 2 ships with a USB cable, a two-piece case, and a 67W charger. Prices are CNY 5,999 (€715, £610, INR 71,600) for the 12/256GB model, CNY 6,499 (€775, £660, INR 77,600) for the 12/512GB, and CNY 7,299 (€870, £742, INR 87,000) for the 16GB/1TB model.
