Introducing the Xiaomi Mix Flip: The Next Top-Selling Foldable

Have you ever wondered which device has been the top-selling foldable for the past three years? It may come as a surprise to many, but it’s none other than the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip series – including the Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 5. These devices fold around the horizontal axis, offering a unique and compact design that fits right in your pocket.

While most people might associate foldables with book-style devices like the Galaxy Z Fold models, which open and close around a vertical axis, clamshell foldables have their own charm. Brands like Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and soon Xiaomi have also joined the trend of clamshell foldable smartphones.

Recently, a variant of the Xiaomi Mix Flip was discovered on China’s 3C regulatory website by renowned leaker Digital Chat Station. This variant, with model number 2405CPX3DC, does not feature satellite messaging and calls – hinting at a potential international release for Xiaomi fans outside of China.

Notably, the Xiaomi Mix Flip is set to offer a best-in-class 67W fast charger, surpassing competitors like vivo X Flip and Oppo Find N3 Flip. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 offers wired charging at 25W while Motorola’s Razr+ charges at a maximum speed of 30W.

Aside from its impressive charging speed, the upcoming Xiaomi Mix Flip is rumored to feature an ultra-slim build and Leica-branded rear cameras that could give it an edge over other clamshell foldables. Additionally, it is expected to be Xiaomi’s first foldable device with an IP rating for dust and water resistance – crucial for a device with a hinge.

Set to debut in Q3 of 2024, the Xiaomi Mix Flip will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The device will boast a main camera with OIS (optical image stabilization) featuring a 50MP sensor. It will also include a 12MP Ultra-wide camera and a 10MP periscope telephoto lens for up to 2x optical zoom with an Omnivision OV60A sensor. On the front side, expect a high-resolution selfie camera backed by a 32MP Omnivision sensor.

Get ready for the future of foldables with the Xiaomi Mix Flip – combining cutting-edge technology with innovative design for an unparalleled user experience. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new device!
