Xiaomi has unveiled its much-anticipated follow-up to the Mix Flip: the Mix Flip 2, a clamshell-style foldable packed with meaningful upgrades.
The design remains elegant and compact, but noticeably slimmer and lighter. Now measuring approximately 7.6 mm thick when unfolded and tipping the scales at just under 200 g, it edges closer to rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 (hindustantimes.com, techadvisor.com).
Battery life, a known pain point for flip foldables, sees a huge leap forward. Xiaomi has expanded the capacity to around 5,100 mAh (other leaks even suggest up to 5,700 mAh), compared to the 4,780 mAh cell in the original Flip. Quick-charging is robust, with 67 W wired and an impressive 50 W wireless DIY restore (phonearena.com).
Display-wise, the inner screen retains its crisp 6.85″ LTPO OLED panel, now featuring a sharper 1.5 K resolution and smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. The redesigned 4″ cover screen shines at a peak brightness of 3,200 nits and supports over 500 apps—perfect for quick glances and light multitasking (hindustantimes.com).
Under the hood, it’s powered by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, promising top-tier performance and efficient power use. There’s also an updated hinge mechanism rated for over 200,000 folds (hindustantimes.com).
Camera enhancements stand out thanks to Xiaomi’s continued collaboration with Leica. The Mix Flip 2 features dual 50 MP rear shooters—one wide, one ultra-wide—both OIS‑equipped and optimized for vivid, low-light photography. The addition of a high-end ultra-wide sensor replaces last year’s telephoto setup, giving users more flexibility (cincodias.elpais.com).
What’s more, the Flip 2 brings in water resistance (IPX8), NFC, infrared blaster, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. It comes preloaded with Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 2.2 over Android 15 (cincodias.elpais.com).
Color options look diverse and vibrant, including black, gold, green, and purple finishes (hindustantimes.com). Xiaomi plans to launch globally just ahead of Samsung’s Z Flip 7 debut, targeting fashion-forward consumers and photography enthusiasts alike (cincodias.elpais.com).
In short, the Mix Flip 2 refines everything that made its predecessor compelling: sleeker build, much longer battery life, pro-tier dual‑50 MP cameras, flagship performance, and key practical upgrades like water resistance and wireless charging. It’s shaping up to be a powerful contender in the foldable market.
