In July, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi Mix Flip, marking its debut in the flip-style foldable phone market. Reports suggest the device received favorable reviews, encouraging Xiaomi to start working on its successor. According to a recent leak, the Mix Flip 2 could launch sooner than anticipated in China.
Tipster Digital Chat Station states that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is set to launch in the first half of 2025. The strong sales of the original Mix Flip have led Xiaomi to implement big upgrades for the second-gen model.
While the first-generation Mix Flip carries the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the upcoming Mix Flip 2 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It means a great performance upgrade. Also, makes it one of the most relevant flip flagships. After all, some brands tend to use older flagship chipsets in their clamshell foldable. This device will compete directly with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7. After all, this may be the only other flip-style foldable phone equipped with the same chipset.
