Tl; Dream
- Xiaomi has launched Mix Flip 2 folding phone in China.
- The new folding has a Snapdragon 8 -elite chip and a battery larger than the one inside the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
- Xiaomi also offers a portable camera set, which combines a camera grip with a photo wrinter.
Samsung will launch Galaxy Z Flip 7 In a couple of weeks, and we have already got a rough idea of what we can expect. What if you want more impressive flip hardware? Well, Xiaomy Have just launched Mix Flip 2, but it also comes with one of the strangest accessories we’ve seen in a while.
Xiaomi offers several accessories for Mix Flip 2, such as a screw cabinet that protects the cover screen. However, the portable camera set is the prominent supplement here. This is a hybrid camera grip and thermal photographer. The kit is connected to the bottom of the phone and offers a camera shuttle button. However, the accessories also spit out photo prints via a groove on the back.
The portable camera set looks quite cumbersome, and there is an argument that this defeats the purpose of a flip folding in the first place. After all, one of the benefits of this form factor is the pocket -friendly approach. Most people probably have better buying a standalone portable photo wrinter, but it’s still an interesting idea. I actually don’t mind seeing similar camera grip for Top camera phones.
What else to know about Mix Flip 2?
Xiaomi’s unit stands out from other Clamshell folding phones thanks to a large, 5,165 mAh battery. This would dwarf Galaxy Z Flip 7s rumored 4,300 mAh battery and is slightly larger than Galaxy S25 Ultra5,000 mAh cell. Do you need to fill up? Well, the phone also offers 67W wired and 50W wireless charging.
We have heard contradictory rumors about the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s processor, with the latest leaks pointing to an Exynos 2500 chip. However, the Xiaomi Mix 2 flips with a Snapdragon 8 elite processor. This is expected to be more powerful than Exynos SOC, and theoretically makes it better for demanding workloads and advanced games.
Otherwise, Xiaomi has a 6.83-inch 120Hz foldable OLED display (2 912 x 1 224, 3200 NITS top brightness). Xiaomi says this screen has a “super flat board” that is apparently certified to stay flat after 200,000 folds. Meanwhile, a 4.01-inch is 120Hz cover screen (1,392 x 1 208, Dragon Crystal Shield 2.0 protection) available on the outside. This external screen supports 500 often used apps, while Xiaomi has also brought three new animated petavates to this panel.
In a fun touch, Mix Flip 2 can also make pictures of your real pets to animated avatars on the cover of the cover. Check out the official video below for a better idea.
