Xiaomi has officially launched its first-ever clamshell flip phone, the Xiaomi Mix Flip, in Malaysia. Following the global announcement teased by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the Mix Flip is now available to Malaysian consumers. With its edge-to-edge cover display and Leica co-engineered dual-camera setup, the Xiaomi Mix Flip aims to set a new standard for foldable smartphones.
Xiaomi Mix Flip
Despite being Xiaomi’s debut clamshell foldable smartphone, the Mix Flip is packed with impressive features that could rival even the most seasoned competitors.
The 4.01-inch 120Hz AMOLED cover display boasts a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, making it highly visible even in bright outdoor conditions. Unlike other foldable phones, Xiaomi’s cover display supports over 200 apps, and you can type with a full-size on-screen keyboard. With its edge-to-edge design, you can personalize the display with various animated wallpapers.
When unfolded, the 6.86-inch 1.5K AMOLED display offers a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz and also reaches 3,000 nits of peak brightness, providing a vibrant and immersive viewing experience.
Powering the Mix Flip is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for fast and efficient performance. Even with its slim design, Xiaomi has incorporated a 3D vapor chamber and a double-layer graphite layer on the hinge to enhance heat dissipation.
Leica Co-Engineered Camera System
The Mix Flip stands out with its dual-camera setup on the cover, featuring a 50MP main camera with the Light Fusion 800 sensor and a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. For selfies, users can either rely on the 32MP in-display selfie camera when unfolded or use the main camera for even sharper shots while the phone is closed.
The Xiaomi Mix Flip is powered by a 4,780mAh battery, which supports 67W HyperCharge via USB-C. This battery capacity is quite generous for a flip phone, surpassing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, which only has a 4,400mAh battery. Additionally, the Mix Flip comes with stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and WiFi 7 support, ensuring top-notch connectivity and audio quality.
At 192g and measuring 15.99mm when folded (or 7.8mm unfolded), the Xiaomi Mix Flip is slim and lightweight for a foldable device. However, it lacks an IP rating for dust and water resistance, which is a feature offered by some competitors like the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
