Xiaomi has grown tired of playing half measures. It’s launched its first clamshell foldable phone , and it didn’t come to look, it came to sweep. This incredible phone combines power, premium design, top-notch photography, and lightning-fast charging … and now you can get it for half the price.
Foldable phones are no longer the stuff of science fiction or even the stuff of deep pockets. With the Xiaomi MIX Flip, the Chinese brand has hit the nail on the head: compact design, high-end performance, and a groundbreaking price. It’s beautiful, it’s a beast on the inside, and with its useful external screen and luxurious body, it has everything it needs to lead the flip phone market.
We’re talking about a device that packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, a 50MP camera, a 4,500mAh battery, and 67W ultra-fast charging. All of that in a body that fits in the palm of your hand… and in the pocket of your tightest pants.
Flagship performance, dual screens, and all-day battery life
The Xiaomi MIX Flip isn’t just another foldable device. It comes with the best you can get right now: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0. This means it opens apps like lightning, runs heavy games without breaking a sweat, and can handle multitasking without a hitch.
Its 6.8-inch AMOLED main screen, with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a brightness of up to 3,000 nits, is a joy for watching videos, playing games, or working. But beware, its 4-inch external screen also offers a lot of play: you can use it to preview photos, respond to notifications, or control music without even opening the phone. Real functionality, not just posturing.
The 4,500mAh battery lasts a full day without a problem, and its 67W fast charge gives you the juice you need in just 40 minutes. Charge it in the morning while you brush your teeth? Done. Ready for the whole day.
50 MP camera and design that steals glances (and hearts)
The photography department is also strong: a 50 MP Sony IMX800 main sensor with OIS, accompanied by a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle lens, results in sharp, bright, and well-balanced photos even at night. It’s a phone with compact camera quality, perfect for social media, portraits, or vacation landscapes without having to carry extra equipment.
And, of course, the design is out of this world. It features a premium polished aluminum finish, a reinforced hinge, and a fold so smooth you’ll want to fold it like a pro (spoiler: it can withstand up to 500,000 folds). Plus, it’s one of the thinnest folding cases on the market when closed, making it the perfect companion for both events and everyday use.
The Xiaomi MIX Flip is proof that you can have a premium design, brutal power, a 50 MP camera, and a foldable display without breaking the bank. And now, with this price drop, there’s no excuse not to jump into the future. Because yes, the future is now folding.
