Xiaomi has unleashed its latest clamshell foldable, the Mix Flip 2, and this sleek successor to last year’s Mix Flip refines the formula with a sharper design, beefier specs, as well as a battery that outmuscles its rivals.
At just 7.57mm thin when unfolded and a mere 199 grams, the Mix Flip 2 feels like it could vanish into your pocket. Its matte metal frame and a fancy “Dragon Bone” hinge—Xiaomi’s term for a clever three-link, four-floating-plate setup—make it tough yet refined, with a crease so subtle you’d need a microscope to spot it. The company claims the 6.86-inch flexible glass display holds up after 200,000 folds, keeping that screen smooth and pristine. The 4.01-inch AMOLED cover display, with its crisp 1392 x 1208 resolution and buttery 120Hz refresh rate, is practically a second phone, perfect for quick tasks without flipping open the device. “We’ve built a foldable that’s as durable as it is elegant,” Xiaomi says, and it’s hard to argue.

This phone’s got style for days. With four color options and accessories like a camera grip that turns it into a retro instant-print shooter or a case that moonlights as a chic handbag, the Mix Flip 2 is as much a fashion piece as a gadget. Its ultra-thin 50μm glass and gently curved screen make it feel seamless, whether folded shut or spread wide.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip keeps things blazing fast, paired with zippy LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The 6.86-inch LTPO AMOLED main screen, with a 2912 x 1224 resolution, 120Hz refresh, and a blinding 3200 nits of brightness, looks stunning even under harsh sunlight. The 4-inch outer display matches that smoothness and clarity, making it more than just a glorified notification panel. “We wanted a foldable that doesn’t skimp on power or visuals,” Xiaomi notes, and they’ve nailed it. A dual vapor chamber keeps the phone cool during marathon gaming or editing sessions, so it never breaks a sweat.
Battery life is where the Mix Flip 2 really flexes. Its 5,165mAh battery dwarfs the competition—take that, Galaxy Z Flip 7’s rumored 4,100mAh. Xiaomi’s GSR tech squeezes every drop of juice out of it, and with 67W wired or 50W wireless charging, you’re back in action fast. “We’ve redefined what a compact foldable can do,” Xiaomi claims, and that massive battery proves it.
The cameras, tuned with Leica’s magic touch, step up big time. Gone is the old 1x + 2x setup; now you’ve got dual 50MP rear lenses—a 23mm f/1.7 wide-angle with a beefy OV50E sensor and a 14mm f/2.2 ultrawide that doubles as a 5cm macro shooter. The results are sharp, vivid, and unmistakably Leica. A 32MP front camera handles selfies, but you can also use the main cameras with the outer display as a viewfinder for pro-grade self-portraits. “Every shot’s a keeper,” Xiaomi says of their Leica collab, and the photos back it up.
Priced at CNY 5,999 (about $850) in China, with options up to 1TB of storage, this phone’s a bargain for the tech it packs. The catch? It’s China-only for now, leaving global fans crossing their fingers for a wider release. Importers might be your only hope, but if Xiaomi’s past is any clue, this gem could hit more markets soon.
