Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Official Release
Foldable phone fans, rejoice! Xiaomi has officially unveiled its latest clamshell-style foldable phone — the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 — and it’s here to shake up the game. With top-tier specs, innovative design, and an aggressive price, Xiaomi is clearly aiming to dethrone Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 before it even hits global shelves.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Mix Flip 2: from specs and features to price and a head-to-head comparison with the Z Flip 7.
Cutting-Edge Design and Features
Dragon Bone Hinge: Built to Last
Xiaomi equips the Mix Flip 2 with its latest Dragon Bone hinge, designed to endure up to 200,000 folds. That means if you flip it open 100 times daily, the hinge could easily last over five years. The design minimizes the crease on the main display and makes the device feel sturdier during use.
Dual Vapor Chamber Cooling
Unlike many foldables that struggle with heat, the Mix Flip 2 features a dual vapor chamber cooling system. This helps the device maintain stable performance even during gaming, video editing, or other demanding tasks.
Displays That Mean Business
- Main screen: 6.9-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 3,200 nits peak brightness, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support. Perfect for vibrant media consumption.
- Cover screen: A generous 4.01-inch display that supports over 500 apps — you can reply to messages, control music, or check maps without opening the phone.
Leica-Enhanced Cameras
In partnership with Leica, the dual-camera configuration for the Mix Flip 2 was developed:
- 50MP main sensor
- Ultra-wide or macro secondary lens
Xiaomi promises sharper images, more natural colors, and a unique portrait mode experience with Leica’s signature style.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: The Showdown
Display & Hinge
The Mix Flip 2 has a larger main display (6.9″ compared to the rumored 6.7″ of the Z Flip 7), as well as a much larger, more functional cover screen. While Samsung’s Z Flip 7 will likely have a slightly slimmer, more pocket-friendly build, Xiaomi wins on cover screen utility and innovation with its Dragon Bone hinge.
Cameras
Samsung typically relies on software magic with dual 12MP cameras, while Xiaomi brings Leica-tuned 50MP hardware to the table. Mix Flip 2 is designed for those who prefer true-to-life images straight from the camera, not heavily processed shots.
Performance
Both foldables pack the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. However, Xiaomi goes further with options up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, compared to Samsung’s expected 12GB/512GB max.
Battery & Charging
67W wired and 50W wireless charging are available for the Mix Flip 2’s enormous 5,165mAh battery, which sets a record for clamshell foldables. Meanwhile, the Z Flip 7 is expected to stick with a smaller 3,700–3,900mAh battery and slower charging.
Size & Handling
Samsung will likely continue to dominate the ultra-compact foldable niche, but Xiaomi offers more display real estate and longer battery life in exchange for slightly larger dimensions.
Price and Availability
🇨🇳 China Pricing
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 launched in China at shockingly affordable prices:
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage: CN¥5,999 (~$825 / ~Rp13 million)
- 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage: CN¥6,499 (about $895 and Rp14 million)
- 16GB RAM + 1TB storage: CN¥7,499 (~$1,030 / ~Rp16 million)
Expected Global Price
When (or if) the Mix Flip 2 lands globally, expect prices to rise due to taxes and import fees — likely around $1,100–$1,200 or Rp15–17 million for Southeast Asia. That’s still hundreds of dollars less than what Samsung typically charges for its foldables.
Availability
As of June 26, 2025, sales of the Mix Flip 2 have already started in China. A wider launch may follow in 2–3 months, if Xiaomi’s track record with global releases holds.
Final Thoughts
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is a serious contender in the foldable space. It delivers:
A large, functional cover display
Flagship-level cameras with Leica optics
Massive battery and fast charging
More options for RAM and storage at a lower price
If you want cutting-edge foldable tech without paying a Samsung premium, the Mix Flip 2 is hard to ignore. Will it flip the foldable market on its head? Time will tell — but Samsung definitely has reason to worry.
