Xiaomi MIX Flip 2 Announced: Same Formula, But Better in Every Way

Xiaomi has just launched its latest flip phone, the MIX Flip 2, during its big announcement event. After weeks of teasing, the device is exactly what we expected, but with a lot of improvements that make it stand out in the foldable market. The MIX Flip 2 is available in four colors: Lattice Gold, Shell White, Nebula Purple, and Plum Green.

It comes in three different memory configurations: 12/256GB, 12/512GB, and a massive 16GB/1TB.

The MIX Flip 2 retains the sleek design of its predecessor, but Xiaomi has made key upgrades across the board. The hinge features an innovative three-link, four-float plate structure that ensures a flat fold and minimal creases. The cover screen is slightly bigger now, stretching further into its bezels with a 0.1-inch increase in size. Both screens support the P3 wide color gamut, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits. The cover screen can hit 120Hz touch sampling, while the inner screen goes all the way up to 300Hz.

Under the hood, the MIX Flip 2 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, with a dual vapor chamber cooling system. The device’s battery has been bumped up from last year’s 4,780mAh to a 5,165mAh pack, which supports both 67W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

On the camera front, Xiaomi has moved away from the 1x + 2x lens setup. The MIX Flip 2 features a 50MP wide-angle camera with a 23mm f/1.7 lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera with a 14mm f/2.2 lens, offering autofocus and 5cm macro capabilities. The front selfie camera comes in at 32MP with the ability to shoot 4K video.

Pricing for the MIX Flip 2 starts at CNY 5,999 (€715, £610, INR 71,600) for the 12/256GB version, CNY 6,499 (€775, £660, INR 77,600) for the 12/512GB model, and CNY 7,299 (€870, £742, INR 87,000) for the 16GB/1TB model. In the box, you’ll find a USB cable, a two-piece case, and the 67W charger. So, is the MIX Flip 2 the ultimate foldable phone for you? That depends on what you’re looking for in a smartphone. If you’re into foldables, Xiaomi has made sure this is a solid contender for 2025.
