The competition in the foldable phone market is heating up as the highly anticipated Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is set to launch this month, directly challenging Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7. 
While Samsung’s foldable flagship won’t hit the market until July, Xiaomi is stepping up to the plate earlier, giving the Mix Flip 2 a head start.
Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mix Flip 2 will be unveiled in June, although the exact announcement date remains unknown. The teaser for the phone simply confirms that the event will take place this month. However, there’s a catch – the Mix Flip 2 will initially launch in China, with a global release likely to follow later, possibly after the Galaxy Z Flip 7 makes its debut.
Let’s dive into the Mix Flip 2’s rumored specs to see if it’s truly a worthy competitor to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Both phones are expected to feature large 6.85-inch internal displays. The Mix Flip 2’s screen boasts a 1.5K resolution with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a feature shared with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Both devices are also powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring top-tier performance.
Where the Mix Flip 2 stands out is its battery life. While the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to have a 4,200 mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, the Mix Flip 2 is said to sport a massive 5,100 mAh battery, supporting 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. This significant advantage could make the Mix Flip 2 a better option for users who prioritize battery longevity.
Another advantage of the Mix Flip 2 is its camera setup. The device is expected to feature a dual-camera system, including a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Additionally, it will have an IPX8 rating, meaning it’s resistant to water, a feature that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to lack.
While these are the key details we know about the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2, it’s likely that more information will be revealed as the launch event approaches. Stay tuned for more updates as Xiaomi prepares to make waves in the foldable phone market.
