Xiaomi once again amazes the smartphone world with the announcement of its first foldable device, Xiaomi Mix Flip, ready to conquer the global markets after the success achieved in China. This bold move comes at a crucial time for the company, which has temporarily surpassed Apple in the ranking of smartphone manufacturers.
Xiaomi Mix Flip Goes Global: Release Date
According to Lei Jun, CEO of the company, Xiaomi Mix Flip Global to debut this September. This means that the sale will start in early October, probably with an early bird offer. And we already know that will arrive in Europe! This is not a given since the term “Global” often refers to the Indian market as well.
Xiaomi MIX Flip Key Specs and Price
The Mix Flip stands out for its eye-catching design and high-level technical specifications. With a 4 inch external display, a internal 6,86 inches with 1.5K resolution and powerful processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, this smartphone promises exceptional performance in a compact and flexible format. But the real surprise lies in the battery from 4.780 mAh, an extraordinary capacity for a foldable device, even superior to that of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The photographic sector includes a double rear camera with a Leica Light Hunter 800 sensor from 50 megapixel and an OV60A40 sensor from 50 megapixel with telephoto lens. The front camera, on the other hand, is 32 megapixel, ideal for high-quality selfies.
Further details on the launch are expected soon, probably in conjunction with the Xiaomi 14T series debut and Google's new Circle to Search feature. However, it seems that the launch price is €1299. This strategic move demonstrates Xiaomi's commitment to strengthening its presence in global markets, especially in Europe.
As we mentioned, the announcement of the Mix Flip comes at a time when Xiaomi has temporarily overtaken Apple, becoming the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world thanks to a 22% annual growth. However, with the upcoming launch of the new iPhone, this situation is likely to change rapidly. In the meantime, Samsung has reaffirmed itself as the undisputed market leader, despite growing competition. But for how long?
