Xiaomi is getting ready to launch a new kind of smartphone that folds vertically, like a book. It’s called the Xiaomi MIX Flip, and it’s joining the club of big smartphone makers like Huawei, Samsung, Motorola, OPPO, and Vivo who have already ventured into this folding phone territory.
People have been eagerly waiting for the Xiaomi MIX Flip, and now we know it’s real because it’s shown up in the IMEI database with the name 2311BPN23C. Xiaomi plans to release it by the end of the year. This phone is part of Xiaomi’s N8 series, and it follows the naming style of their previous MIX digital series.
The Xiaomi MIX Flip has a particular audience in mind. It’s aimed at people who like light entertainment, and it’s designed with a focus on female users. This suggests that it might not be trying to compete with the very top-of-the-line phones, but Xiaomi could still surprise us by including a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen2 or 8+ Gen1 chipset, which would give it both performance and style.
With this new foldable phone, Xiaomi is trying to meet the demand for phones that are versatile and look good. People want devices that can change to fit their different needs. As the year goes on, we’ll be watching Xiaomi closely to see how they do in the competitive world of folding smartphones.
