    Why Xiaomi Delayed the Mix Flip Release: Key Reasons Explained

    Xiaomi plans to introduce the Xiaomi Mix Flip alongside the Mix Fold 4 on July 19. Despite this, other competitors have been offering clamshell foldables for some time. Today, the company’s CEO shared why Xiaomi has yet to release such a device. According to him, the product "will not be released until it is ready."

    Lei Jun shared a video today, showcasing the internal design of several MIX Flip prototypes and explaining the delay in the Xiaomi clamshell foldable’s launch. Below are images of the prototypes for reference.

    Prototype Insights

    The first prototype featured a triangular camera deco with a small display. Although the design was unique, Xiaomi decided to cancel it due to the small display’s lack of practicality, as it was only suitable for message reminders.

    In another prototype, a circular outer screen was integrated with the camera module. Xiaomi intended to offer a smartwatch-like UI for this screen. However, this idea was rejected because its functionality overlapped with that of a smartwatch.

    A more recent prototype had a significantly larger external screen with cameras placed on the opposite side. There was also a button located at the top of the right frame of the outer screen. This prototype was rejected because it was impractical to use the rear camera for selfies.

    Overcoming Limitations

    Finally, Xiaomi has managed to address all these issues. The final design, which the company has officially revealed, features a large external display with narrow and nearly uniform bezels on all sides. It also includes two circular cutouts for the rear camera setup.
