Xiaomi's first high-end clamshell foldable phone is doing surprisingly well in the market. It faces only a few rivals like Huawei's Pocket series in China and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr models globally.
Growing Competition
At the same time, the market is seeing an increase in affordable options from Nubia and Tecno, along with Huawei's new Nova Flip. This suggests that the demand for foldable devices is gaining traction among consumers.
Future Releases
As a result, the arrival of the "Mix Flip 2" appears to be likely, according to the well-informed source, Digital Chat Station. On the other hand, Vivo seems to be taking a cautious approach, as they are planning to halt the X Flip for at least another year, pushing that to 2025.
Shifting Focus
Moreover, there are indications that OPPO might follow suit with the much-anticipated successor to the Find N3 Flip, which looks quite similar. It seems that both companies may be prioritizing other devices, like the X200 Pro Mini and Find X8, which are traditional smartphones with smaller sizes.
Digital Chat Station shared these insights via Weibo.
