Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Launches Early with Key Specs Leaked

In July, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi Mix Flip, marking its first venture into flip-style foldable smartphones. Reports indicate that the device received favorable reviews, leading the company to start work on its next version. A recent leak suggests that the Mix Flip 2 could be launched sooner than anticipated in China.

Expected Launch Date for Mix Flip 2

According to a leak from Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is expected to be released in the first half of 2025. The source mentioned that the successful sales of the original model have encouraged a significant upgrade for the upcoming version.

Specifications of the New Model

The first Mix Flip is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Digital Chat Station claims that its successor will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This model aims to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7, which may be the only other flip-style foldable phone using the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset on the market.

New Features and Improvements

Another post by DCS on Weibo indicates that the Mix Flip 2 will support wireless charging, a feature that was not present in the first model. Additionally, while the original Mix Flip lacked an IP rating, the new version is anticipated to have an IPX8 rating. It is said to be thinner and more adaptable than its predecessor.

In August, the Mix Flip 2 was reportedly found with model numbers 2505APX7BC and 2505APX7BG in the GSMA IMEI database. Though the device’s name was not listed, speculation suggests that these numbers represent the Chinese and global variants of the Mix Flip 2.

The EEC authority has recently given the green light for the global version of the Mix Flip 2, signaling its upcoming release in European markets. However, aside from the processor details, no further specifications for the Mix Flip 2 have been disclosed. In China, several flip-style foldable phones come with batteries around 4,800mAh capacity. Given the trend of larger battery sizes in flagship phones, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Mix Flip 2 equipped with a battery of over 5,000mAh.
