Xiaomi is now promoting its latest device, the Mix Flip 2, as a strong competitor to the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, which until now has been the sole Android smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in a clamshell design.

Battery and Features

The Mix Flip 2 boasts a bigger battery and quicker wireless charging compared to its rival. Additionally, it offers the ability to record videos in 8K at 24 frames per second, a feature that the Motorola model lacks. Another unique offering with the Flip 2 is its own photo printer, something the new Razr Ultra does not provide.

Photo Printing Convenience

The Flip 2 comes with a 15 Ultra Photography Kit, designed to work with the smartphone, allowing users to print high-quality images of up to 50MP. The price set by Xiaomi for each print is 2 yuan (approximately $0.30), whereas Polaroid photo paper typically costs around 5 yuan (about $0.70) per sheet in China, if you can find it.

Pricing and Technology

The Pocket Photo Kit has been launched at a price of 699 yuan (around $98) and includes a USB-C port as well as a physical shutter button for ease of use. Just like the original Mix Flip, which is available on AliExpress, this version utilizes ZINK sublimation technology instead of traditional ink. This time, it also features Leica watermarks, but whether it can reach the quality of Polaroid prints is still uncertain.
