Xiaomi Mix Flip spotted in IMEI database, design renders leaked: All details
Xiaomi Mix Flip is expected to launch alongside the Mix Fold 4, making it the company’s first clamshell foldable smartphone. The Chinese phone maker recently launched the Mix Fold 3 but is yet to officially announce a Flip model. Now, the Xiaomi Mix Flip has reportedly been spotted on the IMEI database, hinting at its imminent launch. Design renders of the alleged Xiaomi clamshell foldable phone have also leaked earlier. The phone is expected to come as a notable rival to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5.
An ITHome report spotted the Xiaomi Mix Flip has been found on the IMEI database with the model number 2311BPN23C. In the screenshot shared on the Korean tech news website, the Mix Flip moniker seems to have been confirmed, which was also tipped earlier.
The Xiaomi Mix Flip is said to be very thin and light, compared to other current clamshell models. Notably, the Mix Fold 3 is expected to be thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 5.
An earlier GSMChina report suggested the possible design images of the Xiaomi Mix Flip, which the publication claimed to have compiled based on certain factory leaks. The alleged handset is said to feature a triple camera setup on the back, with the third camera offering 3x zoom capability. A front-facing camera is seen with a centered hole-punch slot at the top of the primary display.
Like most flagship phones expected to launch in 2024, the Xiaomi Mix Flip is said to be powered by a yet-to-be-announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It would be a strong rival to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and features dual 12-megapixel camera sensors on the rear and a 10-megapixel camera sensor on the front.
