Xiaomi’s clamshell foldable phone could be available globally
Xiaomi Mix Flip is said to be in the works as the Chinese tech brand’s first clamshell foldable phone. Xiaomi is yet to confirm its existence but the brand is apparently gearing up to launch the handset in global markets outside of China. An alleged listing of the phone on the IMEI database lends more credence to this rumor. It was spotted on the certification platform with model number 2405CPX3DG.

The “G” in the model number is said to stand for “global” and this points to the phone’s availability in international markets. Meanwhile, the Chinese variant of the Mix Flip has been certified with model number 2405CPX3DC.
If the rumors of a global launch for the Xiaomi Mix Flip turn out to be true, it would give fresh competition to the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Oppo Find N3 Flip, Motorola’s Razr 40 series, and more phones with vertical displays. It is scheduled to go official in global markets, with the exception of India and Japan. Previous additions to Xiaomi’s foldable lineup have all been exclusive to China.
