The Xiaomi MIX Flip is the first “clamshell” foldable phone from the Chinese brand. This year, the company also launched the MIX Fold 4, a foldable phone with a book-like form factor. Both devices are expected to hit the global market this year. Now, Xiaomi has confirmed that the global launch of the MIX Flip is just a matter of days.
The Xiaomi MIX Flip offers a set of amazing specs and an eye-catching design. The foldable’s 4,780mAh battery is especially big, outperforming even the larger Galaxy Z Fold 6’s. The 4″ external display surrounded by narrow bezels reduces the need to open the device. Xiaomi didn’t skimp on power either, turning to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The global launch of the Xiaomi MIX Flip is around the corner
The company launched the phone in July in China, generating a lot of interest among the geek public. Since then, people in the global market have been eagerly awaiting it. Fortunately, the wait is about to end, as Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, officially confirmed that the MIX Flip’s global launch will happen this September. The post on X/Twitter does not offer a specific day for the event. However, more information about it will surely emerge in the coming days.
Excited to announce that #XiaomiMIXFlip will be coming to global markets this September. This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from our amazing Xiaomi Fans! #XiaomiLaunch https://t.co/AdCJGWX582

The announcement comes at a sweet time for the company. In August, Xiaomi surpassed Apple to become the second-largest smartphone brand in the world. One of the factors mentioned in the report is the brand’s increasing commitment to the premium segment, and the Xiaomi MIX Flip is part of that strategy. It’s worth noting that the global launch will probably not reach the United States since Xiaomi’s smartphones are not usually present in Uncle Sam’s land. However, many key markets in Europe, Asia, and Africa are expected to get it. This will more than likely heat up the competition in the clamshell phone market.
