Galaxy Z Flip smartphones have been around for years, but few serious alternatives exist in the foldable segment. Not anymore if you’re buying the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2; a foldable, powerful smartphone with fantastic screen and brilliant battery life that makes light of these problems. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite, the core, Mix Flip 2 is now the fastest flip phone on the market and an unparalleled experience for endurance and high end users.
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 starts at 870 euros in the original, for import, and sticks out for a continuous battery life of almost 20 hours, which “supposedly” allows for plenty of intense usage over a few days without a charge. This makes it perfect for those wanting a top tier foldable device without sacrificing battery life.
The 6.86-inch folding display might be a warning sign for some but the Mix Flip 2 actually provides a surprisingly seamless daily driver experience. While the crease in the inner display is still there, it is hardly a usability issue; the phone is usable for day-to-day tasks.
Design of Xiaomi Mix Flip 2
The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is a capable performer and has serious endurance, but the way it looks folded up still leaves much to be desired. At just under 16mm, the Mix Flip 2 feels thick and wide relative to more svelte foldables like the Vivo X Fold 5 or Oppo Find N5. However, mostly, today, flip phones are similarly sized, so the Mix Flip 2 would not be out of place for its class.
What Buyers Should Know
That said, potential buyers should note that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is only launch in the China market for now. As a consequence, it has limited languages available, no support for eSIM, and unclear on the updates policy. However, a global version is anticipated, which will need to meet EU regulations, and we would expect software updates on that to run until at least 2031.
In all, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 raises the bar for flip smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Elite performance, big battery life, and a premium foldable experience.
