The Xiaomi Mix Flip, despite being the Chinese company’s first flip-style foldable phone, is quite an enticing flagship-class device. Not only does it have Leica cameras, it is also powered by the fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 packaged in a sleek, stylish (and durable) foldable form factor.
Design is really one of the main highlights of the Mix Flip. Its hinge, for one, can withstand over 500,000 folds without issue. It also passed several tests for durability, including the SGS Human Factors Folding and SGS High-Reliability Folding Quality assessments, where it received the Premium Performance Mark scoring in both tests.
Basically, you won’t have to worry about the quality of the hinge.
It’s also worth noting that the build quality of the Mix Flip itself is solid. Not only does it have a sleek glass back with a textured matte finish, it also features a high-strength 6M42 aluminum alloy frame. Not only does it look great, it also feels great in the hands.
Now, if you’re ever in a situation where you need to use a tripod to snap your shots, well, you don’t have to do that anymore with the Mix Flip. After all, the foldable nature of the phone lets you angle it for super low-angle shots or a group selfie. Yes, the hinge is more than solid enough to hold the phone in different angles.
Next, we have the display of the Mix Flip – or rather, displays. On the front, there’s an expansive 4.01-inch 392 x 1208 AMOLED cover screen, which is very eye-catching. The panel’s 120Hz refresh rate also lends to excellent motion clarity, and it’s protected by Xiaomi Shield Glass too, making it just as durable as the rest of the phone.
Not only is it durable, the Mix Flip’s cover screen is functional as well, thanks to the Xiaomi HyperOS software. You can access various apps from the compact screen itself, including YouTube, Google Maps, Instagram, and Facebook. Oh, the cover display has several dynamic lock screens to choose from too, which feature a number of cute pets – our personal favourite is the cat.
As for the inner foldable display, the Mix Flip sports a 6.86-inch 2912 x 1224 CrystalRes AMOLED panel with 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It also has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, so outdoor visibility won’t be an issue.
Of course, the performance of the Mix Flip is also worth a mention. Just like other noteworthy flagship smartphones in the market now, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is more than fast enough to provide seamless gaming experience and smooth user experience. Paired with a generous 4,780mAh battery – complete with fast 67W charging – it can easily provide all-day battery life.
Last but certainly not least is the dual camera system of the Mix Flip that is equipped with Leica Summilux optical lens. Naturally, both the 50MP main sensor and 50MP floating telephoto camera can capture great-looking shots with vibrant colours and wide dynamic range. Just look at these sample shots:
