Xiaomi Reportedly To Prep for 2024 With MIX Flip and MIX Fold 4 Smartphones

Highlights

• Xiaomi aims for a 2024 launch of its first flip-style foldable phone, MIX Flip.
• Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset expected to power the upcoming MIX Flip.
• A possible two-phase release strategy hinted for MIX Flip and MIX Fold 4 in 2024.
• Global availability of MIX Flip in question as only the Chinese model number surfaces.

In an exciting development, Xiaomi is reportedly prepping for a spectacular 2024 with the launch of its first-ever flip-style foldable phone, which is currently, in tech circles, being called as the MIX Flip.

A Chinese leaker, with a solid reputation in these matters, is reinforcing earlier leaks that had projected a 2024 release.

Interestingly, the MIX Flip won’t be Xiaomi’s only foldable phone in 2024; the company also plans to release the MIX Fold 4.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Across Both

According to leaks, the MIX Flip 4 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

This choice of processor seems in line with the industry trend, as other manufacturers planning foldable phone releases in 2024 are also speculated to employ this particular chipset.

A Sequential Launch Strategy?

The MIX Flip 4 and MIX Fold 4 are both earmarked for a 2024 launch.

However, the leaker suggests that the flip-style MIX Flip may hit the market before the MIX Fold 4, possibly indicating a two-phase launch strategy for Xiaomi in the first half of 2024.

Global Availability

While specifics about the MIX Flip are still shrouded in mystery, its appearance in the IMEI database has disclosed its model number for the Chinese version—2311BPN23C.

As of now, there’s no information regarding its global release, raising questions about whether this groundbreaking device will be confined to China or see an international rollout.

However, if past launches in the foldable category by Xiaomi are any indication, the chances of Mi Mix Fold and Flip series are unlikely to see the day outside the Chinese borders.
