The Mix Flip, Xiaomi’s first even clamshell flip phone, has officially arrived in Malaysia.

The Xiaomi Mix Flip is only offered in a single variant outside of China. Here’s the official pricing in Malaysia:

Xiaomi Mix Flip Specs and Features
Although the Mix Flip is Xiaomi’s first attempt at a clamshell foldable smartphone, the device seems to tick all the right boxes. For starters, the cover gets 4.01″ 120Hz AMOLED panel which boasts a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. Xiaomi wants you to make full use of the cover display as it supports over 200 apps and you can type on it with a full-size on-screen keyboard.
With an edge-to-edge wallpaper, you can customise the cover display to your heart’s content and there are several cute animated covers to choose from. When unfolded, the Mix Flip offers a tall 6.86″ 1.5K AMOLED panel which offers a 1-120Hz variable refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness.
As you would expect from a flagship device, the Xiaomi MIX Flip runs on top-of-the-line hardware including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Despite being a slim device, Xiaomi has managed to fit a 3D vapour chamber with a double-layer graphite layer on the hinge to ensure improved thermal efficiency.
In the camera department, the Mix Flip features a dual-camera setup on the cover which consists of a 50MP main camera with Light Fusion 800 sensor and a secondary 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. If you prefer to take selfies while unfolded, there’s a 32MP in-display selfie camera.
Powering the Mix Flip is a large 4,780mAh battery which supports 67W HyperCharge charging via USB-C. The battery capacity is pretty generous for a flip phone considering the larger Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 only comes with a 4,400mAh unit. The device has stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and support for WiFi 7. Perhaps the only drawback of the Mix Flip when compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is the lack of dust and water resistance rating.
Overall, the Xiaomi Mix Flip weighs 192g and has a thickness of 15.99mm when folded or 7.8mm when unfolded.
