Back in September of last year we first heard that Xiaomi was working on a flip-style foldable to complement the Mix Fold line in its portfolio. This was to be called Xiaomi Mix Flip, and it was rumored to arrive alongside the Mix Fold 4 at some point later this year.
Today, the Mix Flip has been certified in China by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The certification reveals what might be a surprising fact: the Mix Flip will have support for satellite connectivity.
The fact that it’s going to be running Android is also confirmed, as is its 5G support, but neither of those are surprising revelations of course. While this certification doesn’t reveal any of the device’s specs, a couple of those have already been leaked in the past.
It’s said to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a triple camera setup like Oppo’s Find N3 Flip, with a 3x telephoto no less. Hopefully the Mix Flip borrows from the Mix Fold line’s slimness. Unfortunately, it might also borrow the availability limited to just China. Let’s wait and see.
