Captain LagbeardXiaomi’s upcoming Mix Flip 2 just passed 3C certification in China. With 67W charging, a bigger battery, and global launch hints, here’s everything you need to know!
Alright folks, it looks like Xiaomi is flipping the script again—literally—with their next-gen foldable, the Mix Flip 2. After last year’s launch of the original Mix Flip, the sequel is now officially in the works. How do we know? Because it just got certified by China’s 3C regulatory body—basically the red carpet of approvals before a phone hits shelves (Source).
And what juicy detail did that certification reveal? Drumroll… it’ll come with 67W wired charging—the same as last year’s model. So, if you were expecting some NASA-level hypercharging speed, well… not this time. But hey, 67W is still no joke. You can go from dead battery to near-full in the time it takes to make a cup of noodles.
Now here’s the fun part: the original Mix Flip got its 3C nod in May 2024, and since history loves to repeat itself, the Mix Flip 2 might get its grand reveal this May, at least in China.
But don’t start learning Mandarin just yet—the Mix Flip 2 is rumored to go global, just like its older sibling. It’s already been certified in Europe, so your chances of flipping one open outside Asia are looking pretty darn good!
What Else Is in the Fold?
Although 3C certification didn’t spill all the tea, leakers have been busy. Rumors say the Mix Flip 2 will come with a 5,100 mAh battery (huge!), IPX8 water resistance (splash fights, anyone?), and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite chip under the hood. All of this wrapped up in a sleek 7.6 mm unfolded body that only weighs 190g.
And now for a surprise twist: Xiaomi might ditch the telephoto lens from the original and give us a 50 MP ultrawide camera instead. That’s great if you love taking photos of wide landscapes, big group selfies—or, like me, accidentally catching your cat mid-yawn in the background of every shot.
Why I Might Flip for This Phone
Honestly, I’ve always wanted a foldable. Last year, I saw someone casually open their phone like it was a sci-fi communicator from Star Trek, and I’ve never been the same. Meanwhile, I’m still rocking a chunky old phone that looks like it came with Tetris pre-installed.
Plus, I once dropped my phone in a puddle trying to take a selfie with my dog. If this new Mix Flip 2 truly has IPX8 water resistance, then yes, Xiaomi, please take my money.
Final Thoughts
Xiaomi’s Mix Flip 2 might not be a massive leap in charging speed, but with a bigger battery, top-tier specs, and global availability, it’s definitely shaping up to be a foldable worth watching. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just someone who wants a phone that folds like a taco, this one’s got potential.
Stay tuned—May’s just around the corner!
