The Mix Flip marks the brand’s first foray into the clamshell flip format, bringing some distinct advantages to the table over the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Motorola RAZR 50 Ultra. Meanwhile, budget options like the Nubia Flip 5G are also making waves, driving down the price and barrier to entry to flip phones and foldables at large.
While Xiaomi's coming out of the gate swinging with its Mix Flip, it still falls short in some key areas on paper. There's no wireless charging or IP-rated water resistance, two features both Moto and Samsung flip phones offer. Xiaomi also ditches the ultra-wide camera in favor of a telephoto camera, and the cover screen's tall format supports fewer apps than the competition.
