A plot twist happened at the Xiaomi 14T series launch event in Malaysia, as Xiaomi Malaysia’s PR Manager Adam Farid pulled out a flip foldable to take selfies with the audience on stage, the highly anticipated Xiaomi MIX Flip has gone official in Malaysia.
The Z Flip6 challenger has a lot to impress as a flip foldable phone, including a larger 4.01-inch cover display that has its dual camera array arranged vertically on the side, while having a specific area for running apps in a 16:9 aspect ratio, a widget corner for showing weather updates and more, but most importantly, its Leica co-engineered 50MP wide and 50MP telephoto cameras could be the best cameras you can find on a flip phone today.
Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Xiaomi MIX Flip expands into a 6.86-inch slab phone when unfolded, while its display boasts a peak brightness of 3000 nits and 120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi’s flip foldable boasts a large 4780mAh battery with support for 67W fast wired charging, though one thing it loses out to the competition is the lack of water resistance, wireless charging and its USB 2.0 port.
The Xiaomi MIX Flip is sold in a single storage variant of 12GB RAM+512GB Storage for RM4999, available in colors of Purple and Black, the company is offering a generous number of goodies when you purchase the phone, including a free Xiaomi Watch S3, 6 months 100GB Google One, 4-month Spotify Premium subscription, 2-year warranty and most attractively, a free 1-time out of warranty repair, which gives owners less worrisome in case of any break downs after the warranty period.
