In a world where smartphone innovation never stops, Xiaomi is preparing to join the ranks of Huawei, Samsung, Motorola, OPPO and Vivo with its own vertical foldable screen phone, the Xiaomi MIX Flip. Anticipation for this device is growing, and recent reports suggest that the device has officially appeared in the IMEI database with the model number 2311BPN23C, scheduled for release by the end of the year. This intriguing addition belongs to Xiaomi’s N8 series, following the naming convention of the previous digital MIX series.

Xiaomi MIX Flip is designed for a niche market focused on light entertainment and targeting female users. While that means it can’t compete at the top of the market, Xiaomi could potentially surprise us with the inclusion of Snapdragon 8 Gen2 or 8+ Gen1 chipsets that offer an impressive combination of performance and style.

With this latest entry into the foldable phone world, Xiaomi aims to meet the growing demand for versatile and stylish devices that can adapt to different user needs. All eyes will be on it throughout the year to see how Xiaomi has brought a unique twist to the competitive foldable smartphone market.
