Xiaomi is a manufacturer that has been betting on folding mobile phones for several years. In fact, they have already launched three generations of the Xiaomi Mix Fold and more and more folding phones are being sold in their home country, China.

However, until now all foldable phones were of the “Fold” type, meaning they folded like a book. This is about to change with the new Xiaomi Mix Flipand the company has teased its first official details, including its processor, camera, and large external display. The world of foldable devices is set to receive a very interesting proposition.

These are the first details of the Xiaomi Mix Flip

The Xiaomi Mix Flip has a 4.01-inch external screen with a resolution of 1.5K and a maximum brightness level of 1,600 nits, and an interface adapted for this panel, more square and smaller than the main one.

Foldable clamshell phones fascinate me much more than the “Fold” ones, because although I know how tempting it can be to carry a mobile phone that can “transform” into an almost 8″ tablet in your pocket, I find it much more interesting and even exciting a possibility. Carrying a traditional-sized smartphone that can be made more compactYou can continue to use it even when it’s closed. And according to its first details, the Xiaomi Mix Flip promises to be versatile when closed, making it a very interesting competitor to phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Motorola Razr Ultra and OPPO Find Flip.

Xiaomi will now introduce the new Xiaomi Mix Flip Friday July 19th It will arrive in China at 7 p.m., but it is not yet known when it will arrive in Spain and other parts of the world.
