That being said, the details we’ll talk about here have been shared by Digital Chat Station. He says that the phone’s main display will have very narrow bezels around it. The cover display, on the other hand, will be rather spacey and will have two cutouts for the two cameras.

The tipster added that the prototype model of the device has a battery capacity of 4,800mAh/4,900mAh. 67W wired charging is expected, and the charger will be included in the box.

What’s interesting is that Xiaomi seemingly plans to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside this phone. That is also something that the tipster mentioned. We were expecting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, or a MediaTek chip, but Xiaomi is going all out.

It seems like the company wants to position its first flip phone rather high on the food chain. It will stand right beside the upcoming book-style foldable from the company, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4.

Speaking of names, the company’s very first flip phone could be called the Xiaomi MIX Flip. It would make sense, as the book-style foldable is the Xiaomi MIX Fold. The company could, of course, mix things up, we’ll have to wait and see.

Now, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 launched back in August last year. The Xiaomi MIX Flip could arrive alongside the fourth-gen model this year, around August. Alternatively, it could launch sooner than that, in the first half of the year, as some rumors suggested. We can only guess at this point.
