The latest rumors confirm that Xiaomi is working on a mysterious new folding smartphone.
It seems that at the end of this year the Chinese brand will launch a Mix Flip, or so to speak, its first foldable, in clamshell format.
Xiaomi’s new foldable smartphone could be the brand’s first clamshell-shaped smartphone
Several sources had already anticipated that Xiaomi would be working on a new folding smartphone. But now the Digital Chat Station leaker begins to reveal some of the secrets of the new terminal.
According to the well-known leaker, the model, for now called N7, could be the first folding smartphone with the brand’s casing format. Digital Chat Station goes further and states that the commercial name of this model could even be Mix Flip.
This model will then mean the entry of the Chinese brand into the world of folding casings, since until now Xiaomi has only offered Fold-style flexible screen models, unlike its direct rivals Samsung, OPPO and Motorola.
The same leaker claims that both this Flip foldable smartphone and the upcoming Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro flagships will be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
Other news related to Xiaomi advances that the brand can advance the launch of the next Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It should be remembered that the model usually reaches the Chinese market in spring and the global market, in the case of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, at the beginning of summer.
The reason for this anticipation is related to the fact that Xiaomi wants to compete more directly and earlier with the rival Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra which, by tradition, is always released in the second month (February) of each year.
