Xiaomi MIX Flip: Lightweight and Portable, Unlocking a New Folding Experience

Xiaomi MIX Flip, a small foldable screen phone, pursues extreme thinness and portability in design. When folded, it is only the size of a palm, weighs as light as 192g, and has a thickness of only 7.6mm (glass version). It is 19g lighter and 2.7mm narrower than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, setting a new standard for portability.

In terms of appearance, Xiaomi MIX Flip offers four classic colors: black, white, phantom purple, and Xiaomi phoenix feather fiber version, catering to the aesthetic needs of different users. The black glass version uses a sandblasted AG process, providing a delicate and smooth feel that doesn't attract fingerprints. The white version adopts a sparkling sand process, making it more dynamic. The phantom purple also uses a sparkling sand process, showcasing a stylish look. The Xiaomi phoenix feather fiber version uses "nylon 66" as the base material, and through precise weaving and vacuum coating, it exhibits a rhythmic color transition.

In terms of the screen, Xiaomi MIX Flip adopts a 4.01-inch multi-functional oversized external screen and a 6.86-inch inner screen. The external screen uses a fully equal-depth micro-curved design, resembling a piece of black jade when turned off and displaying stunning visual effects when lit. The inner screen uses UTG ultra-thin flexible glass, providing excellent display quality and durability.

In terms of performance, Xiaomi MIX Flip is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, delivering powerful performance. To enhance the overall heat dissipation performance, the phone fills the VC "step" position with aerogel material, a first in the thermal system design of foldable screen phones. This effectively isolates heat generated from the SoC, improving the user experience when touching the screen under high loads.

In terms of reliability, Xiaomi MIX Flip adopts the Xiaomi Dragon Armor architecture, providing users with strong performance assurance and higher reliability. With SGS high-reliability folding quality gold standard certification, the phone is more durable and safer during daily use.

In terms of imaging, Xiaomi MIX Flip is equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera and a telephoto lens. The main camera has an aperture of F1.7, supports floating focus, and has a minimum focusing distance of only 9cm. The front camera is 32 megapixels and supports autofocus. This camera configuration not only performs well in hardware but also enhances the overall shooting experience through Xiaomi Imaging Brain 3.0 (Xiaomi AISP) and Master Portrait features.

In terms of image creation, Xiaomi MIX Flip's photo album editing tools integrate AI, adding one-sentence video creation and AI image features. Users just need to say a command to Xiao Ai, and it will automatically extract material from the phone's photo album to generate a customized Vlog. AI also supports adding music, applying filters, adjusting styles, and other operations for videos, helping users easily create high-quality video content.

In terms of battery life, Xiaomi MIX Flip has a built-in 4780mAh Xiaomi Jinshajiang battery and utilizes Xiaomi's most advanced silicon negative electrode technology, achieving an energy density as high as 780Wh/L. This allows Xiaomi MIX Flip to maintain a thin design while having a large battery capacity. Additionally, 67W Xiaomi Pengpai wired rapid charging and Xiaomi Pengpai battery management system ensure charging speed and battery life.

In terms of AI, the newly upgraded Xiao Ai on the phone supports multi-modal capabilities, enabling content summarization, question-and-answer interaction, and intelligent editing. Users can easily complete content processing of various formats like PPT, PDF, Doc, as well as image description and editing, through conversations with Xiao Ai. Additionally, Xiao Ai supports real-time text transcription, automatic speaker recognition, and recording summary generation, further enhancing work and life convenience.
