Both devices are expected to offer competitive hardware at aggressive pricing, as Xiaomi continues to strengthen its position across multiple smartphone categories.
What to Expect From Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Globally?
While the initial launch will take place in China, Xiaomi is likely to bring the Mix Flip 2 to international markets, including Europe and select Asian regions. If the pricing is competitive, Xiaomi’s second-generation flip-style foldable may become a strong contender in the global foldable market where demand for compact foldable smartphones continues to grow rapidly.
