Xiaomi has launched the Xiaomi MIX Flip, the company’s first clamshell foldable smartphone. Although it entered the market later than its competitors, it comes with flagship-grade specs and several interesting innovations.
Xiaomi MIX Flip stands out with its luxurious design. It uses a shiny, lightweight metal frame. It is available with a choice of a full-depth curved glass back cover with 4 curves and a beautiful woven nylon back cover.

The hinge has been certified for durability by SGS Grade A+, can be folded up to 500,000 times, can adjust the folding angle from 45 to 120 degrees, suitable for taking pictures from various angles.
