Xiaomi remains mum about its rumored Mix Flip, but it seems the company’s very own CEO is now using it.
That’s according to a photograph shared online showing Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun holding a foldable device in one hand. The handheld is not shown in full, but it is alleged to be the Xiaomi Mix Flip, which is rumored to debut soon.
The photo only shows a minimal part of the phone, specifically a section of its back panel and side frames. Yet, by the looks of it, it has a metal side frame and black back panel with slight curves on the sides.
The photo surfaced amid reports of the Mix Flip making several appearances on various platforms, such as the NBTC, 3C, IMEI, and IMDA. Based on these discoveries and its model numbers (including the 2405CPX3DG), it could be deduced that the device will debut globally.
According to earlier reports, it would arrive in the third quarter of the year, offering fans the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 4,900mAh battery, 67W fast charging support, 5G connectivity, two-way satellite connectivity, and a 1.5K main display. It is rumored to cost CN¥5,999, or around $830.
Earlier discoveries we reported also revealed the lenses that would be used in the said foldable. In our analysis, we found out that it would be employing two lenses for its rear camera system: the Light Hunter 800 and Omnivision OV60A. The former is a wide lens with a 1/1.55-inch sensor size and 50MP resolution. It is based on Omnivision’s OV50E sensor and is also used on the Redmi K70 Pro. Meanwhile, the Omnivision OV60A has a 60MP resolution, 1/2.8-inch sensor size, and 0.61µm pixels, and it also allows 2x Optical zoom. It is widely being used on many modern smartphones nowadays, including the Motorola Edge 40 Pro and Edge 30 Ultra, to name a few.
On the front, on the other hand, is the OV32B lens. It will power the phone’s 32MP selfie camera system, and it is a reliable lens since we have already seen it in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Motorola Edge 40.
