More than one Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device coming
According to information from China, Xiaomi is working on multiple devices with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. One of these will be the upcoming Mix Flip model. Let’s point out that this is a bit surprising, considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform has already been introduced. However, Xiaomi may follow a price-oriented policy on its new device.
Other features of Xiaomi Mix Flip are unclear at the moment. However, it will most likely retain the thin and light structure of the Mix Fold series. In addition, leaked schematic images show that there will be a telephoto sensor offering 3x zoom and two auxiliary cameras on the back of the device. It is estimated that the Xiaomi Mix Flip may be released alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in April 2024.
Whether the smartphone will reach the global market is another question. Some sources say that the first-generation Mix Flip may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Here it will compete with Honor Magic Flip and Vivo X Flip 2, which are expected to debut in the first half of 2024.
