Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 & Mix Flip – Foldables Just Got Real

Xiaomi is back with not one, but two foldables: the Mix Fold 4 and the brand-new Mix Flip. Both are thinner, lighter, and stronger than before — and they’re taking direct aim at Samsung’s latest Z Fold and Z Flip series.

Mix Fold 4: A Flagship Powerhouse

This isn’t just another folding phone. The Mix Fold 4 packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a massive 1TB storage option, and a refined hinge that folds flatter than ever. With Leica-branded cameras and a 5000mAh battery, Xiaomi isn’t holding back.

Mix Flip: Xiaomi's First Clamshell

The Mix Flip is Xiaomi’s answer to the Z Flip 6 — but with a twist. It features a large cover display, top-tier internals, and Leica optics, all while staying under 200g. First impressions suggest it might offer better camera performance than Samsung’s flip in similar lighting conditions.

Build & Design

Both foldables are ultra-thin (Fold 4 is just 9.5mm when shut) and include Xiaomi’s new water-resistant hinge. The glass back and slim frames make them feel premium — almost too premium to fold.

Camera Performance

Thanks to Xiaomi’s Leica partnership, these phones are getting serious about photography. The Mix Fold 4 includes a 5x periscope zoom, while the Mix Flip sticks to a powerful dual setup with improved night mode and color tuning.

Comparison with Samsung

Samsung’s foldables have long ruled the market, but Xiaomi just raised the bar. The Fold 4 beats the Z Fold 6 in battery, camera versatility, and design thinness. The Flip comparison is closer, but Xiaomi wins on cover screen usability and weight.

Should You Switch?

If you’ve been holding out for a non-Samsung foldable, Xiaomi may finally have the right answer. The only real catch? Global availability is limited — at least for now. But if Xiaomi expands distribution, these could be the most compelling foldables of 2025.

The foldable wars are heating up. And this time, Samsung might actually feel the pressure.
