With Motorola and Samsung already several generations of flip phone deep, Xiaomi’s first clamshell has some catching up to do – but on paper the Mix Flip looks more than capable of closing the gap.
Xiaomi sent me the black one, which fends off fingerprints well, but there’s also a purple version available. It’s a little heavier and ever so slightly thicker than either the Galaxy Z Flip6 or the Razr 50 Ultra; but with flat sides made from polished metal, rear glass with a matt finish, and two bites taken out of the front-filling screen to accommodate a pair of cameras, the Mix Flip is about as on-trend as a flipper gets.
