According to tipster DCS, the Xiaomi MIX FLIP will feature a relatively simple dual-camera setup on the back, including a 50MP main camera and a 3x telephoto lens.
The device's display is rumored to use a domestically produced screen with "zero-perception creases," potentially setting it apart from other foldable smartphones on the market.

Book-style foldable
MIX FOLD 4 is also under development
Besides the MIX FLIP, the company is also rumored to be working on the MIX FOLD 4, a book-style foldable smartphone with a quad-camera setup that will include a flagship-grade 50MP periscope telephoto lens.
The MIX FOLD 4 will also run on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and offer satellite communication functions.
Focusing on an "extremely thin and light" design, fast charging, and top-notch screen peripherals, Xiaomi aims to make significant improvements in the foldable smartphone market.
