Xiaomi Mix Flip Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Mix Flip is a serious bid for success

The Chinese company Xiaomi has already tried its hand in the folding smartphone segment, but its attempts cannot be considered very successful. Some models were disappointing due to their excessive thickness, others due to their unattractive price tag. The hero of today's review eliminates the shortcomings of his predecessors and has every chance of becoming much more popular.

The appearance of the new product is impressive. Neat edges of the compact body made of glass and metal, modest frames of both displays, amazing ergonomics, convenient location of the side fingerprint scanner and a stylish block of photo modules are combined into one excellent exterior. The additional 4.01-inch AMOLED screen (1392x1208 pixels) and the main 6.86-inch AMOLED panel (2912x1224 pixels) are distinguished by excellent image clarity and smoothness at a 120 Hz refresh rate, and flagship peak brightness of more than 3000 nits. There are no errors in color reproduction, and the effectiveness of the oleophobic coating is also pleasing.

As for the technical characteristics, there is hardly a single person in the world who will not appreciate the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 CPU, 12/16GB of RAM and the Adreno 750 video accelerator. The combination provides simply a ton of performance, thanks to which you can notice even the slightest stutter in the Android OS 14 is almost impossible. Of course, the results in benchmarks and the functioning of games will also be impressive. About two million points in the AnTuTu benchmark and stable gameplay in extremely resource-intensive game projects with maximum graphics settings (Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero and others). Despite the compactness of the gadget, the throttling values ​​are far from critical, the passive cooling system is not bad. 256/512/1024GB of permanent memory are allocated.

The developer decided not to skimp on the phone’s photo capabilities. A pair of 50-megapixel photo sensors (OmniVision Light Hunter 800 main module with hybrid stabilization and a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom) cover a huge number of shooting scenarios, which will include evening photographs without loss of detail, and video shooting in 8K resolution. Of course, it would not be possible without loud stereo speakers, as well as support for 5G networks and even an infrared port for controlling household appliances. Autonomy did not disappoint either. The 4780mAh battery will require searching for an outlet only after a day and a half. Among the minuses, we highlight the lack of moisture protection associated with the design, savings on wireless charging (only a wired analogue at 67W), as well as software aimed at the Chinese market. The last defect will be corrected with the release of the global version. Thus, we have before us a technologically advanced and balanced gadget that definitely deserves your attention.
