“Flip phones have bad battery life.”
That common wisdom might soon be a thing of the past.
Xiaomi, which surprised the world with the original Mix Flip, is rumored to be preparing some insane specs for the next model, the “Mix Flip 2.” Today, we summarize the latest leaks from overseas to predict how the Mix Flip 2 will evolve and when we can expect a global launch.
1. Battery: Over 5,000mAh in a Flip?!

This is the most shocking news.
According to leaks, the battery capacity of the Mix Flip 2 will be 5,165mAh. This is larger than not just the Galaxy Z Flip series, but even many standard flagship smartphones.
- Original Mix Flip: 4,780mAh
- Mix Flip 2 (Expected): 5,165mAh
With this, you might not even need to carry a power bank anymore, let alone worrying about it lasting a full day.
2. Wireless Charging: Finally Supported?
The only real weakness of the first model was the lack of wireless charging. However, strong information suggests that the Mix Flip 2 will support 50W wireless charging.
Just place it on your desk to fast charge. If this happens, it becomes a “flawless” flip phone.
3. Other Upgrades: Waterproofing and Performance

Snapdragon 8 Elite
The heart of the device is expected to be Qualcomm’s latest “Snapdragon 8 Elite” chip. Beyond processing power, the improved power efficiency should further boost that amazing battery life.
IP Rating (Water/Dust Resistance)
To compete with the Galaxy Z Flip, it is rumored to support official water and dust resistance (like IP68). This brings peace of mind for use in rain or near water.
4. Release Date and Global Availability
Release Schedule (Prediction)
- China Announcement: June-July 2025
- Global Launch: Late 2025
The original Mix Flip initially launched in China but later saw a global release. Given this pattern, a global launch for the Mix Flip 2 is almost certain.
Summary: Is it worth the wait?
If you need a flip phone right now, the original Mix Flip (or Galaxy Z Flip6) is a great choice. But if you can wait another six months, the Mix Flip 2 is definitely worth listing.
Who should wait for Mix Flip 2:
- People who prioritize battery life above all
- People who need wireless charging
- People who want to game on the latest specs
It feels like it could be the “ultimate form” of a flip phone. I’ll update you as soon as more news comes in!
