Xiaomi Unveils Mix Flip 2 Diamond Limited Edition

Xiaomi has introduced a new version of its clamshell foldable phone, the Mix Flip 2, just a day after Honor revealed its Magic V Flip 2.

The new model is called the Mix Flip 2 Diamond Limited Edition, and while it doesn’t change the phone’s hardware, it does bring some standout design updates.

In terms of looks, the Diamond Limited Edition outshines the Mix Flip 2, but in specification and performance, they are more or less the same.

Its name comes from a lab-grown diamond that Xiaomi has placed into the phone’s mid-frame.

Along with this, the back panel has been upgraded to a special nano leather finish, which gives it a more refined texture.

A metallic plate with Xiaomi’s branding has also been added to emphasise its exclusive look.

This launch comes right after Honor presented the Magic V Flip2, a device that is making waves in the foldable market.

Currently, the Magic V Flip2 leads the race for the biggest battery in a flip phone (5500 mAh) and still has a whopping 200MP main camera.

However, it lags behind when it comes to raw performance, especially compared to foldables powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, like Motorola’s Razr 60 Ultra and Xiaomi’s own Mix Flip 2.

The Mix Flip 2 Diamond Limited Edition, which comes with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, will be going for CNY 6999, which is around $975.

Xiaomi hasn’t officially made it clear if the device will be launched to the rest of the world, but for now, it is certain that it will be launched in China only.

There is nothing new about the Mix Flip 2 Diamond Limited Edition apart from the fact that it comes with diamond detail, a good leather finish, and a premium edge.

It’s clearly a move to keep Xiaomi’s foldable in the spotlight following Honor’s big reveal.

For anyone looking to stand out, this limited edition could be one of the most stylish clamshell foldables around.
