TL ؛ DR
- An experienced leaker says Xiaomi is working on a foldable clamshell.
- This will be the company’s first clamshell folding design.
- It is believed that this phone can be very light and thin as well.
Xiaomi is no stranger to foldable phones, having launched the Mix Fold and Mix Fold 2 as competitors to the Galaxy Z Fold in China. Now, a reliable leaker has claimed that the manufacturer could offer something much smaller.
Weibo tipster digital chat station confirms that Xiaomi is working on a clamshell foldable phone. This will be the first time that the company is introducing a clamshell device.
Moreover, the leaker adds that the device will be “very light and thin”. So if you thought the Galaxy Z Flip series, Motorola Razr line, and OPPO Find N2 Flip were too thick for you, you might want to keep an eye on this model.

However, we are curious to know how much the Xiaomi Mix Flip will cost. Historically, the company has had a reputation for aggressive pricing, but recent flagship phones like the Xiaomi 13 Pro have landed superior price tags.
Then again, the brand’s Mix Fold devices were only China products, so we’re not optimistic about this rumored phone getting a global release. Despite this, we hope that Xiaomi will prove us wrong.
