- Xiaomi’s new Mix Flip won’t be stuck in China, with sales confirmed for at least 5 European markets.
- Bulgaria is set to get the Mix Flip beginning on August 15, in “limited quantities.”
- It’s still unclear which hardware configuration Xiaomi intends to make available internationally.
Last week, Xiaomi joined the growing number of companies introducing new foldable phones this summer, as the company unveiled not just the Mix Fold 4, its latest generation book-style foldable, but also the clamshell Mix Flip — its first ever folding phone with this form factor. With a huge exterior display and some fun material options, there’s a lot to like about the Mix Flip — we just weren’t sure how excited it was worth getting about the phone, with Xiaomi’s international release plans still up in the air. While we still don’t have the complete picture on every market where this model might end up, we can now at least confirm that Xiaomi is moving forward with Mix Flip sales outside of China.
Confirmation comes our way from Mobile Bulgaria (via WinFuture with a h/t to our own Mishaal Rahman), where the site learned from Xiaomi Bulgaria country manager Nikolay Nankov that Mix Flip sales are coming to the nation in mid-August, when the phone will go for 2,600 Bulgarian lev (~$1,450). That’s significantly more than shoppers in China will be paying, where the base Mix Flip starts at 5,999 yuan (~$825).
