Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 specs leak revealing a controversial camera twist

The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is expected to launch later this year, and we've already seen a few leaks about the device. The latest leak comes from Digital Chat Station, a well-known Chinese tipster. According to Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will have a 6.85-inch LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and a 5,700mAh battery. The device is also said to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

The most interesting part of the leak is the camera setup. The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is rumored to have a dual-camera setup on the back, but it will be different from the original Mix Flip. The original Mix Flip had a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto lens. The Mix Flip 2, on the other hand, is said to have a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide lens.

This is a controversial move by Xiaomi. Telephoto lenses are becoming increasingly popular on smartphones, and many users will be disappointed to see that the Mix Flip 2 doesn't have one. However, Xiaomi may have made this decision to keep the device thin and light.

Other rumored specs of the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 include:

• A 1.5K resolution display

• A side-mounted fingerprint sensor

• Wireless charging

• IPX8 water resistance

The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is expected to launch in the second half of 2024. We'll have to wait and see if these leaks are accurate.
