Larger Battery and Telephoto Lens on the Horizon:
While lacking satellite communication, the Mix Flip is gaining other
advantages. DCS reports the phone will boast a larger battery and a telephoto camera lens. The exact battery capacity remains unknown, but the telephoto
lens is expected to offer 3x zoom functionality. Previously leaked details
also suggest a 50-megapixel main camera.

The Mix Flip is rumored to launch alongside another foldable phone from
Xiaomi, the Mix Fold 4. This device is tipped to be incredibly thin and light,
featuring a quad-camera system with a 50-megapixel main sensor and a periscope
lens.

Both the Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4 are expected to be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. While Xiaomi has yet to officially confirm the
existence of either phone, more details are likely to emerge soon.
