Foldable phones are getting a lot of attention in 2024, and the Xiaomi MIX Flip has emerged as a strong contender against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. Let’s explore the key features, price, and availability to see if Xiaomi’s new foldable can really beat Samsung’s latest offering.
Design and Display

Both the Xiaomi MIX Flip and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 have foldable AMOLED displays, but Xiaomi offers a slightly larger 6.86-inch screen compared to Samsung’s 6.7-inch. The MIX Flip also stands out with its higher brightness of 3,000 nits, while the Galaxy Z Flip 6 caps at 2,600 nits, making Xiaomi’s display better in direct sunlight. Both the handsets possess a 120Hz refresh rate, which ensures smooth scrolling and gaming.
Performance and Battery Life
Under the hood, they both have Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Therefore, top-notch performance can be expected there. While both have 12GB of RAM in a higher configuration – up to 16GB-in some markets, it’s available by Xiaomi. The MIX Flip has a 4,780mAh battery, which with fast charging at 67W should be better than in Samsung at 4,000mAh with only wired charging at 25W. Hence, Xiaomi’s faster charging and larger battery would ideally help the device go through its daily performance.
Camera

MIX Flip wins in photography, on paper. It is dressed to a tee with a dual 50MP rear camera setup with the telephoto lens which outputs the Samsung 50MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide. On the front, Xiaomi also has a 32MP camera for selfies beating the Galaxy Z Flip 6 selfie camera by a mile with its 10MP of selfie goodness. A telephoto lens gives Xiaomi an advantage in zoom photography, while the device from Sony has the capability of shooting 4K videos like its competitor.
Pricing and Availability
The other side in which Xiaomi has an edge is in terms of price. The Xiaomi MIX Flip will cost around ₹68,500, which is cheaper compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 whose price stands at ₹1,01,998. Nevertheless, availability goes to Samsung’s Z Flip 6; they are globally available while the MIX Flip is only available in China.
In addition, the Xiaomi MIX Flip screen is brighter, the battery is bigger, and the camera setup is more versatile at a lower price than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. On the other hand, its limited availability outside China might make it difficult for international buyers to easily obtain one.
