Xiaomi Mix Flip to join Mix Fold 4 and Redmi K70 Ultra at July 19 event
Xiaomi revealed the launch date of its first flip foldable – Mix Flip. It will be this Friday, July 19, and the device will arrive alongside the already confirmed Mix Fold 4 and Redmi K70 Ultra.
The company also posted some specs of the Mix Flip on its Weibo page, including the chipset, battery capacity, and some key images.
The Mix Flip will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 - the same chipset that powers the Xiaomi 14 flagships. The device will have cameras co-developed with Leica, and one of them will have a "large aperture," but we don't get the exact details just yet.
The battery capacity is said to be 4,780 mAh, which is only matched by the Honor Magic V Flip among flip phones.
In a separate post, Xiaomi also shared that the phone will have UFS 4.0 storage, LPDDR5X RAM and a 3D vapor chamber for cooling. The flip foldable will have a 4" cover screen with 1240p resolution and 1,600 nits brightness.

Honor Magic V3 announced with a slimmer and lighter body, SD 8 Gen 3 and 55W wireless charging
Last year Honor made a big splash with its Magic V2 which at the time was the thinnest foldable on the market, measuring 9.9mm in its folded state and 4.7mm when unfolded. Today Honor announced its successor – the Magic V3 which offers upgrades across the board in a slimmer and lighter body.
Magic V3 measures just 9.2mm (camera bump not included) in its folded state and comes out to 4.35mm when you unfold its 7.92-inch main screen. Honor slimmed down its flagship foldable by utilizing an upgraded hinge mechanism which is just 2.84mm thick and is rated at 500,000 folds. The frame is made from 7-series aluminum alloy.
Even more impressively, Magic V3 weighs just 226 grams – that’s 13 grams less than the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and on par with bar phones like the Magic6 Pro.
New for this year is the IPX8 water resistance rating which is actually a first for Honor foldables.
Magic V3 features a 6.43-inch LTPO cover screen with FHD+ resolution, a 1-120Hz refresh rate. It’s got a 20:9 aspect ratio which should help with general use and typing. It’s also rated for 2,500 nits peak brightness and supports stylus input just like last year’s Magic V2.
The main display is also of the LTPO OLED variety and measures 7.92 inches. It’s got FHD+ resolution, a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and is rated at up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness. Honor also added a side-mounted ultra-narrow capacitive fingerprint sensor from Goodix which allows for faster fingerprint enrollment.
Magic V3 brings Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset which is configurable with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. Despite its slim and lifht profile, Honor still managed to fit a larger vapor chamber (VC) cooling system than the outgoing Magic V2.
The back houses a trio of cameras with a 50MP main shooter (f/1.6 aperture) with OIS, а 50MP periscope with 3.5x optical zoom (f/3.0), and a 40MP ultrawide lens (f/2.2). The cover and main screens also house 20MP front-facing cameras. Honor is also promising support for the Harcourt portrait mode in August.
The software side is covered by MagicOS 8.0.1 based on Android 14 which comes with a host of AI features including circle to search and Honor Parallel Space. The latter combined with the dual SIM support allows you to split the main display and essentially have two separate phones with their own apps and profiles.
Magic V3 packs a 5,150 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Honor Magic V3 comes in red, white, green, and black colors. Pricing starts at CNY 8,999 ($1,240) for the 12/256GB trim and goes up to CNY 10,999 ($1,516) for the 16GB RAM and 1TB storage model.
Open sales in China start on July 19 but we did not get any confirmation for a global launch just yet.
Honor did confirm a Magic V3 satellite connectivity edition is launching later this year.

Honor Magic Vs3 debuts: 0.6mm thicker than the Magic V3, cheaper
Alongside the Magic V3, which is now the new world's thinnest foldable, Honor also announced the Magic Vs3. And while this one is thicker, it's also incredibly thin - down to 9.8mm when folded, in its Velvet Black colorway, and 4.65mm unfolded. So it's 0.1mm thinner than the Magic V2 launched last year, which up until today was the world's thinnest foldable. That makes the Vs3 the world's second slimmest foldable at the moment.
We say this to point out that while the Magic Vs3 is a cheaper option than the Magic V3, it's no slouch either. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and weighs 229g (Velvet Black) or 231g (other versions).
The inner, folding screen is 7.92" 9.78:9 with 2344x2156 resolution, the cover display is 6.43" 20:9 with 1060x2376 resolution. For both you get 3840Hz PWM dimming and an eye protection mode with AI defocus.
The Magic Vs3 runs Android 14 with MagicOS 8 on top. It has a 50 MP main camera, a 40 MP ultrawide, and an 8 MP periscope telephoto for 5x optical zoom. For selfies there are two identical 16 MP shooters on each display. The phone has a 5,000 mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging support.
It will be offered in three RAM/storage combos: 12/256GB for CNY 6,999 ($965), 12/512GB for CNY 7,699 ($1,060), and 16GB/1TB for CNY 8,699 ($1,200). Aside from the aforementioned Velvet Black colorway, you can also get it in Qilian Snow and Tundra Green.
That is, of course, if you live in China, as the handset is only on sale over there currently. Hopefully we'll see an international launch at some point in the future.
