The Xiaomi Mix Flip’s European launch signifies Xiaomi’s entry into a market largely dominated by Samsung. With its premium specs and stylish design, it aims to attract consumers seeking a high-end foldable phone. However, its higher price compared to established competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 may pose a challenge in gaining market share.
The Mix Flip was initially launched in China earlier this month, starting at CNY 5,999 (roughly Rs. 69,300) for the base storage model, making its European pricing notably steeper.
