Xiaomi has gatekept its book-style foldable line<\/a> for years, only offering it officially in China, but things may thankfully be very different when it comes to its first flip-style foldable device, widely believed to be called Xiaomi Mix Flip<\/a>.<\/p>\n We already know this is coming later this year, and now there’s reason to hope it will launch globally and won’t be confined to China like the Mix Fold line.<\/p>\n The Mix Flip’s global model number has been spotted in the GSMA’s IMEI database – 2405CPX3DG. The “G” at the end stands for “global” and is only assigned for – you guessed it – models that will get sold outside of China. For reference, note that the Mix Flip for the Chinese market got certified for sale over there<\/a> with the model number 2405CPX3DC, where the “C” at the end stands for China.<\/p>\n The Mix Flip should be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and will have a 50 MP main camera with a 1\/1.55″ sensor size and OIS, a 60 MP 2x telephoto with 1\/2.8″ sensor size, and a 12 MP ultrawide.<\/p>\n It’s expected to be announced between July and September, and thus, with the global availability, it should compete head-on with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip6<\/a>, which is launching in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Xiaomi](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/06\/xiaomi-mix-flip-global\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\")
