The verdict, up front

Xiaomi joins the clamshell race.

Mix Flip was Xiaomi's first foldable phone — bringing Leica Summilux glass and a 4.01" cover to a category previously owned by Samsung and Motorola. Against Magic V Flip (better waterproofing) and Razr 50 Ultra (Pantone validation), it wins on camera optics.
