China's Xiaomi is reportedly working on the successor of its maiden flip-style foldable Mix Flip smartphone. According to a report by GSMArena, Xiaomi has started work on the Mix Flip 2, which is expected to bring improved ergonomics and a bigger battery, while changing the camera set-up. The report also stated that the company is planning to launch the device earlier than anticipated.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2: What to expect
As per the report, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will feature a battery with a 5600 to 5700mAh capacity. This is a big improvement over the original Mix Flip, which comes equipped with a 4,780mAh battery. The report also stated that despite a bigger battery, the second-generation flip-style foldable will be thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

This will be paired with a 50MP primary camera sensor.
