That gives the impression that Xiaomi is indeed working on the next embodiment of its popular foldable series without wasting any time. It seems the company is already working on the MIX FLIP 2, just two months into the market release of the MIX FLIP 1. If recent findings on the GSMA database are anything to go by, then two model numbers 2505APX7BC and 2505APX7BG belong to the MIX FLIP 2. Judging by the naming convention from the predecessor, these appear to represent the MIX FLIP 2 Chinese and Global variants, respectively. The predecessor had 2405CPX3DC for China and 2405CPX3DG for the global market.
