Xiaomi has just announced that its first foldable flip phone, the Mix Flip, will soon see a global launch, right as the company has briefly overtaken Apple as the world’s second-largest smartphone maker.
A global launch for the Xiaomi Mix Flip means the device will make its way to markets outside of China, such as countries in Europe. A US launch is not expected.
Not much of a global launch then
The US is a single country. Europe is a continent with 50+ countries. Whether or not the phone releases in a single country does not determine how “global” the launch is.
Well, it’s similar to how American bands go on a “World tour” which includes 30 US cities and maybe London and Paris, if they have a good day.
Not to be sarcastic, but ‘global’, ‘world’ and similar terms seem to be in the eye of the beholder. 🤨
Na that’s just plain old lying
Did they fix the screen crease? If not, then this release is irrelevant, as it brings nothing new to the table.
Edit: I really hope SOMEONE figures out the screen crease, because the concept of foldable phones is amazing. Just, poorly executed currently.
The screen crease is barely noticeable on newer flip foldables. This is one of those issues that people who have never owned a flip foldable think is a massive issue, but in reality it is something you very quickly adjust to and ignore. It is similar to the camera notch, except the camera notch is always visible whereas the screen crease is impossible to see in certain conditions (darker lighting, darker themes, etc).
