The 3C in China stands for the China Compulsory Certification which is a safety mark indicating that a device has been tested and is safe to use. The model number of the Xiaomi Mix Flip found by the leaker on the 3C site was 2405CPX3DC and did not feature connectivity for satellite messaging and calls that another variant of the phone did. That actually is a good sign for Xiaomi fans outside of China since it means that Xiaomi could be planning a version of the clamshell for international markets.

The Mix Flip without satellite connectivity could also have a leg up on its competition when it comes to a very important metric: charging speed. Digital Chat Station says that this particular variant of the clamshell features 67W wired charging compared to 44W on the vivo X Flip and the Oppo Find N3 Flip. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 delivers wired charging at a rate of 25W while Motorola’s Razr+ charges at a top speed of 30W.

Besides faster charging, the Xiaomi Mix Flip is expected to feature an ultra-slim build and Leica-branded rear cameras which might give Xiaomi’s clamshell an advantage over its rivals. It also is expected to be Xiaomi’s first foldable with an IP rating for protection from dust (important for a foldable with a hinge) and water.
