Xiaomi MIX Flip 3 may never be released outside of China
According to the analysis of GSMA registrations, models for the global market of Xiaomi MIX Flip 3 do not have international codes, which indicates that the 2026 novelty will remain exclusive to China. Only two variants with digital names were found in the database: one with satellite connectivity (2603APX0AC) and the other standard (2603EPX2DC). It is expected that Xiaomi Mix Flip 3 will be announced in the spring of 2026, probably in March.
What is new in Mix Flip 3?
The new model will have a satellite connection. It is also expected to feature the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. It is possible that the release will be held together with Xiaomi 16 Ultra - but there is no confirmation from Xiaomi at the moment.
Bottom line.
Previous MIX Flip models have successfully entered global markets (Europe, Asia, Latin America). But the MIX Fold series has already received limited distribution. Xiaomi is changing its strategy - and this time, it wants to leave the lead to domestic markets. This is especially painful for fans in Europe and South Asia who are waiting for new products.
