Buy Xiaomi Mix foldables
Are you looking for a Xiaomi Mix foldable? Here you’ll find the foldable phones from Xiaomi’s Mix series, with the current prices from all retailers side by side. Good to know in advance: only the clamshell model from this series was officially released in the Netherlands, whilst the book-style model remains exclusive to the Chinese market. If you’d like to see all the alternatives, take a look at book-style foldables and clamshells. Use the filters for storage, colour or price to find the best deal straight away.
Which Xiaomi Mix foldable phone can you buy in the Netherlands?
In practice, only the flip model. Xiaomi officially launched the Mix Flip in the Netherlands and Belgium and sells it via its own online shop and the usual retailers. The book-style model, the Mix Fold, was never officially released in Europe: even the latest generation was first announced for the Chinese market. If you want a Mix Fold, you’ll have to turn to an import shop.
What characterises the Mix series?
Mix is Xiaomi’s showcase: this is where the technology that later finds its way into other series makes its debut. Think of foldable screens, cameras co-engineered with Leica, and casings that get thinner with each generation. In China, Xiaomi markets the series aggressively, but that price advantage evaporates as soon as a device is imported into the Netherlands.
Xiaomi Mix or Samsung Galaxy Z Fold?
For anyone looking for a clamshell model, this is the fairest comparison.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold if you want a clamshell model that you can simply buy in the Netherlands: official warranty, seven years of updates, Google services pre-installed and plenty of cases available.
Only choose a Xiaomi Mix Fold if you’re deliberately importing it and know exactly what you’re getting: Chinese software, no Dutch warranty cover and no certainty regarding how long updates will be available here.
What should you bear in mind when importing a Mix Fold?
As there is no European version of the book-style model, you’ll always be buying a Chinese device. This has consequences.
- Chinese software: Google services and the Play Store aren’t pre-installed. You can usually install them yourself, but it’s not a plug-and-play experience and not every banking app will work afterwards.
- Warranty via the shop: your claim is handled by the importing online shop, not by Xiaomi Netherlands. Check how repairs to the foldable screen and hinge are handled before you order.
- Update schedule: the Chinese update policy may not align with what Xiaomi promises in Europe. For a device at this price point, that’s a real risk.
Alternatives with a Dutch warranty
Are you mainly looking for the foldable design and not necessarily the brand? Then take a look at all the book-style foldables or, if you’d prefer a compact device, the clamshells. The rest of this brand’s range can be found at Xiaomi. If you’re not yet sure which way to go, start with the decision guide.
