However, a screenshot shared by the tipster reveals another mystery device with the shortened model name “N7.” This device seems to be entirely new, as there are no previous generations associated with it. Speculation suggests that Xiaomi might be entering the clamshell foldable smartphone market with the N7, potentially introducing the Xiaomi MIX Flip. However, it is advised to await further reports to confirm the identity of this enigmatic N7 device.

In related news, renowned tipster Ice Universe claims that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra could see an early launch compared to its predecessor, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, which debuted in April this year. This hints at the possibility of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra making its appearance in the first quarter of 2024.
