We have been hearing about Xiaomi‘s developments of the Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip for quite a while. Xiaomi applied for 8 folding screen-related trademarks towards the end of last month, which include both clamshell and book-style foldable. This suggests possible improvements in the folding mechanism of Xiaomi’s future foldables.
The Mix Fold 4 is expected to be released in China in Q3 of 2024, possibly in July or August.
While the application doesn’t reveal much about Xiaomi’s developments, the next-generation book-style foldable, the Mix Fold 4 has already been spotted in the certification platform revealing some key details. According to the MIIT certification, this device supports NR SA/NR NSA/TD-LTE/LTE FDD/WCDMA/CDMA 1X/GSM standard. It also equips support for eMBB networking technology and Tiantong satellite connectivity. The Mix Fold 4 will equip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Speaking of the Xiaomi Mix Flip, it’s going to be the company’s first flip-style foldable device. The phone has appeared on the IMEI database hinting that the phone will be released outside of China. Notably, the larger book-style foldable has yet to be spotted on a similar certification platform. Previous reports suggest that the Mix Fold 4 could be launched exclusively in China.
Coming back to the Mix Flip, the renders and prototype images reveal a slightly smaller external display separated from the camera module. There is a dual camera setup that is rumored to include a 50MP main and a 60MP 2x telephoto that uses the 1/2.61″ OV60A sensor.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is expected to equip the 1/1.55″ 50MP OV50E for the main camera, the 1/3.06″ 13MP OV13B ultrawide, and the 1/2.61″ 60MP OV60A for 2x telephoto (the same as the Mix Flip).
