Earlier this year, Xiaomi revived the MIX series with the launch of its first-ever foldable smartphone. The company is reported to launch yet another MIX series device in the second half of 2021. The codename of this handset has been now revealed by a reliable leaker.

Last month, Digital Chat Statio exposed that Xiaomi is set to launch two new high-end smartphone switch model numbers K8 and J18S respectively. The former is said to a regular MIX phone (Mi MIX 4), whereas the latter is expected to be a MIX foldable handset. 

Over a month later, the tipster says that the alleged Mi MIX 4 with model number K8 is codenamed Odin. For those unaware, Odin is the king of Gods in Greek Mythology.

It is not the first time Xiaomi is using codenames based on characters from Greek Mythology. The Redmi K40 Gaming Edition is called Ares (god of courage and war).

According to previous reports, the so-called Mi MIX 4 will be the first Xiaomi phone with an under-display camera, which is also known as UPC (under panel camera). It is said to cost more than the Mi 11 Ultra, which is the company’s most expensive regular smartphone to date.
