Xiaomi had just announced the highly anticipated Mi MIX 4 earlier this week. The smartphone arrived with top notch specs and features and was the company’s first to sport an under display selfie camera on the front. So now, lets take a look at the 5 features that makes the Mi MIX 4 so unique.

1. CUP Full Screen Technology

As the name suggests, the Mi MIX 4 offers a full front screen experience to the users as the essential components like proximity and ambient light sensors along with the selfie shooter are housed under the display. CUP or Camera Under Panel design is the company’s proprietary under-display camera technology and has been in development for over five years, spanning three major generations, sixty patents, and a whopping 77 million US Dollars investment and hundreds of engineers.

We had even covered a recent tear-down video of the Mi MIX 4, which showcased the cutouts for the UD camera and essential sensors. To the naked eyes, these cutouts are virtually invisible and can only be seen when intense light is passed through the display. Furthermore, the CUP technology even offers an impressive 400ppi pixel density on top of the UD camera region. Xiaomi achieved this feat by using a new transparent curved wiring Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) material along with imaging algorithms.

2. Point and Control Always On UWB

A major feature that arrived with the newly launched Mi MIX 4 is the integration of the Chinese tech giant’s unique UWB technology. In practice, this lets users connect to any compatible smart home products by simply pointing at them. Or in other words, a simple “Point to Connect” functionality lets users control Xiaomi’s AIoT devices immediately after being paired with the Mi MIX 4. For those unaware, UWB stands for Ultra-Wideband, which is essentially a low energy short-range high bandwidth communication that fills the same role as Bluetooth.

3. System Level AI Translation and Privacy

Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 also features a system level AI Translation as well. This allows Mi MIX 4 users to transcribe and translate audio, along with the usual text and photos translation. Notably, the device is capable of generating on-device translations in real-time, even adding subtitles that can be used for communicating between different languages.

Additionally, the company also placed a special emphasis on security that prevents unauthorized shutdown, disconnect prevention, and other data protection features as well. Even if you lose your Mi MIX 4, Xiaomi protects your personal information while also offering SIM lock feature that requires one to re-enter your password to activate a new SIM being used on the device.

4. Adaptive Signal Optimization and Manual Signal Entry

The smartphone maker has even brought in improvements in networking and signal reception as well. The Mi MIX 4 boosts antenna performance by using a unique interior metal case as an antenna amplifier. Although, a highlight aspect in networking is also its adaptive controls that allow for further optimizations for signals that speed up connection when needed.

The Mi MIX 4 arrives with 19 inbuilt antennas and supports 42 bands with signal quality optimizations for 8 scenarios. While it supports automatic identification of the environment around it, it also offers users a manual location entry system to further optimize signal quality in high traffic areas.

5. 50W Fast Wireless Charging!

Xiaomi has been one of the pioneers when it comes to smartphone fast charging technology. It has even been one of the market leaders for wireless charging tech as well in the smartphone industry. The Mi MIX 4 supports a whopping 120W wired fast charging support while it can even be charged wireless by up to 50W. The device also supports an intelligent fast charging modulation algorithm that helps regulate temperatures during charging and speeds for different scenarios as well.

Xiaomi 2021 Mi Mix 4, Mi Pad 5 Launch Event: What to Expect & Where to Watch

Joel Joseph — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 07:39:37 +0000

Xiaomi’s big launch event is all set to kick off later today. At the event, the company’s CEO, Lei Jun, will talk about his struggles as an entrepreneur as well as reveal new updates across multiple product categories in the Mi family. This includes its first commercial under-screen camera smartphone — the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, a new Mi Pad 5 tablet, a bunch of OLED TVs, as well, as a high-end smart speaker. We can also expect other smart home products at the events.

So let’s take a quick look at what to expect from each of the products at the event today.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will be the star of today’s event. Not only because it’ll feature high-end hardware like the Snapdragon 888+ chipset, but also because it will be Xiaomi’s first commercial under-screen camera smartphone. While we have seen in-screen cameras on phones from ZTE, the implementation on the Mix 4 is expected to be much better and could start a new wave of in-screen camera phones in the market. Other expected features of the phone include a 6.67-inch OLED display with super-thin bezels, a 100MP camera setup at the back, and 120W ultra-fast wired charging.

We have a dedicated article on what to expect from the Mi Mix 4 flagship here.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

Tablets are the new craze in town, and it’s actually surprising Xiaomi has taken more than 3 years to update this product lineup. The Mi Pad 5 will be Xiaomi’s first tablet in quite some time and will focus on high-end productivity and entertainment.

The tablet is expected to feature Snapdragon 870 underneath with a dual 20MP + 13MP camera setup at the rear. A leak from last month had revealed that there will be two variants in the new Mi Pad lineup. The Mi Pad 5 and Mi Pad 5 Pro will differ with respect to processors and charging technology. The Pro model will likely have a Snapdragon 870 processor and 67W fast wired charging while the standard version should have a Snapdragon 860 processor and a slower charging speed.

The display should be of 10.95-inches with a 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet is expected to support a keyboard accessory along with a stylus. Other features should include an 8720mAh battery with 65W wired charging, Android 11 OS, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and a side fingerprint sensor.

Mi OLED TV 2021

Xiaomi tried its luck with high-end OLED TVs last year and now, it’s back with the second-generation model, offering more advanced features. The company has confirmed that the OLED panels used in the 2021 models will be of better quality than last year. Further, the TVs are confirmed to support Harmon Kardon sound as well as NVIDIA’s G-SYNC certification for stutter-free and stable gaming performance.

The Mi OLED TV 2021 lineup is expected to come in three sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch. We can expect a hefty price tag for these OLED models as last year’s Mi Master OLED TV was launched at 12,999 yuan (~$2,011).

High-end Mi Smart Speaker

Xiaomi has a bunch of smart speakers in the Chinese market, but the company has confirmed that it will announce its most premium speaker today.

Not much is known about this device, but the company teased that it will offer a concert hall-like sound experience at your home. Given the tall claims, we can expect a high-end speaker setup inside. Further, there are rumors about the speaker being a smart hub that can also work with the new Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 to control other smart devices via UWB.

Apart from these four products, we can also expect other smaller products at the big Xiaomi launch event today. The event starts at 7.30 PM CST and is expected to continue for nearly 3 hours.

Where to Watch the Aug 10 Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 Launch event?

Unfortunately, Xiaomi has not revealed whether the event will be live-streamed on YouTube. However, if you still wish to watch the event, you can watch the live stream on Xiaomi’s Chinese event page here. But note that this event will be streamed in Chinese.

You can also stay tuned to Gizmochina for updates, as we’ll be covering all the launches today.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 Rumor Roundup: What to Expect?

Design and Display

After multiple leaks and certifications, the Mi Mix 4 was finally found posing in an offline store in China. The promo poster of the smartphone was displayed in the country, leaving us with its design.

According to the poster, the smartphone has a full-screen display without any bezel or notch. The smartphone is touted to feature an in-screen camera and curved edges. Leaks suggest that it has a 6.67-inch OLED display panel with Full-HD+(1800 x 2400 pixels) resolution and 120Hz screen refresh rate.

It is expected to have a 10bit color depth and will be protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Cameras on the Mi Mix 4

Moving to the back, the smartphone has a huge camera island with a triple rear camera setup. Past leaks had claimed that it will boast multiple cameras with a 50MP Samsung GN1, 48MP ultra-wide, and 48MP telephoto periscope camera system.

But, recent leaks deny these sensors and claim that the phone may come with a whopping 108MP triple camera system.

Hardware and Software

Recently, the smartphone appeared on Geekbench with model number 2106118C. The listing confirmed that the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset clocked at up to 3.00 GHz. It was spotted with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. It is expected to come with a base configuration of 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. It will also come in a higher 512GB storage configuration.

According to the 3C certifications, the smartphone will pack a 4,500mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging. It may also come with a 50W wireless charging support.

As for the software, a tipster revealed that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will boot on MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. On top of it, Xiaomi’s PR department said that the upcoming MIUI 13 still has a long way to go as it is currently in the works.

The smartphone is expected to come with an in-display fingerprint scanner and will have a stereo speaker setup. The phone will have mmWave 5G and UWB support.

Pricing, Color variants, and Availability

Unfortunately, there weren’t any massive price leaks of the smartphone but, it is expected to come at a premium price range. The flagship Mi 11 Ultra, which was released in March this year, was priced in the ~$1,000 range in China, and we should expect the Mi Mix 4 to cost way more than that.

As per the poster leak, the phone may launch in a Green-gray color variant along with other standard colors like Ceramic Black and Ceramic White. It will launch on August 10 at 7:30 PM CST and is expected to go up for sales in the mid of this month.

Xiaomi is expected to release more premium smartphones in the second half of the year. One of them could be the long-rumored Mi MIX 4. We have been learning more about this handset for the past few weeks. According to the latest findings, it will feature a UWB chip.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 3

An upcoming Xiaomi smartphone codenamed ‘odin’ is expected to go official as Mi MIX 4. As per findings by Xiaomiui as well as TENAA, the device will arrive with a UWB chip. This silicon will be used by Mi Share, a peer-to-peer file transfer service found on devices from popular Chinese smartphone brands. The company might expand the usage of UWB once it launches more devices with the chip like Apple.

Additionally, Xiaomiui says that the phone will also have support for mmWave 5G. Since Xiaomi has already hinted this in a press release from Qualcomm (via XDA Developers), it could be true.

According to previous reports, the alleged Mi MIX 4 codenamed odin will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888/888+ SoC coupled with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

Like any other high-end smartphone from Chinese OEMs, the screen will be curved on both sides. Unfortunately, neither the image nor the leakster mentions anything else about the handset’s design.
