According to a recent post on Weibo, the Mi Mix 4 brings a new feature dubbed Xiaoai Translation, enabling a live AI subtitle feature on the Mi Mix 4. The feature is similar to Google’s Live Caption feature on Android.

Xiaomi MIX 4 Hands on Review: Beautiful Color, High Quality Workmanship

Paco Zheng — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 12:35:06 +0000

If you have been following the smartphone market over the years, you will know how shocking it was when Xiaomi released its first generation of MIX. After launching the Mix 3 slider phone, the company announced the MIX Alpha, but it wasn’t on sale to the public, and then came the MIX Fold, which isn’t a phone for most people. And today we’ve got the Xiaomi MIX 4, which is the official successor to the MIX series. Since we got the phone not long ago, we’ll start with the most relevant aspects in this hands-on.

Xiaomi MIX 4 Hands-on: Unboxing & Design

The box is not as small as the Mi 11 series, as you can see, the Mi Mix 4 box is pretty large. When you open the package, the new slogan of MIX comes into view. Translated into English, it means “There is no perfection in the world, but there is always someone in pursuit of perfection”.

Next you see the Xiaomi MIX 4 itself, let’s put it aside for now and see what accessories come with it. A phone case, a headphone adapter, a data cable, and of course the most important accessory, a 120w charger.

The MIX series has pursued a full-screen design right from its inception, and although the MIX 4 is not the first phone to use the under-display camera technology, it has done a very good job with the full-screen effect.

In everyday use, even if you look carefully, you won’t easily spot the camera area. Just from the display effect, it has reached a highly usable state. Of course, it is not perfect, as from the side view, you can still see the position of the front camera. In bright light, there will also be a sun logo to protect the front camera area of the screen. And Xiaomi has made a hole in the display panel for better front camera quality. However, I hope future versions won’t have a hole in the screen because only then it will have a better full-screen effect.

Compared to the first generation, the MIX 4’s design is kind of less impressive. Like many other phones, there is a matrix rear camera in the upper left corner. The new gray color scheme is very elegant, and the blue tint in gray looks very premium. Although the MIX 4 is relatively average in terms of the back cover design, the production quality is nevertheless superb. The Unibody ceramic body was well received by the public when it first debuted on the MIX 2, and the Unibody process is polished even further on the MIX 4.

With the new technology, the ceramic body is 30% lighter, which is one of the reasons why the MIX 4 is lighter than the Mi 11 Ultra. The back cover and frame are unibody, so it won’t pinch your hand, and it naturally feels much better than other phones. And since ceramic has a greater thermal conductivity than glass, you get the feeling that the MIX 4 will get warmer more easily than other phones with glass back covers. Honestly, the feel of the MIX 4 is really very good, and it’s hard to describe it in words. So If you get the chance, you must go and experience it yourself.

Xiaomi MIX 4 Hands-on: Under Screen Camera Quality

You must also be very curious about the quality of the front camera, right? We were curious too and tried to take a couple of selfies.

Are you happy with its quality? Personally, I’m satisfied with the front camera quality, especially considering there is a screen covering the camera. But if you zoom in, even though the AI processing has optimized the image much more than what we saw in the preview, many details of the image are not visible anymore. So, despite using a new under-screen camera solution, MIX 4 is not recommended for people who want high quality selfies.

But if you want basic selfies or just want to talk to your family and friends on video calls like I do, this front camera can handle such simple scenarios.

Xiaomi MIX 4 Hands-on: Hardware, Camera, & Battery

MIX 4 is also equipped with the Snapdragon 888+ SOC for the first time. With 780,000 points on AnTuTu and 5700 points in 3D Mark, this chip doesn’t feel much different from Snapdragon 888. Because of time constraints, we could only test PUBG on the phone, and with the performance mode on with the HDR Graphics Extreme frame rate mode, it still limits the frame rate. With an average frame rate of 53 FPS, it seems that the MIX 4 is very conservatively tuned for performance.

The MIX 4’s rear camera also takes very good pictures, and performs very well in most cases during the day. But the ultra-wide lens and telephoto lens low light photo quality is more towards average, and the dynamic range is relatively low. The main camera does not have this problem when the night mode is turned on, and the performance in low light is also very good.

MIX 4 also brings the fastest charging combination for cell phones right now, i.e. a 120w wired charging + 50w wireless charging. After turning on Boost charging speed, the wired charging got the battery to full in just 16 minutes, and when using wireless charging, it took 37 minutes for a full charge.

Some people may wonder how its 50w wireless charging solution can charge the phone in just 37 minutes. This is because, recently, China added a policy stating the power output of wireless charging should not exceed 50w. This policy was officially implemented sometime before the launch, so Xiaomi did not dare to advertise a faster wireless charging solution, even if it technically achieved an output higher than 50w. In fact, the wireless charging power of MIX 4 is much greater than 50w. If you turn off the Boost charging speed function, wireless charging can only be charged at a maximum of 50w, and it will take 50 minutes to fill up.

I know you are waiting to see more of the phone! Don’t worry, a full review of the MIX 4 is coming soon.

One of its major highlights is the in-display camera. The device features a 20MP CUP(camera under-panel) with a 4-in-1 Super pixel sensor.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 has an Exclusive Feature called Smart Charging

Pranav Sawant — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 03:57:21 +0000

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Mix 4 last week in China with impressive specs like Snapdragon 888+ SoC, 108MP cameras, and 50W wireless charging. Today, Xiaomi has revealed that the flagship phone comes with another impressive feature called Smart Charging which protects the phone’s battery from getting damaged while charging excessively.

A couple of months back, Xiaomi was seen testing a feature called MIUI Battery Health Indicator which evidently showed the estimated health status of the battery. The feature was similar to Apple’s Battery health feature and was first rolled out to the Redmi Note 10. Now, the new Smart Charging feature is an addition to the previous battery feature, but it is currently exclusive to the newly launched Mi Mix 4.

According to Xiaomi, the feature will intelligently learn the daily charging habits of the Mi Mix 4 and timely behavior of charging and discharging. Based on long-term data, the feature will regulate the battery and hence improving the battery health.

Practically, when the feature is turned on from the settings, it will learn the charging time at night and discharging time in the morning through AI. This function will therefore allow the device to charge comfortably at night, and as soon as it’s time to wake up, it will intentionally transmit the charge, ensuring that it is fully juiced up in the morning. In a long run, the Smart Charging feature will save the battery from aging quickly.

The Mi Mix 4 comes with a 6.67-inch 3D curved AMOLED display. It has a triple rear camera system with a 108MP main sensor, an 8MP periscope lens, and a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera unit. It comes powered by Snapdragon 888+ SoC coupled with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage. It packs a 4,500mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition now available for the first batch of eligible devices

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Sat, 14 Aug 2021 08:22:05 +0000

Earlier this week, Xiaomi unveiled MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition at the Mi MIX 4 launch event. The first batch of eligible devices was supposed to start receiving the update from August 13. As promised, the company has begun to roll out the latest version of MIUI for a select few smartphones.

MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition is all about optimizations. Hence, it does not bring any features. However, it is worth noting that Xiaomi is separately testing iOS-like widgets.

According to the official announcement, a total of 12 premium Mi and Redmi-branded smartphones are part of the first batch of eligible devices for the new software. Out of these, as of writing this article, the update is available (1, 2, 3) for 6 of them

These handsets are Mi MIX 4, Mi 10 Pro, Mi 10S, Redmi K40, Redmi K30 Pro, and Redmi K30S Ultra. Unsurprisingly, the update is only live for the Chinese variant of these smartphones.

Since Xiaomi is yet to announce MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition for global markets, the international versions of these phones should be receiving this update only after that.

Having said that, Xiaomi has also started testing Android 12-based MIUI builds for some of its handsets. Also, the company has confirmed to release MIUI 13 by the end of 2021.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is in short supply, thanks to Snapdragon 888 Plus

Staff — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 15:59:24 +0000

Xiaomi recently introduced the Mi Mix 4, its latest flagship smartphone in China. However, it looks like that the company is having a hard time keeping up the supply.

According to Lu Weibing, President Xiaomi, and GM Redmi, Mi Mix 4 supply will remain tight because of silicon shortage. He said that the limited supply of Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset and the low yield rate of ceramic material were the two main reasons why the stock of Mi Mix 4 was low. To note, the manufacturing cost of ceramic material is 5 to 6 times higher than standard glass, and it is also tougher to carve out a piece of ceramic glass.

The first batch of preorders was instantly sold out, and Mi Home’s presales were also exhausted. Weibing further apologized to the fans and said that the stock for the Aug 16th sale was also going to be limited.

Xiaomi MI Mix 4 Specifications

The Mi Mix 4 brings Xiaomi’s new CUP technology. The CUP technology is Xiaomi’s under-display camera tech. The Mi Mix 4 comes with a 20MP camera housed under the display. The 6.75-inch curved OLED display uses a new micro-diamond pixel technology. It offers some interesting features such as a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 800 nits of brightness. The display is being protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

The Snapdragon 888 Plus powers Xiaomi’s latest flagship SoC. It comes with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and upto 512GB of internal storage.

The other two cameras are an 8MP periscope camera with 50x zoom and 5x optical zoom and a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a free-form lens. It will be retailing for a starting price of ¥4999 (~$770) for the 8GB/256GB base variant. The Mi Mix 4 comes in three colors – Ceramic White, Ceramic Gray, and Ceramic Black.

Xiaomi removes anti-lost mode from the Mi Mix 4, Here’s Why

Staff — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 14:10:00 +0000

Earlier this week, Xiaomi introduced its fourth generation Mix series smartphone, the Mi Mix 4. It brought CUP Full Screen Technology on board with top-notch specifications.

But did you know that the Mi Mix 4 had one more exciting feature, an anti-lost mode using a virtual SIM?

Unfortunately, the company has announced that it’s forced to disable this feature.

The Mi Mix 4 has a built-in virtual SIM card that can help locate the device even if it has no SIM card. However, the feature had to be removed due to non-compliance with national regulations (China). According to the official statement posted by Xiaomi on Weibo, the technology hasn’t been approved for application in mobile phone products. Further, the company has also apologized to its users for removing the anti-lost mode.

The Mi Mix 4 also brings the deep binding of the SIM card and the handset. This feature disables the smartphone in case someone replaces the SIM card. Further, it allows you to force shut down the smartphone to make sure your data is secure.

Apart from these features, Mi Mix 4 brings many exciting features, including Adaptive Signal Optimization and Manual Signal Entry. The Mi Mix 4 comes with a unique interior metal case that acts as an antenna amplifier. Moreover, it features 19 inbuilt antennas and supports 42 bands with signal quality optimizations for 8 different scenarios.

Another exciting feature is Point and Control Always On UWB. Xiaomi’s Always On UWB technology allows users to connect to any compatible smart home products by simply pointing at them. There are lots of other unique features of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 that you should know.

The Mi Mix 4 features a 6.67-inch curved OLED panel with a 20MP camera under display. It is powered by Snapdragon 888+ coupled with 8GB/12GB of RAM and 128GB/ 256GB/512GB/1TB of internal memory. The Mi Mix 4 runs on MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11 and boasts a 5000mAH battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging support. Further, it comes with a triple rear camera setup, including a 108MP main camera, 50x periscope camera and 13MP ultrawide camera with free form lens. The Mi Mix 4 starts at CNY 4,999 ($772) for the 4GB/128GB storage variant.

5 Unique Features of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 that you should know!

Sean — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 12:46:14 +0000

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 exec suggests the Mix 4 UD camera won’t give a spectacular selfie experience

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 03:42:20 +0000

The selfie camera has been hugely popular among smartphone users. Several other accessories like the selfie stick, have been developed in combination with the selfie cam for an enhanced photo and video recording experience. However, smartphone camera technology is a fast-evolving field that has thrown up under-display cameras as the new direction for front cameras. A few devices in the market have this new technology, and the Xiaomi Mix 4, just released this week, is one of such.

A Weibo post by a Xiaomi Executive has thrown more light on the Mix 4’s selfie camera. Senior Vice President at Xiaomi, William Lu, in the Weibo post, highlighted the strong points of the Mix 4, which sports an under-display front camera module, to be the full-screen display. Lu says that the Mix 4 lacks a punch hole, stressing that phones with punch holes offer more satisfaction for selfie enthusiasts. The Mix 4, on the other hand, offers a bigger screen and a more immersive display experience.

In other words, if you are a selfie enthusiast, the MIX 4 may not be for you. Recall that the ZTE Axon 20 was the first smartphone to feature a UD camera technology. The device really didn’t offer an impressive selfie experience but the Axon 30 released this year came with some improvement in that aspect. Since the Mix 4 is Xiaomi’s first attempt at UD camera technology, we expect some improvements un subsequent smartphones. .

The camera technology deployed in Mix 4 is called Camera Under Panel (CUP), and it offers a full screen for front shots. The under-display technology is still in a state of rapid development, and we are bound to see further innovations in this regard. Several OEMs are actively developing their own versions (some with patents) of the under-display camera setup.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 4, Mi Pad 5 series spotted at Google Play Console, hints global release

The Mi MIX 4 and Mi Pad 5 models in China do not come with Google Mobile Services (GMS) since it is banned in the country. Hence, Xiaomi does not require Google Play Console certification for releasing its phones and tablets in China.

Last week, Xiaomi Global’s Product PR Agatha Tang revealed that the company has no plans to release the Mi MIX 4 in global markets at present. While the Play Console listing doe does not guarantee an international release for the Mi MIX 4, Mi Pad 5, and Mi Pad 5 Pro, it does indicate that these devices may release outside of China.

Xiaomi’s 200W Fast Charging to enter mass production next year; could debut with Mi MIX 5

Jeet — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 05:28:31 +0000

A couple of months ago, Xiaomi announced its latest HyperCharge fast charging solutions, showcasing what to expect from its smartphones in the future. It introduced 200W wired charging technology and 120W wireless charging technology.

Recently, it was reported that the Xiaomi HyperCharge technology could go into mass production by June 2022 and feature in a smartphone the same year. Now, a new report also indicates the 200W fast charging technology to enter mass production next year.

What’s interesting is that the report claims that the Xiaomi Mi MIX 5 smartphone will be the first one to get support for 200W fast wired charging and hints that the device could get launched next year. It also adds that the phone may not have support for 120W fast wireless charging technology but come with 50W wireless charging.

The report claims that Xiaomi has two flagship lineups where the primary series focuses on offering top performance and display, along with better camera configuration. On the other hand, the Mi MIX series comes with experimental technology, offering innovative solutions when it comes to display, phone material, and charging.

The newly launched Mi MIX 4 comes with 120W wired charging support, which was introduced along with Mi 10 Ultra smartphone last year as is still among the fastest charging solution available for a smartphone. But this year’s flagship, Mi 11 Ultra is limited to 67W fast charging. Because of this, it is being speculated that the 200W fast charging solution will be made available on the Mi MIX 5 smartphone.

The Xiaomi HyperCharge 200W wired charging solution can charge a 4,000mAh battery to 50 percent capacity in just three minutes. And it takes just eight minutes to gain 100 percent battery juice. On the other hand, the 120W wireless charging can charge a 4,000mAh battery to 10 percent in just 1 minute, 50 percent in 7 minutes, and 100 percent in only 15 minutes.

While Xiaomi has just launched the Mi MIX 4, a new video has already surfaced online that shows the smartphone being disassembled, with the teardown revealing the internal components of the new handset.

The teardown was done by popular tech blogger Robin, who shared the video of the disassembly on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the video we can observe that the smartphone’s body comprises of ceramic and sports a thin metal frame that is housed between the display and the body. This region also makes space for radio signal transmission. The teardown found that the device’s internals are divided into three main regions.

This includes an upper section that houses the SoC, memory modules, camera sensors, 5G antennas, and more. On the other hand, the region in the middle is where the battery is kept, along with the NFC antennas, wireless charging coils, and the dual cell battery. The lower region is made up of the speakers, USB Type C port, and the vibration motor. Notably, we can even see the under display camera of the smartphone in the teardown video.

The hole for this sensor is visible when strong light is passed through it, while another hole can also be observed a bit lower. On the top center of the display is the cutout for the under display camera, while the square shaped cutout is for the proximity and ambient light sensors. With these essential systems being under the display, Xiaomi is able to offer users a complete front screen body. Other notable aspects that can be seen during the tear down is the several heat dissipation sheets, copper foil, and the thermal paste on the SoC.

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’s forthcoming Mi Mix 4 is presently a hot take in the smartphone market, and as more leaks have come to light, the enthusiasm for the phone has grown ever since. Xiaomi recently confirmed the launch date of the Mi Mix 4 to be August 10(7:30 PM CST) and since then there have been multiple teasers and leaks of the device. Today, we’re rounding up all the details learned so far about the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4.

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. This inexplicitly reveals that the current MIUI 12.5 will run on the Mi Mix 4 smartphone.

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.

Alleged Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 with Snapdragon 888 Plus appear at Geekbench

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 10:22:19 +0000

Recent reports have claimed that the Xiaomi phone with the M2106118C model number that was recently spotted at TENAA and 3C certification sites of China could be the upcoming Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 flagship that is slated to go official on Aug. 10 in China. Ahead of the launch, the Mi MIX 4 has paid to visit the Geekbench benchmarking site (via).

The Mi MIX 4’s Geekbench listing shows that it features a Qualcomm chip that is equipped with a 3.00GHz prime core. This indicates that the smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset. Hence, the Mi MIX 4 is likely to debut as the world’s first Snapdragon 888+ powered smartphone.

The Mi MIX 4 has 12 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 11 OS. The listing also mentions the “odin” codename of the phone in the motherboard field. In the single-core and multi-core tests of Geekbench, the handset scored 864 and 3181 points, respectively.

The Mi MIX 4’s TENAA listing revealed that it will be arriving in variants like 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. However, there could be a higher model featuring 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The 3C certification of the device revealed that it may come equipped with a 120W fast charger.

Xiaomi’s latest Mi Mix 4 teasers point to a UWB tech & UD camera; Tempered glass leaks

Jed John Ikoba — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 17:08:59 +0000

Xiaomi officially confirmed earlier this week that it would launch the Mi Mix 4 flagship on August 10. Since the announcement, the company has been consistent in the release of several teasers promoting the device. One of the latest teaser posters from the Chinese tech giant suggests the device will utilize the UWB technology. The poster bears the title “new technology, new understanding” and contains a silhouette of what we believe to be the Mix 4 pointed toward a TV.

The Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio-based communication technology for short-range use and fast and stable transmission of data. It is a more advanced version of Bluetooth as it can precisely locate smart devices up to centimeter-level. A couple of months back, it was first rumored that the Mix 4 will arrive with a UWB chip.

A second teaer shared today by the company further reaffirms the Mix 4 will come with an under display camera teachnology. The original Mi Mix took the industry by storm with its full-screen, notch-less design. In subsequent models, Xiaomi has experimented with different designs ranging from pop-up camera to slider camera design featured on the Mix 3.

The chip will be used by Mi Share, a peer-to-peer file transfer service found on devices from some popular Chinese smartphone brands. The usage might expand as more products utilizing the UWB tech are released just like the Apple and Samsung smart tags.

Mi Mix 4 tempered glass on the right. Mi 11 on the left

In a related news, a blogger has leaked what he says is the tempered glass of the Mix 4. The tempered glass sits alongside that of the Mi 11, showing the difference in screen design between the two models. It can be seen clearly from the picture that although the Mix 4 uses a curved screen design, the curvature on both the left and right sides is much smaller than that of the Mi 11. This will likely bring a better display effect. Also, the comparion shows the Mix 4 screen is shorter and narrower than the Mi 11 which is visually more beautiful.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 may not get a global launch

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 16:57:07 +0000

The Mi MIX 4 is launching next week, specifically on Tuesday, August 10. However, this is not a global event but a local one in China. If you have been hoping the Mi MIX 4 will get a global release, it appears that may not happen.

According to Agatha Tang, Product PR for Xiaomi Global, Xiaomi has no plans to release the Mi MIX 4 outside China. The info was revealed on Twitter as a response to a tweet asked by another user.

It hurts me to say this, but no global plans at the moment.

— Agatha Tang (@aggasaurus) August 5, 2021

The news is a mix of surprise and disappointment for a lot of fans who have been anticipating the arrival of the Mi MIX 4 considering that the Mi MIX Fold, which launched earlier this year, didn’t get a global release.

The last Mi MIX phone that got a global release was the Mi MIX 3 5G which was announced at Mobile World Congress 2019. Before that, Xiaomi also announced the Mi MIX 3 in a number of markets other than China.

We don’t think Xiaomi will change its mind regarding a global release for the Mi MIX 4 but we won’t rule out the possibility of a global tour of some sort similar to what it did with the Mi MIX Alpha in India. This will enable it to showcase the phone to fans, giving them a look at its first phone with an under-display camera.

The Mi MIX 4 will have an FHD+ display, a Qualcomm processor, support for 120W fast wired charging, and run MIUI 12.5 out of the box. It has also been reported that it will have support for ultra-wideband and mmWave.

Xiaomi to launch its first high end smart speaker with Mi MIX 4 on August 10

Sean — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 09:04:43 +0000

Xiaomi has just announced earlier today (5th August 2021) that it will be launching its first high end smart speaker on 10th August 2021, along with the highly anticipated Mi MIX 4 smartphone.

The Chinese tech giant has just shared the news, stating that its first high end smart speaker will launch with a ‘symphony of technology and art.’ Furthermore, while the brand did make the announcement online, it has yet to reveal finer details or information about this audio based product. In other words, we have no idea what this smart speaker might look like or what its specifications are either at the moment.

Although, based on a recent leak, we can assume that this smart speaker might be the L16A Smart Speaker, which was spotted on WiFi Alliance. The listing on the website does not reveal any key specs but it does state that the upcoming high end audio product from Xiaomi also arrives with dual band WiFi support. This implies that it will be able to connect with users’ smart homes and would likely be able to act as a control hub that lets users control other smart home products can via voice commands. Keep in mind that this is still speculation so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

The last phone that can be seen in the poster has a curved edge display without any notch or punch-hole. Reports have claimed that the Mi MIX 4 will be Xiaomi’s first phone with an in-screen camera. Hence, it appears that the last phone in the poster could be the Mi MIX 4.

Reports have claimed that the Mi MIX 4 could be coming with a 6.6-inch OLED panel. It is speculated that even though it will support only FHD+ resolution, it will offer a better viewing experience than conventional 1080p panels. Other rumored features of the Mi MIX 4 include Snapdragon 888 or 888+ chip, a 5,000mAh battery, 120W fast charging, 70W or 80W wireless charging, up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, a 50-megapixel (Samsung GN1s) + 48-megapixel (ultrawide) + 48-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit, MIUI 12.5 based Android 11 OS, UWB, and mmWave 5G support.

The leaked video shows that the front-facing camera sensor is placed in the middle of the screen and its implementation is such that there’s no visible difference between the result of the front-facing camera and the main camera.

Reports indicate that the Mi MIX 4 will feature a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ curved OLED display offering a high refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Snapdragon 888+ SoC, coupled with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.

The TENAA listing of the device has only revealed that it could be available in variants such as 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. Reports have suggested that its highest variant may offer 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Rumors have it that the company may use Micron’s LPPDR5 uMCP solution on the device.

It goes without saying that the Mi MIX 4 will continue to offer a truly bezeless experience since it will come equipped with an in-screen camera. Due to the incorporation of the new selfie camera tech, the Mi MIX 4 may only carry support for Full HD+ resolution. However, it is expected to offer a better viewing experience than conventional 1080p panels.

The Snapdragon 888 or the newer Snapdragon 888 Plus could be present under the hood of the Mi MIX 4. It could be backed by a 5,000mAh battery. The rear camera setup of the phone may feature a Samsung GN1s 50-megapixel primary camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 48-megapixel telephoto snapper. It will come preinstalled with MIUI 12.5 based Android 11. A recent report claimed that it may come with UWB and mmWave 5G support.

Notably, the device might feature the under screen camera technology, which would be a first for the company.

Talking about the tablet, the model in question could be the Mi Pad 5. The latest tablet series is rumored to also have an August launch date as well and is expected to sport top notch specs like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip with a 10.95 inch LCD display.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 leaked images showcase smartphone with under-display camera

Jeet — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 04:16:21 +0000

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its new Mi MIX series smartphone — Xiaomi Mi MIX 4, marking the return of a MIX series smartphone after a gap of around three years. The device could get launched in China on 10th August.

Rumors indicate that the upcoming Mi MIX 4 will debut as the company’s first smartphone to feature an under-display camera sensor. Now, photos of this upcoming device have surfaced online which are allegedly obtained from the supplier’s factory.

The leaked images showcase the upcoming smartphone from Xiaomi which is in line with the previous leaks. The device is expected to have three sensors placed under the screen — fingerprint, camera, and light.

The company is said to be using a new generation of under-display camera technology and the sensor seems to have been placed in the middle of the screen. The bezels surrounding the display panel are quite narrow to offer an immersive full-screen experience.

As the company has opted for an in-display camera sensor, it won’t be possible to offer a 2K resolution screen and thus, the Mi MIX 4 will have Full HD+ screen resolution. But it is said to have better results compared to the regular 1080p panels.
