Xiaomi continues to expand its foldable smartphone family. The latest additions to their lineup are Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip, which stand out with their design, features, and performance.

Until now, we’ve seen numerous foldable smartphone models from Xiaomi as well as competitors like Samsung, OPPO, and Huawei. However, most of these have been bulky devices with usability issues.

Fortunately, Xiaomi is addressing this by introducing a foldable phone that you will genuinely want to use. So what makes Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 so special? Here are the details…

What Makes Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 Special?

If you’ve ever held a foldable smartphone, you already know the biggest issue with these devices. While they are engineering marvels and perform well in tablet mode, the situation changes when they are folded.

Most are thick, heavy, and not ergonomic. Additionally, when folded, the outer display frames make them resemble early Android smartphones from 2014.

As one of the world’s thinnest foldable smartphones, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, has a thickness of just 4.59 mm at its thinnest point when unfolded. When folded, this thickness increases to 9.47 mm.

To put this into perspective, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which many find quite ergonomic despite its size, is 8.25 mm thick, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is 8.6 mm thick. This means that even when folded, the Mix Fold 4 is nearly the same thickness as these two phones.

This makes it not just an intriguing model but also a truly usable product, unlike many of its competitors on the market.

Moreover, this thickness, combined with a 6.56-inch AMOLED panel with a screen-to-body ratio of 86.07%, results in a smartphone that can be comfortably used with one hand even when folded, unlike many of its competitors. Additionally, weighing in at just 226 grams, it is also lighter than the S24 Ultra.

Xiaomi’s MIX Fold 4 has some design differences compared to the previous model. The most notable change is the more oval-shaped rear camera island. On the side, the power button, which also functions as a fingerprint scanner, stands out.

To maintain the aforementioned thinness, Xiaomi chose not to use an under-display fingerprint reader. Additionally, to reduce weight, the T800H high-strength carbon fiber architecture has been utilized. Xiaomi claims that the hinge can withstand 500,000 folds.

Despite this, the device is IPX8 certified. The external display of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is 6.56 inches and features curved edges on all four sides. The internal display is 7.98 inches and offers 2K resolution. Both screens support a 120 Hz refresh rate, 3000 nits peak brightness level, and Dolby Vision.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 comes with a quad rear camera setup co-engineered with Leica. The 50 MP main camera is accompanied by a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, a 50 MP portrait telephoto camera with 2x zoom, and a 50 MP periscope camera with 5x zoom. The phone offers up to 16 GB of RAM (LPDDR5x) and up to 1 TB of storage (UFS 4.0).

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, this foldable phone is equipped with a 5100 mAh battery, supporting 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. Lastly, it features an integrated ultra-thin VC system for heat dissipation. The Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is available in black, white, and blue color options.

Some claims have been that Xiaomi’s MIX FOLD 4 will be launched globally. Gizmochina has checked the accuracy of these claims and made significant findings that prove them to be completely false. The MIX FOLD 4 will be exclusively sold in China. The foldable smartphone will not be released worldwide. This debunks claims that surfaced earlier. Let’s now evaluate what is known about the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4.

Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 is an exclusive product for China

The Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 should offer significant improvements compared to the previous MIX FOLD 3. Many users are waiting for Xiaomi’s new foldable smartphones. Therefore, the brand has worked hard on the MIX FOLD 4. The device has the codename “goku” and the internal model number “N18“. The MIX FOLD 4 will be sold only in China. We can confirm this with our sources.

The Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 has model numbers “24072PX77C” and “24076PX3BC“. The first model number belongs to the satellite communication version of the device, while the other one is the model without satellite communication. The letter “C” at the end of the model numbers already confirms that the device is exclusive to China.

MIX Flip is the foldable device that will be sold in the global market, not MIX FOLD 4. We have mentioned that MIX Flip will be introduced globally. Xiaomi’s first Flip device will be available in many countries including Turkey. MIX Flip has the codename “ruyi” and the internal model number “N8“.

Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 will be an impressive smartphone with both performance and camera features. Featuring a quad rear camera and a high-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, this device will be launched with the MIX Flip. In fact, the first MIX Flip had the codename ” argo” and was planned to be released in 2021. But Xiaomi has given up on that and reworked the MIX Flip. MIX FOLD 4, MIX Flip, Redmi K70 Ultra, and many other products are expected to be introduced in July.

Before Xiaomi announced the MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra, an interesting development happened. Some system apps for both smartphones have been leaked. We checked the validity of the apps and found out that the apps were really leaked. Leaking the apps before the launch means that we are very close to the devices. Xiaomi is expected to announce new products in the first week of July.

Xiaomi MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra’s leaked system apps at a look

In this article, we take a deep look at the leaked system apps of the Xiaomi MIX Flip and Redmi K70 Ultra. The Xiaomi Clock app for the MIX Flip has leaked, while the Xiaomi AI Translate app for the Redmi K70 Ultra has been revealed. We have examined the code lines of both apps in detail and confirm that the apps belong to the smartphones specified.

We have spotted that a special device codenamed “ruyi” has been added to the Xiaomi Clock app. The “ruyi” codename is known to belong to the MIX Flip. Compared to the previous Xiaomi Clock app, the new app has many lines of code related to the MIX Flip. We make this comparison by examining versions 15.26.0 and 15.30.0 of the app. The clock app for MIX Flip has version number 15.30.0. These lines of code were written by Xiaomi to make the app run smoothly on the foldable device.

Also, a Xiaomi AI Translate app for the Redmi K70 Ultra has been leaked. This app is used for instant subtitle translations and has special features for flagship devices. The Xiaomi AI Translate app not only shows us the Redmi K70 Ultra, but also some tweaks for the MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4.

As you can see above, there are 3 smartphones with the codenames “rothko”, “ruyi” and “goku”. These are the Redmi K70 Ultra, MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4 respectively. All this is a proof that the launch of the devices is quite a short time away. We are comparing to apps with versions 4.9.3 and 5.0.0.0.

Apart from these, there is nothing else to say. The features of the devices have already been leaked. The Redmi K70 Ultra will feature the Dimensity 9300 SOC, while the MIX Flip and FOLD 4 will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Both chips are extremely powerful and we’re looking forward to the new smartphones.

Xiaomi continues to attract attention with its innovative steps in the smartphone world. As expected, MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip satellite communication versions were spotted in our database. The technical specifications of the smartphones had already been leaked. Now, Gizmochina is leaking satellite communication versions of these models.

MIX FOLD 4 & MIX Flip satellite communication versions

Satellite communication differs from regular cellular communication as it connects through ground stations and satellites. This technology allows users to stay in contact, especially in areas with limited or no cellular coverage. While cellular networks are effective in densely populated areas such as cities and towns, it can be poor in mountainous, and rural areas. On the other hand, satellite communication provides reliable communication in all situations. That’s why it’s important for Xiaomi to launch devices with satellite communication. The MIX Flip and MIX FOLD 4 were confirmed with 2 different model numbers: 2405AVPB7C and 24076PX3BC. Of course, these models are exclusive to China.

Leaked Specifications of MIX FOLD 4 and MIX Flip

MIX Flip will be Xiaomi’s first Flip model. It will come with a 1.5k resolution display and the second screen will be located just below the cameras. Both smartphones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The main camera will be a 50MP Ovx8000, also known as Light Hunter 800, and will be accompanied by a 60MP Omnivision OV60A telephoto camera. Xiaomi MIX Flip’s rear cameras will consist of these two sensors. In addition to these two cameras, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will be accompanied by a 13MP OV13B ultra wide-angle camera and a 10MP Samsung S5K3K1 telephoto camera.

The satellite communication versions of Xiaomi MIX FOLD 4 and Xiaomi MIX Flip could pioneer a new standard technology in the smartphone world. These models will provide users with the ultimate experience, enabling users to stay in touch anytime and anywhere, while offering wide coverage and seamless connectivity. Expected to be unveiled in early July, these innovative devices are highlighted by their superior technical features.

Satellite communications have been a feature that has been mooted previously in Xiaomi smartphones. In September 2023, it was reported that a special version of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Pro will feature satellite communication but this did not see the light of the day. The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has also been speculated to be testing the satellite communication feature.

The mobile phone has been previously speculated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and adopts a four-camera periscope dual-focal segment route.

The incorporation of satellite communications functionality is bound to increase the premium rating of the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 folding screen smartphone. Additionally, the folding focus of the smartphone will mean it comes with a lighter design. There are no release optics yet for the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4, as well as pricing information.
