Xiaomi MIX 5 will be the next flagship offering from the Chinese tech giant. The smartphone’s leaks have been sporadic lately and the only news we learned about the series recently was for the Mix Fold 2. Nevertheless, the Xiaomi MIX 5 is back in the news, this time it has passed the Geekbench certification revealing its performance, ahead of launch.

The Xiaomi MIX 5 has emerged on the Geekbench certification with model number 2203121C. The device scores 1,257 points in the single-core department and 3,456 points in the multi-core department. The phone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC inside that’s clocked at a base frequency of 1.78GHz. It is an octa-core chipset with 4 cores clocked @1.79Ghz, the other 3 cores clocked @2.50GHz, and the last core clocked @3.00GHz.

Xiaomi MIX 5 and MIX 5 Pro Specifications(Rumored)

Earlier, news broke that the Xiaomi MIX 5 will come with improved cameras. It may bring Leica-powered sensors. The device is rumored to come with a 48MP front-facing camera. It is expected to have a 50MP OIS lens, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.

Other details of the MIX 5 are yet to be known. But what we do know, is that the MIX 5 will be accompanied by the MIX 5 Pro. Interestingly, the Xiaomi MIX 5 Pro could have the rumored Surge C2 chipset.

To those unaware, Surge is the company’s self-developed chip that helps in the camera performance of the phone. The last chip was the Surge C1, which was seen in the MIX Fold. Having a successor chip in the MIX 5 Pro will be a good upgrade for the MIX lineup.

Speaking of upgrades, the MIX 5 Pro is expected to bring the same 48MP front-facing camera as the vanilla MIX 5. It is rumored to have a 50MP OIS main lens with a whopping 8192 x 6144 pixels resolution. It will be assisted by a 48MP ultra-wide sensor and a 48MP OIS telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom feature. This is a slightly better camera setup than the vanilla MIX 5 with the OIS and up to 5x zoom support.

Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 Rumors

The last Mi MIX model from the company i.e. the Mi MIX 3 5G was a smartphone that carried support for 5G connectivity. Hence, it goes without saying that its successor model will also come equipped with 5G support. However, its uncertain whether the upcoming Mi MIX model will be called Mi MIX 3s or Mi MIX 4. Since the number 4 is considered as bad omen in China, the company may skip the Mi MIX 4 to launch it as Mi MIX 5.

Xiaomi is expected to announce the next Mi MIX smartphone in October this year. Hence, the rumor mill is expected to spill plenty of information on its specifications and design in the coming weeks. Since it will be a premium flagship phone from the company, it may either feature Snapdragon 855 or Snapdragon 855+. The chances of the company choosing the latter seems likely since the Mi MIX 3 5G was fueled by the SD855 chipset.

Rumors surrounding the upcoming Mi MIX smartphone have revealed that it will be arriving with faster wireless charging technology than 20W wireless charging available on the Xiaomi Mi 9. Also, an XDA Developers report from last week had revealed that the upcoming Mi MIX smartphone will come with reverse wireless charging feature.
