Xiaomi is reportedly developing the Xiaomi Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4 for the Chinese market, with speculations suggesting that the Mix Flip might make its debut alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra by the end of the month. In contrast, the Mix Fold 4 is anticipated to be unveiled in the second quarter of the year. A recent Weibo post by the tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) revealed crucial details about what appears to be the Mix Flip, slated to be Xiaomi’s inaugural vertically foldable smartphone.
DCS’s Weibo post highlights that the
internal foldable screen of the Xiaomi Mix Flip is touted as having “zero
creases.” The rear of the device is expected to feature a dual-camera system
comprising a 50-megapixel primary camera and a telephoto camera. Discussing the
design, the tipster noted that the Mix Flip’s cover screen and dual-camera
system will have a simple appeal. The leak reiterates previous reports that the
device will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and support for
satellite connectivity.
Furthermore, the leaker shared additional
insights into the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, which is also said to incorporate the
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and satellite communications support. The Mix Flip and
Mix Fold 4 are expected to boast an extremely thin and lightweight design.
Notably, the Mix Fold 4 is expected to
shed considerable weight compared to the Mix Fold 3, which weighs approximately
255 to 259 grams. While the leaker did not delve into specific details, it
seems that the company has maintained the display quality and fast charging
capabilities for both the Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4. The latter is also tipped to
feature a quad-camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto
camera.
