Xiaomi’s new Mix Fold 4 is impossibly thin and light and it’s going directly at the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Honor Magic V3 while offering a larger main display, four rear cameras including a 5x periscope lens. At just 226 grams, Mix Fold 4 weighs as much as Honor’s Magic V3 and it’s nearly as thin - 4.59mm unfolded and 9.47 mm in its folded state. Xiaomi went with a curved frame design with the sides tapering into the aluminum frame.
Mix Fold 4’s internal structure features
T800H high-strength carbon fiber which is remarkably light while offering a
300% improvement in impact resistance compared to the Mix Fold 3. This is also
the first Xiaomi foldable with an IPX8 rating, making it water resistant up to
1.5 meters for 30 minutes. There’s a 6.56-inch LTPO OLED cover display with
FHD+ resolution, a 1-120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a 21:9 aspect ratio.
The star of the show is the 7.98-inch main
panel which is made from Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and also features FHD+
resolution and an adaptive 1-120 Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi claims both displays
can crank out up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and each of them comes with a
20MP front-facing camera. Like its recent flagship foldable rivals, Xiaomi Mix
Fold 4 brings Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with up to 16GB RAM
and 1TB storage.
Xiaomi didn’t spare any resources in the
camera department where the Mix Fold 4 brings a Leica quad camera setup with
Summilux lenses. The main shooter features a 23mm equivalent 50MP main sensor
with f/1.7 aperture and OIS. You also get a 50MP 2x portrait sensor (47mm) and
a 10MP periscope with 5x optical zoom and 115mm equivalent lens. The fourth
shooter on the back is a 15mm equivalent 12MP ultrawide lens.
Mix Fold 4 boots Xiaomi HyperOS based on
Android 14 and packs a 5,100mAh Xiaomi Surge battery with 67W wired and 50W
wireless charging. Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 comes in black, white, and blue colors.
