Xiaomi’s next foldable phone, the Mix Fold 4, is gearing up to be a leader in the foldable market. Leaked information suggests it will be the thinnest foldable yet, boasting a sleek design, powerful internals, and a camera system that promises impressive photo and video capabilities.
Thinnest Foldable Yet
According to rumors circulating since May, the Mix Fold 4 will dethrone the upcoming Honor Magic V3 as the slimmest foldable phone on the market. A leaked image that surfaced recently appears to confirm this claim. While the material of the phone’s back is uncertain (potentially fake leather or glass), the image showcases a design that prioritizes thinness.
Image Leak Reveals Design Cues
The leaked image offers a glimpse into the Mix Fold 4’s rear design. The camera layout differs from its predecessor, featuring a quad-camera system housed within a rectangular module. While the final design might differ slightly, the leak provides a solid idea of what to expect.
Powerful Performance and Durability
The leak also sheds light on the Mix Fold 4’s internal specifications. The phone is rumored to be equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, ensuring smooth performance for multitasking and demanding applications. Additionally, it’s expected to be water-resistant with an IPx8 rating, offering peace of mind in case of accidental spills.
Camera System and Battery
The Mix Fold 4 is shaping up to be a powerhouse in the camera department as well. Leaks suggest a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) for capturing sharp, detailed photos. It will likely be accompanied by a 60MP telephoto lens for zooming in without sacrificing quality, a 12MP ultrawide sensor for capturing expansive scenes, and a 10MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom for bringing distant subjects closer.
The phone is also rumored to pack a hefty 5,000mAh battery or even larger, keeping you powered throughout the day. Fast charging support with speeds of up to 67W is also a possibility, based on recent certifications.
Possible July Launch
Earlier rumors hinted at a joint launch for the Mix Fold 4 and the Mix Flip, Xiaomi’s first foray into flip foldables. While the third quarter of 2024 (July to September) was the expected timeframe, some whispers suggest a potential July launch for the Mix Fold 4. With the official unveiling inching closer, we can expect more details to surface in the coming weeks.
