Last August, Xiaomi officially released the MIX Fold3 folding screen phone, which is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor and features Xiaomi's self-developed Longgu hinge. Additionally, it boasts a Leica optical full-focal-length quad-camera setup, offering users a brand-new folding screen experience. The starting price of the Xiaomi MIX Fold3 is 8999 yuan. In the second half of this year, Xiaomi is set to launch its next-generation folding screen phone, the Xiaomi MIX Fold4. Currently, bloggers have already revealed the detailed parameters of this new device.

Firstly, the imaging system of this phone has been upgraded, but specific details have not yet been announced.

A blogger revealed: "The latest Snapdragon 8 Gen3 large folding screen phone, which I mentioned before, has an NPI battery capacity starting with 5 and retains wireless charging. The screen resolution has been improved, with a conventional large inner fold. Both the inner and outer screens feature OV16F front cameras. The camera setup includes a 50Mp OV50E new large-sensor main camera, OV13B ultra-wide-angle lens, OV60A 2X new vertical telephoto lens, and S5K3K1 5X new module periscope telephoto lens. The most important aspect is the slim design and significant weight reduction."

According to the blogger, the Xiaomi MIX Fold4 will adopt a rear quad-camera module, consisting of a large-sensor main camera, ultra-wide-angle lens, 2X telephoto lens, and periscope telephoto lens. While the number of lenses remains the same as the previous generation, there should be significant improvements in lens quality. Additionally, the new device will feature upgrades in screen resolution, battery capacity, and weight control.

The blogger also revealed some other details about the Xiaomi MIX Fold4. He stated that the total weight of the device is between 220g and 240g, and the hinge has been redesigned to be more durable with smaller creases. It also supports bidirectional satellite communication and IP68 waterproofing. Furthermore, the Xiaomi MIX Fold4 will be powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 8 processor and offer up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.

It is worth mentioning that according to authoritative sources, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will adopt an advanced Tiantong satellite solution. This innovative technology uses satellites as communication base stations, enabling the phone to establish direct communication network connections with satellites, eliminating the need for ground base stations and satellite earth stations in traditional communication methods. While maintaining users' original usage habits, the MIX Fold 4 realizes voice and text messaging communication functions supported by terrestrial mobile communication networks, successfully overcoming technical challenges such as cross-network protocol conversion between satellite networks and terrestrial networks.

Of course, even in outdoor open areas where terrestrial network signals are unavailable, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 can still demonstrate powerful communication capabilities. Users can easily make and receive satellite phone calls, send satellite messages, and real-time latitude and longitude information. This feature allows users to maintain close contact with the outside world during outdoor exploration, work, or emergencies, demonstrating extremely high reliability.

Additionally, according to reliable sources, the MIX Fold 4 has an internal research and development codename of "N18" and will be equipped with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform, ensuring robust performance. In terms of battery, the device adopts a dual-cell design with capacities of 2390mAh and 2485mAh, respectively, resulting in a total capacity of approximately 5000mAh. Simultaneously, the MIX Fold 4 supports wireless charging technology.

In the imaging system, the MIX Fold 4's rear camera setup features a luxurious quad-camera combination. The main camera employs a 50-megapixel OV50E sensor paired with an OV13B ultra-wide-angle lens. Additionally, the inclusion of an OV60A portrait lens (2X) and an S5K3K1 ultra-thin periscope telephoto lens (5X) endows the device with exceptional capabilities in portrait photography and long-distance photography. The front camera features a 16-megapixel OV16F selfie lens, meeting users' needs for selfies and video calls.

Incidentally, Mingmei Infinity previously reported that the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 folding screen phone has passed 3C network access certification, and its rear renderings have also been revealed. The device supports Tiantong satellite communication and 5G-enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) technology. The detailed specifications of the phone are as follows:

For reference, the previous generation Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 offers options in Dragon Scale Fiber Edition, Starlight Gold, and Moon Shadow Black colors. It utilizes Xiaomi's Longgu hinge and weighs as little as 255g. The external screen measures 6.56 inches, while the internal screen is 8.03 inches, featuring Samsung E6 OLED material with a global brightness of 1300nit and a peak brightness of 2600nit, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the second-generation Snapdragon 8 leading edition. The rear camera setup includes a 50MP IMX800 Leica main camera (equivalent to a 23mm focal length) + 10MP Leica telephoto lens (equivalent to a 75mm focal length) + 10MP Leica periscope telephoto lens (equivalent to a 115mm focal length) + 12MP Leica ultra-wide-angle lens (equivalent to a 15mm focal length). It houses a 4800mAh battery that supports 67W Xiaomi HyperCharge wired fast charging, 50W Xiaomi HyperCharge wireless fast charging, and wireless reverse charging.

Based on the current information, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is expected to bring upgrades in screen, performance, imaging, battery life, and other aspects. Interested friends can stay tuned.

By the way, in addition to the large folding screen phone, Xiaomi is also expected to launch a new small folding model, the Xiaomi MIX Flip, in the near future.

A separate leak from a digital blogger mentioned a small folding phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 and described its specifications as decent.

In terms of specifications, this new device will feature a 1.5K high refresh rate eye-protecting inner folding screen, a front-facing 32-megapixel OV32B lens, and a rear 50Mp 1/1.55"+OV60A 2X Tele lens. It supports at least 60W fast charging, and its internal battery capacity is relatively large for a small folding phone.

In terms of design, this new device is equipped with a large external secondary screen, and the rear camera module adopts a punch-hole design on the external screen. Overall, it is positioned as a lightweight and versatile device.

Judging from the leaked information, it is highly likely that this refers to the Xiaomi MIX Flip.

Previously, there were rumors that the Xiaomi MIX Flip would support satellite communication. However, based on recent leaks from digital bloggers, it seems that this feature may have been canceled for the new device, and the pricing is also expected to be lower than previously planned.

In conclusion, the MIX Fold 4 is considered Xiaomi's most powerful folding screen phone to date and is expected to make its official debut in the second half of this year. Are you looking forward to its arrival?
