Xiaomi has quite a few new phones coming this month! In addition to the Redmi K70 Supreme Edition, on July 8th, Xiaomi's founder, chairman, and CEO, Lei Jun, officially announced that Xiaomi's first vertical foldable phone, the MIX Flip, and the iterative large foldable phone, the MIX Fold4, will also be released this month. Currently, Lei Jun's Weibo tail has been changed to "Xiaomi New Phone", but it's unclear which of the two phones it refers to.

As Xiaomi's highest-end foldable phone series, the MIX Fold series has always been favored by many consumers for its excellent performance in product design and new technology applications. Following rumors that the latest model, the MIX Fold4, had obtained all necessary certifications and was about to be unveiled, a source recently exposed the back renderings and camera configuration information of this model.

First, according to the leak, Xiaomi's MIX Fold 4 foldable phone, with the "satellite mobile terminal" feature, has passed the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's network access examination. The device model is 24072PX77C, supporting Tiantong satellite communication and 5.5G networks.

It is reported that this is Xiaomi's third flagship model to support satellite communication.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 has an internal development codename of "goku" and model identifiers of "N18" with model codes "24072PX77C" and "24076PX3BC". Among them, "24072PX77C" corresponds to the special version supporting satellite communication, while "24076PX3BC" is the standard version. The "C" suffix in the model number indicates the device's Chinese origin, in contrast to Xiaomi's other foldable newcomer, the MIX Flip, which will shoulder the responsibility of expanding the international market.

Xiaomi MIX Flip, codenamed "Ruyi," with a model mark of "N8," is planned to be launched globally, including Turkey and several other countries on its target market list. In sharp contrast to the MIX Fold 4, the MIX Flip not only represents Xiaomi's global ambitions in the foldable phone segment but will also be the brand's first flip-form factor foldable phone, expected to debut alongside the MIX Fold 4.

More notably, Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 has undergone significant optimization in body thickness. According to leaked information, this flagship phone measures less than 10mm in thickness when folded, making it one of the thinnest foldable phones in the industry. Additionally, it supports IPX8 water resistance, has a battery capacity exceeding 5000mAh, and supports 67W flash charging technology, ensuring a long-lasting user experience.

In terms of camera configuration, the phone features a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 60-megapixel 2x telephoto lens, and a 1000-megapixel 5x periscope telephoto lens. The front camera is 16-megapixel and equipped with a Leica Summilux lens, providing photography enthusiasts with an outstanding photography experience.

In terms of hardware configuration, Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 platform, offering users powerful performance support. It also supports bidirectional satellite communication, making communication more flexible and convenient. For unlocking, the phone adopts a side fingerprint recognition solution, providing users with a more convenient unlocking experience.

Furthermore, let's summarize the phone's leaked specifications:

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3

Communication: 5.5G, Tiantong satellite communication

Camera: 50MP OV50E main camera + OV13B ultra-wide-angle lens, complemented by OV60A portrait lens (2X) + S5K3K1 ultra-thin periscope telephoto lens (5X)

Overall, Xiaomi MIX Fold4 boasts impressive specifications and a sleek design. With dual telephoto lenses, its weight will inevitably be affected, estimated to be between 220 and 240 grams. This weight is certainly acceptable for a large foldable phone, and Xiaomi has delivered on the specifications.

Moreover, as July approaches, Mingmei Infinite notes that in addition to the MIX Fold 4 and MIX Flip, multiple new products such as the Redmi K70 Ultra will also be released, collectively building Xiaomi's market offensive for the second half of the year.
