Countdown has begun for Xiaomi MIX Fold 4

Xiaomi is preparing to launch its new foldable phone MIX Fold 4. Although an official launch date has not been announced yet, blind orders starting in China indicate that the device will be introduced soon. According to information received, the phone is expected to be introduced in July.

Pre-orders, which started in China, are made with a deposit of 100 yuan (about $14) and offer some benefits. These benefits include priority at purchase, access to all official launch promotions and giveaways, the chance to be among the first to receive the device when it launches, and special launch discounts. There is also the flexibility to cancel orders and receive a full refund after the official launch.

According to leaked information, MIX Fold 4 will have a more premium design than its predecessor. The rear panel will feature a faux leather finish, while there will be a raised rectangular module housing the quad cameras, LED flash and Leica logo. The camera system includes a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra wide-angle lens, 60MP 2x telephoto lens and 10MP 5x periscope telephoto lens.

The device will be less than 10mm thin when folded and will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. The phone, which is expected to have a battery capacity of more than 5,000mAh, will also offer wireless charging support. Other upgrades include satellite communications, 5G support, and IPX8 water resistance.

MIX Fold 4 will be exclusive to the Chinese market and will compete with rivals such as Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and Honor Magic V3. Xiaomi’s new foldable phone seems to arouse great interest in the market.
