Xiaomi is preparing to launch its most advanced foldable phone to date, the MIX Fold 4. While the official launch date hasn't been disclosed, reports from China indicate that offline blind pre-orders have already begun, suggesting a likely launch in July. These pre-orders require a 100 yuan deposit and offer several benefits, including priority selection during the purchase, access to official launch promotions and gifts, early delivery, and potential exclusive launch discounts. Customers can also opt for a full refund if they decide to cancel after the phone's official announcement.

| MIX Fold 4 is expected to be incredibly thin |
The MIX Fold 4 is rumored to feature a more premium design compared to its predecessor. Leaked images suggest that the back panel might have a faux leather finish and a raised rectangular camera module. This module is expected to house a quad-camera system, including a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 60MP 2x telephoto lens, and a 10MP 5x periscope telephoto lens, along with an LED flash. The Leica branding is also prominent, indicating a continued partnership for camera optimization.
In terms of dimensions, the MIX Fold 4 is expected to be incredibly thin, measuring less than 10mm when folded. The phone will likely be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with a battery exceeding 5,000mAh capacity, supporting wireless charging.
Other anticipated upgrades include satellite communication, 5G network support, and an IPX8 water resistance rating. However, it’s important to note that the MIX Fold 4 is expected to be exclusive to the Chinese market, aligning with Xiaomi's strategy for its previous foldable devices. This phone is poised to compete with other high-end foldables, such as the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and the Honor Magic V3.
As Xiaomi continues to expand its foldable phone lineup, the MIX Fold 4 represents a significant step forward, combining cutting-edge technology and design to challenge established players in the foldable phone market.
