Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 may launch in China soon. The model is expected to succeed the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3, which was unveiled in August 2023. Although the company is yet to confirm the existence of this handset or any of its details, key features of the anticipated book-style foldable smartphone have surfaced online. A tipster has leaked several key specifications of the Mix Fold 4 including chipset and charging.

Tipster Digital Chat Station claimed in a Weibo post (via) that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 gen 3 SoC and will be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of onboard storage. It is said to be equipped with a custom x-axis linear motor and come with a lesser crease on the inner foldable display compared to the preceding model.

In the camera department, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is tipped to feature a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a new periscope lens. The tipster did not hint at other camera details. He noted that the handset will likely support two-way satellite communication.

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is said to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging. It may also carry an IP rating for splash resistance but the tipster did not specify the exact certification. The handset is expected to weigh less than the older model that weighed around 255g. The upcoming model could weigh between 220g and 240g.
