Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is here: thinner and lighter body, SD 8 Gen 3 and 5x periscope camera


Foldables in China are developing rapidly – slimming down in size while offering more powerful chipsets, cameras and larger batteries. Xiaomi’s new Mix Fold 4 is impossibly thin and light and it’s going directly at the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Honor Magic V3 while offering a larger main display, four rear cameras including a 5x periscope lens.

At just 226 grams, Mix Fold 4 weighs as much as Honor’s Magic V3 and it’s nearly as thin – 4.59mm unfolded and 9.47 mm in its folded state. Xiaomi went with a curved frame design with the sides tapering into the aluminum frame.

Mix Fold 4’s internal structure features T800H high-strength carbon fiber which is remarkably light while offering a 300% increase in impact protection compared to the Mix Fold 3.

The star of the show is the 7.98-inch main panel which is made from Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and also features FHD+ resolution and an adaptive 1-120 Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi claims both displays can crank out up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and each of them comes with a 20MP front-facing camera.

Like its recent flagship foldable rivals, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 brings Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Xiaomi didn’t spare any resources in the camera department where the Mix Fold 4 brings a Leica quad camera setup with Summilux lenses.
