Xiaomi introduced the Mix 4 in 2021, featuring an innovative under-display camera that allowed for a full-screen experience. As one of the first flagship smartphones to incorporate this technology, the Mix 4 set a precedent in mobile design. Speculation regarding its successor, the Mix 5, emerged in 2022 and 2023 but eventually quieted down—until now. Recent leaks indicate that Xiaomi is actively preparing to unveil a new device in the Mix series, anticipated to be the Mix 5, which aims to continue the legacy of delivering an uninterrupted screen experience.
Potential Launch of Mix 5
Renowned tipster Digital Chat Station took to Weibo to share insights about a handset featuring an under-display selfie camera. “There is no mass-produced model at this stage, but the relevant technology has been iterating,” the tipster mentioned. The post hints that a production-ready model equipped with the under-display camera could soon be announced.
While the post does not explicitly name the brand or model, the context strongly suggests that it pertains to Xiaomi and the anticipated Mix 5.
Further validation for this rumor came from Indian tipster Kartikey Singh, who reiterated on X that Xiaomi is poised to launch the Mix 5 smartphone. Singh expressed his belief that full-screen smartphones are poised to make a comeback in the market.
These latest rumors suggest that Xiaomi is reinvigorating its Mix series, known for its cutting-edge innovations. The Mix 4’s introduction in 2021 marked Xiaomi’s entrée into under-display camera technology, featuring a 20-megapixel selfie camera embedded beneath the screen.
Previously, discussions surrounding the Xiaomi Mix 5 surfaced on the internet over two years ago, only to fade away. It had been anticipated to launch in the latter half of 2022, equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Speculations also mentioned a 6.73-inch AMOLED display and a 4,820mAh battery capable of 200W fast charging.
