After presenting the Xiaomi 12 series, the Chinese company still has a few other flagships waiting to launch this year. Unfortunately, it looks like a device will be scrapped off the list, and it's the Xiaomi Mix 5.

According to the latest information from reputable tipster Ice Universe, the Xiaomi Mix 4 will not get its successor in 2022. However, the company will proceed with launching its next-generation folding device, which is the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. The device is expected to arrive in June and is exclusive to China only, just like previous Mix devices.

Although there will be no standard Mix flagship, the Mix Fold 2 should be something that can carry all the weight on its shoulders. The device with model number 22061218C and codename 'zizhan' is said to be the first folding device with a 360-degree hinge. It is also expected to get equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip and a 2.5K LTPO high refresh rate internal screen. Previous rumour suggests that the Mix Fold 2 would have improved crease too.
