Xiaomi just held its 2024 Lei Jun Annual Speech at ShouGang Stadium where the company officially launched the new Xiaomi MIX lineup. These include the impressive new Xiaomi MIX Fold 4, so read on to learn more.
Using high-strength materials paired with a wear-resistant carbon ceramic steel transmission mechanism has improved the hinge reliability of the MIX Fold lineup. Moreover, the overall thickness and weight have been significantly reduced, with the total hinge volume reduced by 34%.
The new design has an unfolded thickness of just 4.59mm and a folded thickness of 9.47mm. This design breakthrough provides users with an unprecedented, lightweight experience.
Besides that, for the first time, the MIX Fold 4 fully adopts "all-carbon architecture”, with a hinge floating plate, display backing plate and middle plate battery compartment all precision-moulded from T800H carbon fibre material.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and an innovative 3D colling system with a large-area colling measuring 11,912 square millimetres. In terms of battery, the 5100mAh cell features new-generation silicon-carbon anode technology, enhancing energy density.
The self-developed Xiaomi Surge battery management system controls charging and discharging processes, effectively extending battery life, while 67W wired charging and 50W wireless charging balance fast charging with battery health. The new generation E7 luminous material and Pol-less Plus technology offer low-power consumption by the display, helping users ease battery anxiety.
In terms of network functionality, the MIX Fold 4 is equipped with a powerful antenna architecture, including four industry-leading low-frequency receiving antennas and four Xiaomi Surge T1 signal enhancement chips. This is deeply integrated with the Xiaomi HyperOS network subsystem to ensure smooth communication in various holding positions and usage environments. Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 also supports two-way satellite communication, providing connectivity even in remote areas without cellular signal coverage.
MIX Fold 4 comes with 2 top-tier flagship displays, with the inner display featuring a 7.98-inch Samsung E7 LTPO panel with a resolution of 2488x2244, supporting a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and HDR10+ for unparalleled visual effects. The outer display is a 6.56-inch C8+ panel with a resolution of 2520x1080, which also supports a 120Hz high refresh rate and a P3 colour gamut display. The inner display uses advanced Pol-less Plus technology, significantly reducing power consumption while enhancing brightness and colour performance, ensuring the best visual experience possible in unfolded and folded states.
Imaging-wise, the MIX Fold 4 features a Leica optical quad-camera system covering all focal lengths. Despite the device being thinner and lighter, its imaging capabilities have been significantly enhanced. The main camera uses a new 50MP Light Fusion 800 high dynamic range sensor, introducing "Dual Native ISO Fusion Max" technology for the first time in Xiaomi's foldable products. This technology provides more accurate colour reproduction and better detail retention in high-contrast scenes. The 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens offers a 120° field of view, while the 50MP Leica floating telephoto lens delivers excellent portrait effects and macro photography capabilities. The 115mm Leica ultra-telephoto lens, with a periscope structure, also supports close-up shooting.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is available in White, Black, Blue, and Xiaomi composite fibre editions, with various memory versions. Stay tuned to TechNave for more updates regarding the foldable, including its imminent launch in Malaysia.
