Foldable devices in China are developing rapidly, becoming smaller and offering more powerful chipsets, cameras and larger batteries. Xiaomi’s new Mix Fold 4 is impossibly thin and light and goes straight to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 And Honor Magic V3 while the device has a larger main display and four cameras on the back, including a 5x periscope lens.
At just 226 grams, the Mix Fold 4 weighs the same as the Honor Magic V3 and is almost as thin – 4.59mm when unfolded and 9.47mm when folded. Xiaomi opted for a curved frame design, with sides that taper into the aluminum frame.
The internal structure of the Mix Fold 4 is made of high-strength T800H carbon fiber, which is remarkably light and offers 300% better impact resistance than the Mix Fold 3.
This is also the first Xiaomi foldable phone to come with an IPX8 rating, meaning it is water resistant up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.
The device features a 6.56-inch LTPO OLED cover display with an FHD+ resolution, an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz, and a 21:9 aspect ratio.
The star of the show is the 7.98-inch main panel which is made of Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and also features FHD+ resolution and an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi claims that both displays can deliver up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and each of them comes with a 20MP camera on the front.
Like its recent flagship foldable rivals, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
Xiaomi hasn’t spared any resources in the camera department, with the Mix Fold 4 featuring a Leica quad-camera setup with Summilux lenses.
The main camera has a 23mm equivalent 50MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture and OIS. You also get a 50MP 2x portrait sensor (47mm) and a 10MP periscope with 5x optical zoom and a 115mm equivalent lens. The fourth camera on the back is a 15mm equivalent 12MP ultra-wide angle lens.
Mix Fold 4 runs on Xiaomi HyperOS based on Android 14 and has a 5,100mAh Xiaomi Surge battery with 67W wired and 50W wireless charging.
