Xiaomi has launched its latest big foldable, the Mix Fold 4. It’s a super-slim foldable with impressive specs and a premium design. The foldable has a big display, a big battery, the latest flagship chipset, a large amount of RAM and storage, and two zoom cameras. Let’s dive deeper into its specs.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 specifications
The Mix Fold 4 is an incredibly slim book-style foldable, measuring just 9.47mm when folded and 4.59mm when unfolded. Not quite as slim as HONOR’s Magic V3 at 9.2mm and 4.35mm, but substantially slimmer than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 (12.1mm/5.6mm). The device sports a big 7.98-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 2224 x 2488 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 3000 nits of peak brightness. It features an Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) panel on top.
Its 6.56-inch cover display boasts the same specs with a 1080 x 2520 pixels resolution. Xiaomi has slapped a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protective layer on the cover screen. The phone has an aluminum frame and comes in glass back and aramid fiber back variants. Depending on which variant you pick, the foldable weighs 226 grams or 228 grams, thanks to Xiaomi’s T800H high-strength carbon fiber. With an IPX8 rating, the Mix Fold 4 is water resistant but isn’t protected against dust.
Under the hood, Xiaomi’s new foldable has Quamcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship processor paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. There’s no micro SD card slot for expandable storage. You do get stereo speakers with 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio, powered by Snapdragon Sound with Harman Kardon tuning. The Mix Fold 4 also offers Wi-Fi 7. However, tri-band support will be added via a software update later (dual-band support out of the box).
The cameras include a 50MP primary rear shooter, a Sonly LYT-800 sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), and an f/1.7 aperture. It’s flanked by a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x zoom, a 10MP periscope camera with 5x zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There are also two 16MP selfie cameras, one each on the cover and main display. While the rear camera supports Dolby Vision HDR and records 8K videos, Xiaomi has limited the selfie shooters to just 1080p video recording.
A big battery in a slim profile
This slim Xiaomi foldable packs a 5,100mAh battery with support for 67W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Other highlights of the Mix Fold 4 include Bluetooth v5.4, NFC, an infrared port, satellite connectivity, and GPS. The device runs Android 14-based HyperOS out of the box with on-device and cloud-based AI features. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a USB Type-C 3.2 port with OTG support.
Xiaomi offers its new foldable in Black, White, and Blue colors. The device will be available in China starting at CNY 8,999 (approx. $1,237) for the 12+256GB variant. The 16GB+512GB variant costs CNY 9,999 (approx. $1,375), while the top tier 16GB+1TB model will set you back by CNY 10,999 (approx. $1,513).
