Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 may be the folding phone with 60 MP camera
After many years we finally saw the arrival of the folding smartphones. Samsung started the game officiating its Galaxy Fold, and Huawei came right behind with Mate X, with the different mechanism. While the first has a screen that folds inwards, the second one out, taking away the need for the existence of a second display on the “outside”.
Xiaomi also seems interested in investing in this new category, since we have already seen some videos showing a device of the brand being handled. It was believed that the device would be called the Xiaomi Mi Fold, but new information points out that it should simply be the new generation of a line we already know.
We all know that Xiaomi has a folding phone in development that planted face Samsung Galaxy Fold or Huawei Mate X. It has already been seen on video and it seems that could be closer than it seems. Without going any further, there are already rumors that this terminal would be the next model in the Mi Mix range, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. But this terminal would have more surprises.
According to a leak that came from the Alipay smartphone rental page in China, the new foldable could be the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. This is because on the page we see four handsets, being the Oppo Reno, the Huawei P30, the Mate X and the My Mix 4. There is no other leaked information or official tips on how the device should look, but on the page, we have a double folding screen. Also, the possibility of the smartphone having a rear photographic sensor of no more, no less than 60 megapixels, as the expected launch for the second half of 2019 is still mentioned.
The Mix series has always been where the company experimented with some novelties, where it tried to innovate. With this, it makes sense to think that the folding of the brand is even the Mi Mix 4. Still, it is also important to think that this is a very vague rumor, and may not be confirmed. So we will have to wait for the second half of the year to find out more.
To get the background, it is timely to talk about AliPay. As you can tell by your name, it is a payment system similar to PayPal, but with an oriental origin. We are talking about a platform of the Alibaba group born a long time ago to allow all kinds of online payments. And why do we talk about this mobile payment system? Because, precisely, this is where the first features of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 have been filtered, a smartphone that has not yet a release date but from which the Chinese firm has already advanced that could be presented much earlier than expected. If the Mi Mix usually appears at the end of the year, we may have the first folding smartphone of the brand in the summer.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 4: Foldable and with 60 MP camera
The capture of Alipay refers to some of the Chinese smartphones that have already been announced, such as the Oppo Reno, the Huawei P30 or the Huawei Mate X, but it also shows one that has not yet been officially presented. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. Also, the capture advances some of the characteristics of the mobile. The first of them we have already advanced, and that is that we would be facing the famous Xiaomi folding smartphone that has already appeared on the Web a couple of times. The second has to do with your camera. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 would mount a triple rear camera but it would be headed by the main sensor of nothing more and nothing less than 60 MP.
Although AliPay is not any Chinese store that uses the desire of users to attract visitors filtering false information from devices as expected as the OnePlus 7, we must recognize that the information is not as reliable as we could wish. It is expected that Xiaomi’s first folding mobile will be part of a new family of telephones and will not be a member of the Mi Mix range. That incorporates a 60 MP camera can be, but the big question is to know if the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will be as it advances this filtration.
Xiaomi is planning to launch a smartphone with a notch at the bottom of the screen to accommodate the front photosensors. In all this is suggested by a patent spotted by LetsGoDigital. The diagram is available at the end of the article. This is a dual sensor that is mentioned for the front of the device, positioned either at the bottom center or with a module in the lower left corner and the other in the lower right corner. For such a device, we immediately think of Mi Mix 4. Xiaomi has made a specialty of eccentricities concerning the front camera on smartphones in this range. We remember the Mi Mix and Mi Mix 2 and their front sensor located in the chin of the mobile. The notch system would remove this bottom edge while keeping the sensors at the bottom. For its part, the Mi Mix 3 board a slider to offer a borderless screen that does not interfere with the sensors.
It is for the moment only a patent, so we know that Xiaomi is considering or has considered such a solution, without it being possible to say that the design of Mi Mix 4 will look like this. It seems rather strange that Xiaomi returns to the notch on his next flagship while all manufacturers are working to his death. After the notch in the form of the more discreet water drop, the trend is on the punched screen as on the Galaxy S10 or Honor View 20. The drawer or pop-up systems are still little democratized.
