Xiaomi Mix Fold 5's Launch Timeline Hinted at by New Certification

Xiaomi's upcoming Mix Fold 5 could be arriving sooner than previously anticipated. The foldable may have just been certified for sale in China with the model number 2608BPX34C. This is interesting because the Mix Fold 5 has reached this step before any of the Xiaomi 18 family members.

When Will the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 Launch?

The early certification could imply that the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 won't launch alongside the Xiaomi 18 devices in September, but will perhaps be introduced earlier. There's usually something happening in mid-August, and that sounds like a pretty good bet for a potential launch window.

What Chipset Will the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 Use?

Unlike the Xiaomi 18 family, the Mix Fold 5 doesn't have to wait for Qualcomm to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, since it won't be using that. Previous rumors told us that the Mix Fold 5 will instead go with Xiaomi's own Xring O3 SoC, the much improved successor to the O1 from last year.

What Are the Expected Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 Specs?

The foldable is expected to come with a range of strong specifications, including:

• Display: A 7.5" to 7.6" inner screen with a seamless crease.
• Camera: A 200MP camera.
• Fingerprint sensor: A side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
• Battery: A 6,000 mAh battery which will support wireless charging.
