Xiaomi Mix Fold 5: Xiaomi is said to be preparing for a robust comeback into the foldable phone space with a meaningful update in its Mix Fold series. While the company is releasing several new phones in China this June,a major insider leak points towards what’s expected next year. A reliable insider has shared information about the revamped Xiaomi Mix Fold,giving a hint towards significant upgrades that may redefine expectations.
Next-generation Xiaomi Mix Fold to provide new aspect ratio
As tipped by Smart Pikachu,Xiaomi is set to revive its horizontally foldable phone series with a new new aspect ratio and other improvements. The name of the current successor is not yet confirmed—it may be the Xiaomi Mix Fold 6 or something different. Though the actual changes were not discussed,the reference to a new aspect ratio indicates a redesign perhaps to improve usability,screen size,or portability.
The Next-gen Mix Fold is tested with a Snapdragon chip
Smart Pikachu’s leak also verifies that the next Mix Fold is being tested with a Snapdragon chipset. While the chip model hasn’t been mentioned,the use of Snapdragon suggests that flagship-level performance is a priority. The testing phase is indicative of serious development and supports rumors of a high-end device in the works. So far,no other such information as camera,battery,or software features have been leaked.
Xiaomi’s tri-foldable smartphone in development
In addition,the latest reports indicate that Xiaomi is developing a tri-foldable phone that looks like the Huawei Mate XT. Codenamed “zhuque” and model number 26013VP46C,this phone may come out in Q1 2026. It is not yet sure whether this tri-foldable will be a follow-up of the Mix Fold series or debut as a standalone model. Xiaomi may launch both a horizontally foldable phone and a tri-fold one next year,diversifying its foldable portfolio.
Several launches scheduled for June 2025
Before its next foldable arrives,Xiaomi will introduce several other devices this month in China. The Mix Flip 2 is likely to come along with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. With it,the firm will introduce the Redmi K80 Ultra based on the Dimensity 9400+ as well as a gaming-oriented tablet. This new tablet will aim to rival the Red Magic gaming tablet and Lenovo Legion Y700 (Gen 4),highlighting Xiaomi’s aggressive approach in different device segments.
