Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 to offer four 50MP cameras, including a periscope one

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 could end up offering a truly compelling camera setup. Based on a new rumor, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will end up featuring four 50MP cameras on the back, including a periscope telephoto unit.

The Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 to offer four 50MP cameras, including a periscope unit

This information comes from Digital Chat Station, a well-known Chinese tipster. He shared some information not only about the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4, but the Xiaomi MIX Flip as well. In addition to the camera info we’ve already mentioned, he said that both devices will be thin and light.

That would suggest that the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 will be even thinner and lighter than its predecessor. We’re not sure how will Xiaomi achieve that with four 50MP cameras on the back, but it remains to be seen.

The Xiaomi MIX Flip, on the other hand, will be the first of its kind… for Xiaomi. This will become the company’s very first clamshell foldable, and it’s expected to arrive this year.

The tipster also said that the Xiaomi MIX Flip will include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. So, Xiaomi plans to make this smartphone just as powerful as some of its flagships… in terms of performance. A previous rumor claimed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be used.

Xiaomi’s first flip phone could ship with a “zero-perception crease”

The device will also feature a “zero-perception crease”. In other words, the crease will be barely noticeable, as is the case on some other foldables out there, like the OnePlus Open. Who knows, perhaps Xiaomi can up the ante even further.

It will be interesting to see how will Xiaomi handle the hinge. We presume that a teardrop curve for the display will be used, but we’ll see. Perhaps Xiaomi has an even better idea up its sleeve.

We’re not sure when will these devices arrive, but the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 launched in August last year. It’s possible Xiaomi will be aiming for a similar launch timeframe again.
