Xiaomi's Lu Weibing Returns and Immediately Convenes Meeting for Next-Generation Foldable Phone, MIX Fold 5 Highly Anticipated

On August 7th, Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing officially returned to the company after a two-week business trip. His first action was to convene a meeting for the next generation of foldable phones, and he expressed on Weibo his hope for suggestions from the public.

As the latest member of Xiaomi's foldable phone series, the MIX Fold 4 has gained market recognition for its lightweight design and powerful performance. However, users have even higher expectations for the next generation. Many netizens left comments on Weibo, hoping for improvements in battery capacity, rear camera module, software compatibility, and other aspects in the MIX Fold 5.

The MIX Fold 4 achieved the ultimate in lightness and thinness, weighing only 226g and boasting a thickness of 4.59mm when unfolded and 9.47mm when closed, making it the thinnest Xiaomi foldable phone to date. This achievement is attributed to Xiaomi's self-developed Dragon Bone Hinge 2.0 technology. Compared to the previous generation, the hinge size has been reduced by 34% and the weight by 16%, successfully achieving stress-free folding for 500,000 times.

The MIX Fold 4 also employs ultra-high-strength steel with a tensile strength of 1800MPa. The use of this material increased from 26.4% in the previous generation to 82.57%, significantly enhancing the phone's robustness and reliability.

In terms of core configuration, the MIX Fold 4 features a 6.56-inch outer screen and a 7.98-inch inner screen, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It houses a 5100mAh Jinshajiang battery and supports 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. The starting price of the phone is 8999 yuan.

Considering Xiaomi's product iteration cycle, the next-generation foldable phone, the MIX Fold 5, is expected to meet the public in the second half of next year. Currently, specific configuration information about the MIX Fold 5 has not been released, but it's certain that Xiaomi will incorporate user feedback and market trends to comprehensively upgrade design, performance, and functionality, delivering a superior user experience.

The arrival of the next-generation foldable phone MIX Fold 5 will further propel the development of the foldable phone market and demonstrate Xiaomi's continuous breakthroughs in innovation and technology. This product is expected to continue leading industry trends in the future, bringing users a more intelligent, efficient, and convenient mobile lifestyle experience.
