Xiaomi is set to add more members to its Mix series. Previous leaks and rumors had suggested that Xiaomi would soon launch the Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip. Now, Xiaomi has officially announced that the devices will be released this month.
The Mix Fold 4 will serve as the successor to the Mix Fold 3, which was launched in August last year. However, it looks like Xiaomi will launch the successor a little earlier. At the same time, Xiaomi will launch its first foldable smartphone. The news was shared on Xiaomi’s social media accounts. The poster revealed that Xiaomi’s new factory is now in full production mode. This is a highlight as it is a digitalized smart factory with 100% automation of key processes.
The factory also produces the upcoming Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip. The company has also confirmed a July launch, but has not revealed any technical specifications or other information about the device.
Starting in July: A strategic step?
The July starting month is an interesting choice for Xiaomi. For those who don’t know: the Samsung Unpacked event is scheduled for July 10th. Samsung is expected to unveil its latest folding devices, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. And with Xiaomi unveiling the Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip this month, it seems like Xiaomi has its sights set on Samsung. No date has been announced yet, but it is expected to be later this month. This is a strategic move by Xiaomi to release a foldable device in the same month. It will also be interesting to see what Xiaomi’s first flip-style device will be like.
