Xiaomi has unveiled its premiere foldable flagship, the Mix Fold 4, bringing a blend of powerful hardware and a notably slim profile. The release notes from GSMArena highlight this achievement.
Centered around a redesigned Dragon Bone Hinge 2.0, Xiaomi managed to shave 34% off the hinge system compared with the prior model. That engineering feat directly translates to a device that sits among the thinnest foldables on the market. When folded, the Mix Fold 4 sits at 9.47 mm, and when opened, it stretches to 4.59 mm. Remarkably, the overall weight remains comfortable for daily use, tipping the scales at 226 grams.
The device doubles as a dual-display system: a compact external screen measuring 6.5 inches and a flexible inner panel spanning 7.98 inches. Each panel features OLED technology with a 120 Hz refresh rate and peak brightness around 3,000 nits, delivering smooth visuals whether the phone is closed or unfolded.
Camera performance is a centerpiece of the Mix Fold 4, boasting six lenses in total. Each display houses a 16-megapixel front camera, while the rear camera array centers on a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical stabilization (OIS). A 12-megapixel ultra-wide module complements the setup, and the main camera system is further enhanced by a telephoto unit with OIS and 2x optical zoom, plus a periscope telephoto lens offering up to five-fold zoom with OIS. The optics and image processing algorithms were developed in collaboration with Leica to deliver distinctive color science and precise detail capture. [Attribution: GSMArena]
Powering the Mix Fold 4 is the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with options for 12 or 16 GB of RAM and storage configurations of 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB. This combination targets both everyday multitasking and demanding workloads, with responsive performance across apps, gaming, and media consumption. [Attribution: GSMArena]
A substantial 5100 mAh battery supports 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging, enabling quick top-ups for long days of heavy use. The device also carries water resistance rated to IPX8, enhancing resilience against accidental splashes and brief immersions. In the Chinese market, the Mix Fold 4 is priced from 8999 yuan, which roughly translates to about 108,000 rubles in local currency terms, reflecting Xiaomi’s premium positioning in the foldable segment.

Earlier reports noted Xiaomi’s broader push into ultra-thin foldables, a category that includes several competitors pursuing lighter, more compact foldable designs. The Mix Fold 4 appears aimed at users who want a large interior display without sacrificing pocketability, along with Leica-tuned photography and a balance of horsepower and battery life. Consumers can expect refined software integration to manage dual displays, multi-tasking, and camera workflows in daily use. [Attribution: GSMArena]
In terms of durability and daily practicality, the combination of the 9.47 mm folded thickness, robust hinge engineering, and a substantial battery capacity makes the Mix Fold 4 a strong contender for those who value tablet-like real estate in a pocket-friendly package. The external display is useful for quick interactions, while the expansive inner screen opens up to immersive media experiences, gaming, and productivity tasks. The Leica-tuned optics reinforce the brand’s emphasis on image quality, offering a recognizable look alongside versatile zoom capabilities and solid stabilization. [Attribution: GSMArena]

Previous leaks and announcements have teased ongoing competition in the space, with several brands vying to deliver the thinnest and most capable foldables on the market. The Mix Fold 4’s blend of a slim profile, substantial interior display, flagship chip, and Leica-tuned optics positions it as a noteworthy entry in this growing category. As consumers compare models, the balance between display quality, camera versatility, battery endurance, and overall weight will likely influence purchasing decisions across Canada and the United States.
