The Xiaomi MIX 5 has just been quoted and we have gotten a little nervous. The Mi MIX family – already without the “my” in front of it – is one of the most beloved in the company’s telephony. Not surprisingly, a few days ago we asked what Xiaomi star product would you like to arrive in Spain and MIX 4 was mentioned several times.
Today, the always enigmatic Digital Chat Station, the most popular leaker with the Iron Man avatar, has returned to the fray providing data on a future Xiaomi MIX 5. And knowing that the previous iteration was branded a “super-flagship”, the most advanced smartphone ever made by the brand together with the 11 Ultra and the MIX FOLD, the expectations around this new model could not be higher.
Xiaomi MIX 5, uncovered
First of all, it is convenient to warn of a truism: nothing we know has been confirmed by Xiaomi. However, it is very interesting to analyze the leaked data.
The first data is that the progress in the development of the terminal is so fast that it is estimated that it could arrive this year, before the end of 2021, even be available to purchase in the next Christmas offers. At present it would be at the verification stage.
The second is that this terminal will use new technologies and unique improvements: a front “all screen”, without frames or chin, where even the camera is hidden under the screen. We would talk about a 2K front panel compatible with HDR10 + and with a refresh rate of 120Hz.
The processor, as the rumors about the Xiaomi 12 point out, would be a Snapdragon 898 vitaminized SoC with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 3.1 storage. Apparently, another of the rumors points to the weight: Xiaomi would be trying to reduce the space by going to a configuration of materials that matches it with what has already been seen in the Xiaomi CIVI or the 11T Pro: a featherweight that makes it especially comfortable to use.
As for the camera module, it seems that a CMOS would be used more powerful than anything seen to date, being able to overcome the triple combination of 50MP + 50MP + 50MP with five-magnification optical zoom of the Xiaomi 12 Ultra. Presumably it could also record video at 8K 60fps.
Finally, to round out the experience, we would go to the latest 5G innovations, a fast charge compatible battery of at least 120 W – most likely it would bet on the 200 W in cable load and 120W through magnetic induction– and a much more advanced liquid cooling system than seen in other terminals such as MIX Fold itself, with a redesigned isolation chamber.
For dreaming that it does not remain but, on these wickers, it is clear that we are talking about an authentic banner to lead the brand, the killer of the competition that many users expect. Yes indeed, Perhaps the fate of the previous model will run and we will never see it outside its borders, making it impossible to purchase from Spain with the appropriate guarantee.
