Our favorite Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is preparing its next innovative flagship smartphone with the label Xiaomi MIX 5. Preliminary detailed technical specifications, possible sales prices, as well as the official release date of this device have already reached the Internet.
Xiaomi MIX 5: Expected selling price
Let's start with one of the most controversial numbers. And that is the selling price of a new one Xiaomi MIX 5 a Xiaomi MIX 5 Pro. The official price of the predecessor MIX 4 started at 4999 Chinese yuan, that is, approximately 722 € / 722 USD. At this price, the smartphone sold out within minutes. So it was an undeniable success, despite the fact that it was only sold on the Chinese market.
The new Xiaomi MIX 5 is expected to start at the same price of 4999 Chinese yuan (approx. 722 € / 722 USD), while the upgraded Pro model will start at 6299 Chinese yuan (approx. 911 € / USD 911). The first leaks were sourced from Sina.com and all point to this price category.
However, other sources report for the configuration 8GB RAM + 256GB sumo up to 6599 yuan (approx. 954 € / USD 954). So it is clear that this premium device will definitely not be cheap.
The design of this smartphone and cooperation with Leica
A major leak of specifications regarding the device MIX 5 appeared last November. He says that the device is under development and the brand will try to break several records with it. A device leak was also discovered later MIX 5 Pro, which could probably also include a camera sensor made in collaboration with the German manufacturer Leica. Similar to the case with the Xiaomi 12S series.
Xiaomi MIX 4 made it clear to us that Xiaomi is basing itself on the design of this series. It is not for nothing that this is one of the most important features of the MIX series. However, the new smartphone seems to be building on a flat display with thin bezels instead of rounded edges. And it follows the pattern of the latest aesthetic line Redmi whether POCO smartphones.
It appears that the rear camera module will ditch its traditional rectangular shape and be replaced by a circular rear camera. The main sensor located in the center will be supplemented by a series of secondary sensors. Surprisingly, there should be an aluminum surface finish, instead of a ceramic one. And the main camera should be 108 MPx sensor labeled "Super Zoom".
These are the expected technical specifications
Let's go to the screen. New MIX 5 should offer a 2K panel with a refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The manufacturer should be the brand Visionox, as in the case of the innovative MIX Alpha smartphone. In any case, it would be a large panel with a diagonal of 6,89″, high brightness and 10-bit colors, which would certify this display as an HDR10+ panel.
As for the battery, the capacity was said to be on par up to 6000 mAh. However, the latest leak slightly corrects this information. It talks about capacity 5000 mAh, but also about supporting ultra-fast charging with power up to 150 W. This means that you would reach 100% capacity in about 10 minutes.
There is even more. The latest leak, which comes from the well-known 3C certification, revealed a model codenamed MDY-13-EU. However, we do not know whether it is the Xiaomi MIX 5 model or the Xiaomi MIX 5 Pro. However, the certification guarantees that it will support 200 W charging HyperCharge. This smartphone would thus support a maximum charging power of 20 V / 10 A (200 W).
By the way, the working name of the MIX 5 is “Thor” and its model number is 2203121C. The device should offer a graphics chip Adreno 730, which has proven itself, for example, in connection with the processor Snapdragon 8 Gen1, with a clock rate of up to 3,00 GHz. Performance will definitely not be lacking. The manufacturer also thought of monitoring the CPU temperature, which will be taken care of by up to 20 integrated sensors.
Photo equipment of the MIX 5 model
He will offer MIX 5 camera integrated under the surface of the screen? This question is still not answered. The under-display camera doesn't feature in any of the published leaks yet, but what we do know from The Mobile Hunt's source is the presence of high-end cameras. MIX 5 should thus receive the best from the Xiaomi brand.
On the back side, the circular camera module attracts attention. There should be four sensors as well as an LED flash. The set should not lack an ultra-wide-angle camera, a telephoto lens that captures up to 13 million pixels, a telemacro sensor, as well as 3D ToF lens. The main camera should offer up to 200x digital zoom and 15x optical zoom.
This set of cameras should be able to record video up to resolution 8K (at 30 fps) and compared to its predecessors, it also impresses with various AI improvements. There should also be dynamic object tracking and other functions that have already appeared in the case of devices such as Xiaomi 11 and Xiaomi 12.
Estimated release date
We do not yet know the official date of the Xiaomi press conference. However, given the numerous leaks and presence Xiaomi MIX 5 certifications are expected to be issued in the near future. The performance can therefore be a matter of a few weeks, i.e. in the fall of 2022.
