Leaked Mi Mix 4 video shows super flexible screen, under-display camera
TL; DR
- A new video showed what the Mi Mix 4’s screen and selfie camera could be.
- The screen seems very flexible in the clip, but we don’t expect that to be the case in the final product.
Xiaomi is hosting an event on August 10th and it has been confirmed that the Mi Mix 4 will be unveiled on that day. We are excited to see what the company has up its sleeve, because the Mix series often brings a radical design to the table.
Now the Leaker Digital Chat Station has shared a video on Weibo that allegedly shows the Mi Mix 4 screen. We have two realizations here, namely the flexibility of the screen and the presence of a selfie camera under the display. Check out the video below.
The leaker adds in a follow-up comment that this is an “unpacked screen” that has not yet been attached to a phone. So we suspect that the display will not be as flexible in the end product. Finally, issues like durability and rigid internal components like batteries could make matters worse. But we wonder what the Mi Mix 4 could look like.
The original Mi Mix delivered a high screen-to-body ratio months before the industry took up this trend. Meanwhile, the Mi Mix 2 has increased the screen-to-body ratio even further and delivered a ceramic body. Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3 delivered a slider design, while the discarded Mi Mix Alpha had a display that wrapped around the back of the device.
Xiaomi’s latest Mi Mix would be the company’s first device with a selfie camera under the display, but it wouldn’t be the first big phone with this technology (honor goes to the ZTE Axon 20). So we hope the company has more tricks up its sleeve. We don’t have long before the August 10 unveiling, so everything will be revealed in a few days.
