- Xiaomi has announced that the Mi Mix line will return as part of their event on March 29th.
- Rumors and pictures suggest that this Mi Mix device is a foldable phone.
Xiaomi’s Mi Mix line is one of the more innovative smartphone lines, but we haven’t seen a new device since the Mi Mix Alpha in late 2019. We haven’t seen a commercially available entry since the Mi Mix 3 and the beginning of 2018 2019 Mi Mix 3 5G variant.
Xiaomi has now confirmed on Weibo that a Mi Mix will take place at its event on March 29th. Check out the machine translated post and image below.
It’s unclear if this will be a full product launch or a limited look at the new Mi Mix device. We suspect it is the latter based on the company saying it will have a “chat” about the new product. So what can we expect?
Rumors over the past few months suggest that Xiaomi’s first foldable phone will sport the Mi Mix logo. Numerous images suggest a collapsible design. The image of the person in the Weibo post above seems more in line with this foldable screen than with a smartphone display.
Xiaomi is going to have an uphill battle with its first foldable phone as Samsung shipped several polished foldable phones over the last year. The Chinese brand is usually better than others when it comes to pricing. So we are definitely curious to see how much the first foldable device will cost.
Otherwise, Xiaomi has also confirmed that the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra will be presented at this event. So if you are looking for traditional high-end phones, you should still keep an eye on this event.
