Xiaomi Mix Fold 5’s launch timeline hinted at by new certification | Infinium-tech
Xiaomi’s upcoming Mix Fold 5 has just been certified for sale in China with model number 2608BPX34C. This is interesting because the Mix Fold 5 has reached this stage before any member of the Xiaomi 18 family.
This could mean that the Mix Fold 5 will not launch alongside those devices in September, but will probably be introduced earlier. There’s usually something happening in mid-August and this seems like a pretty good bet.

Unlike the Xiaomi 18 family, the Mix Fold 5 won’t have to wait for Qualcomm to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, as it won’t be using it. Previous rumors told us that the Mix Fold 5 will come with Xiaomi’s own Xring O3 SoC, which is a much-improved successor to last year’s O1.
Talking about the specs, the foldable smartphone is expected to have a 7.5″ to 7.6″ internal screen with seamless crease, a 200MP camera, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 6,000 mAh battery that will support wireless charging. The Mix Fold 5 could be the first device to launch with the next-generation HyperOS based on Android 17. The only downside seems to be the rumored price, which is CNY 10,000 or $1,479 at the current exchange rate.
