We have some juicy leaks! Everything points to the return of one of Xiaomi’s most groundbreaking phone lines: the MIX 5 could be in the final stages of development, which means its spectacular display with a hidden front camera could be back.
Xiaomi’s MIX series, which has always stood out for its groundbreaking designs, could be about to see its new mobile arrive after a wait that will have seemed eternal to many fans, and we have not had a new MIX since the launch of the Xiaomi MIX 4 in 2021. These mobiles have always been top-of-the-range devices that have been characterized by always offered the highest screen surface ratio, devising all kinds of solutions that have been groundbreaking in all cases.
The Xiaomi MIX 5 would be very close to seeing the light
Digital Chat Station, one of the most reliable and well-known Xiaomi leakers on Weibo, the Asian social network, recently posted a post stating that the next generation is in the final stages of development and will once again include an under-display front camera, a type of technology that allows the front camera sensor to be completely hidden from view. This, combined with especially thin bezels, would result in one of the phones with the highest screen-to-body ratio currently available, as the MIX 4 did in its day.
Digital Chat Station is a highly reliable source of information regarding Xiaomi, having already revealed key information numerous times on Weibo. In this case, as we can see in the automatically translated screenshot (unfortunately, the author doesn’t speak Mandarin), the informant himself assigns this information a reliability rating of 98.3721%, a striking percentage given its extremely specific nature, but which seems to indicate a very high degree of veracity.
Xiaomi’s MIX series
Xiaomi launched its first MIX in 2016, introducing a device that was a huge hit thanks to its virtually bezel-less design, at a time when this was far from the general trend. With a screen that covered almost the entire surface of the phone except for a small bezel for the selfie camera at the bottom, the Mi MIX revolutionized the market thanks to its aesthetic appeal.
In the next release, the Mi MIX 2 continued with the same design trend and in the Mi MIX 3 a sliding mechanism front camera was introduced that appeared in view only when it was going to be used, hiding the rest of the time and thus offering a screen that occupies practically the entire visible front.
The MIX 4 went a step further and was the first Xiaomi phone to incorporate a front camera hidden under the screen, completely invisible, allowing it to function without the typical circular cutout of the sensor that we have seen in the vast majority of devices for many years.
