The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 could have an in-screen camera and the fastest charging we've seen. Here's what else you should know.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is a phone that weve been hearing about for years, and
for a while it seemed like it was canceled or just never planned in the
first place . But a flurry of recent rumors suggests the phone is on the way and coming soon.

If rumors are to be believed then this flagship handset from Xiaomi could be worth the wait, as theres talk of an under-display camera, high-end power, extremely fast charging, and more.

Below youll find everything weve heard so far about the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, including details on the likely release date and price. Its also worth checking back here regularly if youre interested in the phone, as well be keeping this article updated with every new leak and rumor. Cut to the chase What is it? A high-end phone from Xiaomi When is it out? Possibly between
July and September How much will it cost? Leaks suggest a very high price Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 release date and price

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 might land in the third quarter of 2021, according to one source . So that would mean July, August or September. Thats the only release date weve heard at the time of writing, so while wed take it with a pinch of salt, its our best guess for now.

We cant really get any more specific about the release date though, as the last model the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 landed all the way back in October 2018, so this new phone is overdue.

As for the price, the same sources suggest it will cost even more than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra , which is currently the companys top phone, and retails for 1,199 / AU$1,799 (roughly $1,600), so we hope youve been saving. Design and display

Weve had our first look at the likely design of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 courtesy of @UniverseIce, who posted a render on Twitter showing an all-screen design with a curved display and no visible selfie camera, as this will apparently
be under the display. The bezel at the bottom is slightly thicker than at the sides or top, but still fairly small.

We dont get to see the back of the phone here though, so that aspect of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 remains a mystery. Of course, even the design of the front
wed take with a pinch of salt for now. I am 100% affirmation, Mi Mix4 will
use the UPC ( Under Panel Camera ) technology, and it is very likely to use curved screen design, and other new technologies will be used for this phone. pic.twitter.com/esxZPrw5F3 April 10, 2021 See more

Elsewhere, weve heard that the resolution of the screen might just be FHD+ -
a limitation which is apparently imposed due to the under-display selfie camera. That said, Xiaomi is reportedly working on technology that could make it look sharper and better than a typical 1080p display would.

One much earlier leak meanwhile pointed to a 1080 x 2048 screen, and also included a supposed render of the phone, showing both the front and back. You can see this below, but note that this is from 2019, so if this ever was accurate, its very likely that things have changed since then. (Image credit: Weibo) Camera and battery

The main camera rumor that weve heard is the one that weve already mentioned this phone could have an under-display selfie camera. What specs that camera might have are unknown for now, but multiple sources have pointed to this feature, so it likely really will have such a snapper.

As for the rear camera, in a leak dating all the way back to 2019 we heard that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 might have a triple-lens rear snapper, with a 108MP main sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide one, and a 12MP periscope one. That said,
given the age of the leak we doubt that its accurate.

We have more recent information on the battery though, which depending on who you believe might either be 4,500mAh or 5,000mAh . More exciting than the
size though is the potential charging speed, which a source suggests could be 120W wired or 80W wireless . Both of those are incredibly fast, with 80W
being faster than any wireless charging yet available on a consumer smartphone.

While wed take this with a pinch of salt, Xiaomi has previously demonstrated 80W wireless charging, and has equipped the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with 120W
wired charging, so this seems believable.

Its worth noting that a much older leak from 2019 (the one mentioned above) pointed to just 30W charging, but thats almost certainly wrong, given that most high-end Xiaomi phones now offer speedier charging than that. Specs and features

On the power front, leaks suggest the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 will have a high-end Snapdragon 888 chipset, which would make sense, as most of 2020s Android flagships have used that though the Snapdragon 888 Plus has now been
unveiled , so the 888 isnt quite the best anymore.

It's possible therefore that the Mi Mix 4 could use the 888 Plus, especially as Xiaomi has confirmed that it has at least one phone in the works with this chipset.

Theres no recent news on RAM, but that old 2019 report pointed to 12GB, along with 1TB of storage. While were taking everything in that report with serious skepticism, those specs dont sound out of the question. These are the best Xiaomi phones
