Earlier this year, the Xiaomi MIX 5 was spotted in the IMEI database and it had been officially confirmed that the device will not be unveiled in 2024. Of course, leaks about this smartphone keep coming. Digital Chat Station reports that the Xiaomi MIX 5 will come with an under-display camera and unibody ceramic design. We already know that the device will come with an under-display camera.
Xiaomi MIX 5 is coming
A prototype expected to be the Xiaomi MIX 5 was spotted on Geekbench 6. This prototype smartphone was codenamed “Suiren” and powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. A flagship MIX series device to be introduced in 2025 is not expected to be unveiled with the previous year’s flagship SOC. They probably tested the first prototype devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. I expect the Xiaomi MIX 5 to use Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This, of course, has not been officially confirmed and has not been spotted in any lines of code.
There is no certainty whether the Xiaomi MIX 5 will be unveiled or not. If Xiaomi has a problem with the device, it may abandon the launch. The smartphone is currently in the prototype stage and we are speculating that it might be launched in 2025. When we examine the codename “Suiren”, we see Chinese mythology. Suiren is known as a cultural hero who introduced fire in order for people to survive. The previous Xiaomi MIX 4 had the codename “odin”.
Digital Chat Station stated that the device may come with a ceramic build, like the previous MIX series. This is an already existing tradition of the Xiaomi MIX series. This tradition is expected to continue with the Xiaomi MIX 5. We hope Xiaomi will launch the MIX 5 and we will have the chance to experience the device.
