These would be the features of the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 5
If the Xiaomi MIX Fold 5 finally sees the light, it will come very well armed. The most reliable leaks point to a significant improvement in cameras and performance.
Processor and performance
Inside, the MIX FOLD 5 will feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is Qualcomm's flagship chip in 2025. It'll also come with 16GB of RAM, so you'll enjoy top-notch performance. All running HyperOS 2.2, or even HyperOS 3 if it finally comes out in 2026, Xiaomi's custom layer, which is increasingly polished and makes better use of the hardware.
High-level cameras
One of the clearest improvements will be in the photography section. Xiaomi wants this new foldable to be an engineering marvel in terms of design and a beast with cameras.. This is what we know according to several leaks. On the one hand, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 5 It will have a 50-megapixel main camera with an Omnivision Light Hunter OVX8000 sensor, which promises excellent performance in all lighting conditions. Accompanying this main sensor will be a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a Samsung S5KJN1 sensor.
Furthermore, The device will integrate not one, but two telephoto lenses. The first will be a 50MP periscope with 5x optical zoom, using the Samsung S5KJN5 sensor for long-range photography without loss of quality. The second will also use a Samsung S5KJN5 sensor, but this time with 4x optical zoom, so you can capture closer details.And for selfies or video calls, Xiaomi is not short: the MIX FOLD 5 will include two 32-megapixel front cameras., both with an Omnivision OV32B40 sensor. One will be located on the outer screen and the other on the inner folding panel.
Compared to the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4, which had 13 MP cameras in the ultra-wide angle and 10 MP in the periscope, this new Xiaomi MIX Fold 5 clearly aims to play in another league, especially in low-light and zoom situations. But for now, it's all just rumors. Although, judging by the camera setup of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, this Xiaomi MIX Fold 5 will offer a similar package.
Battery and fast charging
As for the battery, the MIX FOLD 5 is expected to inherit the 90W fast charging from the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and pack a 5.000mAh battery, which is a pretty good figure for a book-style foldable.
When will the Xiaomi MIX FOLD 5 be presented?
Although the model certification indicates a possible presentation in May 2025, if we look at Xiaomi's track record with its previous foldables, we will most likely have to wait until August 2025. That is, during the third quarter of the year.
And that's if we're lucky and they present it in 2025. For now, the project is up in the air, and even though its certification has been leaked, it doesn't mean they'll bring it to market; it could be a prototype.
Will MIX FOLD 5 be released in Spain?
Here comes the big question: will you be able to buy it in Spain? Well, realistically speaking., most likely not. Xiaomi has never officially launched its MIX FOLD models on the global market. They've always remained in China, just as they did with the MIX FOLD 3 and 4.
Of course, the MIX Flip did reach the global market and is officially sold in some European countries, including Spain. So if Xiaomi decides to repeat that move with its new clamshell foldable, the MIX Flip 2, yes. But The Xiaomi MIX Fold 5 could be manufactured, for another year, in a limited capacity. So let's not get our hopes up just yet. Because, given the fact that so little information has leaked just a few months after its supposed unveiling, it's not clear it'll arrive in 2025.
