The mysterious Xiaomi Mix 5 is now again a hot topic of conversation after reports about it died down last year. The MIX 5 was supposed to launch in 2022, but for reasons that are still a mystery, that plan was scrapped. But a new source boosted the prospect of a 2023 release, raising hopes for the much awaited gadget.
Popular tipster DCS published a live image on Weibo that was purported to be the Xiaomi MIX 5 in a recent leak. The gadget has a boxy form with symmetrical bezels and an under-display camera, which appears to depart from the typical design language associated with Xiaomi. Intriguingly, the recently unveiled Red Magic 8 Pro gaming smartphone and the MIX 5 look remarkably similar. Given that the antenna lines are in precisely the same locations, it is quite likely that this is a Red Magic 8 Pro upon closer investigation. But on the off chance that this is the real deal, the gadget might have the following specifications.
Specs
The Xiaomi MIX 5 is expected to have outstanding features, according to a live image that tipster DCS posted on Weibo. According to reports, the smartphone has a huge 6.73-inch display with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels, most likely an AMOLED panel. The MIX 5 is expected to include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood, along with a huge 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone is anticipated to include a substantial 4820mAh battery to run all day. The picture also reveals that MIUI 14, which is based on Android 13, will operate on the MIX 5.
Overall, these specifications indicate that the MIX 5 will be a powerful and capable device that could be worth waiting for.
Harware
In the past, it was rumored that the Xiaomi MIX 5 would come with an impressive 200W fast charging capability. It is unclear if this feature will be included in the upgraded version of the device. Furthermore, earlier reports suggested that the MIX 5 would be equipped with a 48MP front-facing camera and a triple-camera setup on the back. This setup was said to consist of a 50MP OIS lens, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. However, there is no official confirmation regarding these camera specifications as of yet. It remains to be seen if the final product will match these rumors or if there will be changes made to the device.
