Multiple reports say Xiaomi’s next foldable, the Mix Fold 5, has cleared regulatory checks in China, with a listing reportedly appearing at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The certifications are being interpreted as an indicator that the device is nearing launch. One key claim across the reports is that the Mix Fold 5 could ship with HyperOS 4 installed out of the box, making it potentially the first Xiaomi phone to launch with that software version.
The timing of the launch is also being discussed. Several outlets suggest the Mix Fold 5 may arrive before the Xiaomi 18 series, which is widely expected to debut around September. The foldable is also reported to support 5G connectivity.
Additional specifications mentioned in the coverage include the use of Xiaomi’s in-house Xring O3 chip. However, most details remain based on leaks and certification interpretations rather than official confirmation from Xiaomi.
