From the perspective of product form, MIX Fold 5 has abandoned the book style slim to long ratio used by Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series and its predecessor MIX Fold 4, and instead adopts a wide folding route.

It is reported that this new phone is highly compatible with the rumored product concept of iPhone Ultra, and may adopt the same type of hinge mechanism solution. The 4:3 ratio of wide folding is becoming a new direction in the high-end folding screen market, as it is closer to the visual experience of iPad in landscape viewing and split screen multitasking.The core processor is the most noteworthy feature of MIX Fold 5. The device will debut Xiaomi's self-developed Xuan Jie O3 chip, which adopts TSMC's 3nm process technology.

Unlike the 10 core four cluster architecture of the previous generation Xuan Jie O1, Xuan Jie O3 adopts a "super large core titanium core small core" three cluster design. The super large core frequency has exceeded 4.05GHz, the energy efficiency core frequency has also been increased to 3.02GHz, the GPU frequency has jumped to nearly 1.5GHz, and the rendering capability has been improved by about 25%. This architecture adjustment aims to enable processors to more directly call top-level computing power when facing high-intensity tasks, reducing scheduling latency.

In terms of battery life, the new phone is equipped with a large capacity battery of about 6000mAh and compatible with the magnetic accessory ecosystem. The device is expected to be released in August or September this year, which highly overlaps with the release window of Apple's iPhone Ultra. In terms of selling price, due to the continuous increase in upstream core component costs, the final pricing of MIX Fold 5 is likely to fall within the range of 10000 yuan.
