Xiaomi MIX 5 specifications (rumoured)
The screen size details haven’t been revealed, but rumour mill lists a few key aspects of the purported MIX 5 device. The phone is tipped to get a triple rear camera setup comprising of a 50-megapixel sensor with OIS, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 48-megapixel telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom. For selfies, the phone might get a 48-megapixel sensor upfront. Reports heavily speculate the brand to unveil the new Surge C2 chipset with the MIX 5 series.
To recall, Xiaomi MIX 4 launched globally last year with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, a 108-megapixel triple rear camera setup, up to 12GB RAM, and 512GB internal storage. The MIX 4 was the first commercial device from the brand to have an under-display camera. The phone came with a ceramic finish, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 4,500mAh battery with 120W superfast charging support. The MIX 4 didn’t debut in any market other than China, and we are skeptical if the company would bring its successor to the global markets including India.
