With an expected August 2026 release, its early certification ahead of Xiaomi 18 series suggests a potential sooner-than-expected launch. ## In-house chip and OS Rather than Qualcomm's chipset, the device will feature Xiaomi's proprietary Xring O3 SoC. It will run HyperOS 4 based on Android 17, continuing Xiaomi's tradition of pairing major OS updates with new Android versions. ## Live images leaked Purported live shots of the Mix Fold 5 show the device codenamed 'lhasa' running HyperOS 4. The interface displays design elements from Android 17's glass-infused visual language. ## Display technology The phone is rumored to feature a 7.5-7.6-inch flexible display with 'seamless-crease' technology, addressing one of foldables' biggest pain points by minimizing visible fold lines. ## Hardware specs Expected features include a 200MP main camera, full waterproofing, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and 6,000 mAh battery with wireless charging. Pricing is rumored around 10,000 CNY (~$1,400) in China. ## Market impact With its in-house chip and new OS, the Mix Fold 5 positions itself as a serious contender in the foldable market. In China's premium segment, it could become formidable competition to Samsung's foldables. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mix_fold_5_spotted_in_the_wild_running_hyperos_4-news-73787.php — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
