Reports now suggest the company is preparing to launch the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/product\/xiaomi-mix-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MIX 5<\/a> as the next chapter in its experimental smartphone lineup. Multiple leaks indicate the device is expected to debut ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/category\/apple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Apple<\/a>\u2019s iPhone 18 series.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Xiaomi-Mix-4-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Xiaomi Mix 4\" class=\"wp-image-721523\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The MIX series has been dormant since the release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/product\/xiaomi-mi-mix-4-5g\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MIX 4<\/a> in August 2021. That model introduced Xiaomi\u2019s first under-display camera and a full ceramic unibody. The MIX 4 featured a Snapdragon 888+ chipset, a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, and a 20MP camera hidden under the display. However, the front-facing camera performance remained a weak point due to technical limitations at the time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/category\/xiaomi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Xiaomi<\/a> now appears to be addressing that gap with the MIX 5. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station, an unnamed manufacturer is working on a new smartphone project that features a quad-curved display and an under-display front camera. Although the tipster did not name the brand, discussions in the community strongly suggest the device refers to the MIX 5.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-190-1024x149.png\" alt=\"Xiaomi Mix 5 Rumor\" class=\"wp-image-721524\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the display and camera upgrades, tipster Smart Pikachu recently hinted that the Explorer Edition (potential MIX 5) will incorporate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/2025\/05\/06\/xiaomi-mix-5-with-all-screen-design-might-still-be-in-the-works-claims-rumor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">under-display 3D facial recognition<\/a>. If true, Xiaomi could become the first smartphone maker to commercialize this technology on a mass-market device.<\/p>\n<p>Under-display 3D face unlock has long been considered one of the final hurdles in delivering a truly seamless front panel, and the MIX 5 may be the first to implement it successfully.<\/p>\n<p>According to rumors, the phone is expected to make its debut at Lei Jun\u2019s annual speech, a stage traditionally reserved for Xiaomi\u2019s most important products. The MIX 5 could signal a bold return for the series that once redefined smartphone design.<\/p>\n<p>For more daily updates, please visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">News Section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tech enthusiast?
