Xiaomi MIX Fold 4: Early signs point to global release for MIX Fold 3 successor

GSMChina has discovered evidence that Xiaomi could be planning to release the next MIX Fold globally, unlike previous models. For context, Xiaomi has not offered a MIX-branded device outside home market since the Mi Mix 2S in 2018. Since then, the company has pivoted the series to foldables, most recently with the MIX Fold 3.

As the images below show, Xiaomi has begun developing 2405CPX3DC and 2405CPX3DG, which it asserts relate to an unreleased MIX Fold device. While the website has not found anything relating to these devices on Xiaomi's servers, someone has submitted them to an IMEI database. As always, IMEI database results do not return too much information, although some can be deciphered from the model numbers alone.

On the one hand, 2405CPX3DC and 2405CPX3DG should be the same device, save for their China and Global designations, signified by 'C' and 'G' suffixes, respectively. On the other hand, the first four digits in Xiaomi's model numbers often refer to a device's earliest launch date. In this case, it would appear that 2405CPX3DC and 2405CPX3DG are set for release in May 2024, which would be three months before its predecessor's first anniversary. This would be in line with Xiaomi's inclination to release devices earlier and earlier in a calendar year though, including the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.
