Xiaomi may launch compact iPhone Ultra rival with triple Leica cameras and 200MP main sensor
A compact and wide design seems to be the new norm in the foldables space. After Huawei took the lead with the Pura X Max, Samsung is expected to follow suit in July by launching a thin foldable with a wide and compact form factor – reportedly called Galaxy Z Fold8 – in a bid to steal the spotlight from the Apple iPhone Ultra (aka iPhone Fold), rumored for a September debut.
According to a leaker, Xiaomi is set to become the fourth company to join the fray for the best foldable in this emerging form factor. In two X posts, Kartikey Singh emphasized that the much-rumored Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 may not only end up being called the Xiaomi 18 Fold, but also mark a major departure from its predecessors, such as the Mix Fold 4, in terms of design.
Wide and compact becoming the new standard for foldables
Aside from the new form factor, the leaker also revealed several spec-related details about a prototype, which won’t necessarily make it into the final product. For now, the upcoming Xiaomi foldable is reportedly being tested with a triple-camera setup, similar to the Huawei Pura X Max. As with the Xiaomi 17 Max, its main camera is said to feature a 200MP sensor. However, it remains unclear whether this Xiaomi foldable will see a global launch, especially given that the compact Xiaomi Mix Flip phones have apparently been discontinued.
