A post made by the Xiaomi Company on Weibo has increased the likelihood of the Mi Mix 4 being released this year. Although no specs or images of the successor to the innovative Mi Mix line are presented, it does seem likely that the company CEO himself is almost ready to announce the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 may be one of the most-anticipated phones ever from the Chinese OEM. Ever since the Mi Mix 3 was released in late 2018, fans have thirsted for a successor. Sadly, apart from the 5G variant of the Mi Mix 3 appearing in early 2019 and then the commercially doomed Mi Mix Alpha turning up, there has been no Mi Mix 4 yet, despite numerous alleged sightings and rumors.

But that seems likely to change very soon, with the Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun preparing to answer the question “Is there a Mix this year?”. A teaser image posted on Weibo poses that simple question as well as showing the shadowy outline of a smartphone. There are no obvious clues in regard to possible Mi Mix 4 innovation in the picture though: no pop-up camera on show, no visible folding mechanism, no teasing of a quad-curved waterfall display, and no hint of an under-screen selfie camera.

However, rumors in regard to the possible 2021 release of a Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 have started appearing more frequently, so it could be wise for the firm’s boss to take advantage of the remaining hype before a spy-shot leak or specs leak steals the momentum. There is no logical reason for Xiaomi to tease a Mi Mix successor if there is nothing in the pipeline, so there should be something exciting on the cards.

Lei Jun will be answering the Mi Mix question and more at a Xiaomi event in China that starts at 19:00 CST tomorrow evening (February 7 at 06:00 EST, 11:00 GMT, 12:00 CET, 16:30 IST).
