Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 price leaks, and it’s more expensive than you think

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 has been in the rumor mill for a while now. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has now shared fresh details about the upcoming foldable, confirming that several specs from the prototype remain unchanged.

As we covered earlier, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 is expected to come with Xiaomi’s in-house Xring O3 chipset and is targeting a Q3 2026 launch. The new leak from Digital Chat Station adds more detail to what the device could look like at launch.

According to the tipster, the prototype still features a 7.5–7.6-inch folding display with seamless crease technology. The design is described as minimalist and runway-inspired. Xiaomi seems to be going for a cleaner, more refined look with this one.

On cameras, the leak reconfirms a 200MP main shooter. This lines up with earlier database entries that pointed to a 200MP Samsung S5KHP5 main sensor for Xiaomi’s upcoming foldable.

Moreover, the tipster says the foldable will carry a 6000mAh (give or take) battery, with wireless charging also confirmed. The phone is also said to feature full water resistance and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. 

While this leak doesn’t say it, a previous report hints that the foldable will be powered by Xiaomi’s next-generation in-house SoC, currently referred to as Xring O3. It is still unclear what specific improvements the O3 will bring over last year’s Xring O1.

Fortunately, the tipster also reveals the tentative price range of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5, and it’s not good news. The foldable is expected to cost around 10,000 yuan (roughly $1,380), a 1/10th increase in price compared to Mix Fold 4, which launched at 8,999 yuan (around $1,240).

No official launch date has been announced. With the prototype seemingly stable in its design and specs, more details should surface in the coming weeks.
