Xiaomi could launch its first foldable smartphone on March 29
Xiaomi is expected to launch a new Mi MIX smartphone on March 29, alongside the Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Lite models. The handset will reportedly be called Mi MIX 4 Pro and it will arrive as the company's first-ever foldable device. It is expected to come with flagship-grade hardware, a main foldable AMOLED screen, and multiple rear cameras.
The phone will have a Samsung Fold 2-like design

It will offer up to 512GB of internal storage
The Mi MIX 4 Pro is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 888 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. It may run on Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 and pack a 4,500mAh or bigger battery with support for fast-charging. For connectivity, the device should offer support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, 5G, and a Type-C port.
