Xiaomi has started teasing its next-generation Xring O3 chipset, along with a new burgundy-colored foldable phone that appears to be the rumored Xiaomi MIX Ultra.
An official image shows Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun holding the device, which stands out because none of Xiaomi's current foldables come in that shade.
The phone's official name is still unconfirmed, with reports using names like Xiaomi Mix Fold 5, Xiaomi 17 Fold, and Xiaomi 18 Fold, but newer leaks point to Xiaomi MIX Ultra.
Expected specs and Xring O3 details
The Xiaomi MIX Ultra is expected to feature a 7.5-inch or 7.6-inch inner foldable display, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a 200-megapixel main camera.
It may pack a battery around 6,000mAh with wireless charging, and run on HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.
The Xring O3, codenamed 'Lhasa', is rumored to adopt a three-cluster CPU architecture, possibly 1+3+4 or 1+2+5, instead of the previous four-cluster 10-core design.
The prime core could reach up to 4.05GHz, with performance cores at 3.42GHz and efficiency cores at 3.02GHz, a significant jump from the O1's 1.79GHz.
The GPU clock speed may also increase to around 1.5GHz, while memory speed stays at 9,600 MT/s.
The Xring O3 might also power a new Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro tablet, which could launch alongside the MIX Ultra.
The tablet is expected to have a 12.5-inch screen, a 12,000mAh battery, up to 16GB of RAM, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a dual rear camera setup.
