The new Mi Mix phone is expected to have a list of updates over the existing Mi Mix 3 and Mi Mix 3 5G and may carry an under-display camera. Along with Mi Mix 4, Xiaomi is launching a few other devices at its large-scale event on August 10. These could include some of your new smartphones and tablets. The event takes place, in particular, one day before Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked, where it is set to present its new Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip folding phones.
