Emir BardakçıXiaomi has quietly secured certification from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT) for a new MIX series smartphone, model 2505DPXD7C. This move has stirred considerable interest among industry observers, given Xiaomi’s ongoing expansion into the premium foldable smartphone segment.
Key Technical Details
The certification documents confirm support for a comprehensive range of connectivity standards—GSM, WCDMA, TD-LTE, LTE FDD, and 5G. The device is also equipped with advanced WLAN capabilities, including WAPI (a requirement for the Chinese market), plus Bluetooth support. This level of network compatibility signals that Xiaomi is positioning the device for both domestic and international markets.
Uncertain Identity, Strong Potential
The model number 2505DPXD7C aligns with Xiaomi’s convention, with “25” likely indicating a 2025 release. However, the remainder of the model designation does not correspond to any known device or previously leaked information, leaving room for speculation. It’s unclear whether this is a next-generation MIX Fold, a new variant, or an entirely fresh addition to the MIX lineup.
Strategic Timing
This certification follows closely on the heels of the MIX Flip 2 (model 2505APX7BC) receiving 3C certification. Notably, while Xiaomi recently launched the MIX Flip 2, there was no mention of a MIX Fold 5 during the event. The timing of this new certification suggests that Xiaomi may be preparing additional MIX series announcements in the near future.
Market Positioning
By pursuing broad network compatibility and implementing advanced wireless standards, Xiaomi is clearly targeting the premium foldable market, directly challenging established competitors such as Samsung. This strategy underlines Xiaomi’s commitment to innovation and its intent to solidify a strong presence in both domestic and global markets.
