Xiaomi MIX 5 Rumored to Feature Under-Display 3D Face Unlock and Quad-Curved Display

Xiaomi's MIX series is set to return with the MIX 5, potentially one of the most innovative smartphones the brand has produced. Known for experimenting with bold concepts, the MIX lineup has previously introduced features like under-display cameras. Now, leaks indicate that the MIX 5 will push boundaries even further with under-display 3D facial recognition technology, possibly making Xiaomi the first company to bring this feature to a widely available phone.

Display and Design

According to industry insider Digital Chat Station, the MIX 5 will sport a quad-curved display, a design choice that has become less common as manufacturers favor flat or mildly curved screens for improved durability and handling. The device is also expected to include an upgraded under-display camera. Xiaomi's earlier attempt with the MIX 4 faced image quality compromises due to display pixels overlapping the sensor. The MIX 5 aims to overcome these issues with enhanced sensor technology and refined pixel arrangements.

Under-Display 3D Face Unlock

The most talked-about feature is the rumored under-display 3D face unlock system. Tipster Smart Pikachu suggests that the MIX 5 could become the first mainstream smartphone to implement this technology. Current under-display cameras offer only 2D capabilities, suitable for basic selfies and video calls. By adding 3D depth sensing beneath the display, Xiaomi could deliver secure facial unlocking comparable to Apple's Face ID, but without requiring notches or punch-holes.

Availability and Timeline

As of now, Xiaomi has not released official details regarding the pricing or release date for the MIX 5. However, the device is expected to debut before the launch of Apple's iPhone 18 series, potentially aligning with Lei Jun's annual keynote in mid-2025.
