Breaking the streak of speculations around the Xiaomi 12 series phones is the recent listing of new Xiaomi Mix devices. Two new Mix models have been spotted on Chinese certification websites and are now being touted as the successors of Xiaomi's Mix series of phones. Since these are the fifth iterations, the phones assumably belong to the Mix 5 series।
These findings were shared online earlier, wherein the Xiaomi phones were spotted under the code names Loki and Thor. At the time, it was speculated that the phones belonged to the Xiaomi 12 series. The flagship series by the company is expected to debut sometime next month. However, new information on the internet suggests that the Loki and Thor code names referred to two other Xiaomi phones.
As spotted by xiaomiui, the smartphones have been listed on a Chinese certification website with model numbers L1 and L1A. Of the two, the L1 model corresponds to the device codenamed Thor, and will likely be the flagship offering in the series. It is believed that the phone will be launched under the name Mix 5 Pro.
As for the second, L1A refers to the phone codenamed Loki and will come as the standard Mix 5. The publication cites the listing to mention the possible launch timeline for the phones to be the month of March next year.
The report is quite contradicting to the popular opinion of the Loki and Thor phones being of the Xiaomi 12 family. Though it seems to be more credible than earlier speculations, it should be noted that nothing has officially been confirmed by the company as of now and hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.
The devices in question have been listed for certification in China, meaning they could very well be on a path to the launch plans of their predecessors. Mi Mix Fold and Mi Mix 4 have to date been restricted to sales in China and may never see a global launch. If Xiaomi goes the same way for the upcoming Mix series, it is likely that both the "Thor" and "Loki" phones that everyone was excited about may not make it to their country's market.
