I would guess there probably won't be a mi mix '4'. That is not to say there won't be a next generation mi mix... just that it won't be called '4' as the Chinese don't like the number 4 as it sounds similar to 'death' in Chinese. My guess they will just call it he Mi Mix 5G.

Xiaomi hasn't skipped the #4 in any of their series so far.

Xiaomi's UK sales strategy is somewhere between confused and laughable, god knows who's in charge but their website is a joke! Everything seems to be done ad-hoc and last minute. Gives the impression that senior management haven't got a clue how to market to the uk - just look at the mi 9 iterations for an example on brand confusion, SE anyone? Oh no wait, thats not Special Edition, it's Small (or s***) Edition with a lower spec SoC. The 9 (sans suffix) would appear to be the flagship but lets muddy the waters and introduce a 9t and then a 9t pro with little discernable difference between them for full on confusion!

Haha, it's not so bad. There's also an Mi 9 Pro, Mi 9 Lite, MI 9 Youth....

Mi 9 - Flagship
MI 9 SE - Smaller, less powerful, cheaper version of the flagship
MI 9T Pro - Rebranded Redmi flagship
MI 9T - Cheaper, slightly less powerful version of the Mi 9T Pro
