It seems that manufacturer fascination with foldable smartphones has not waned, as Xiaomi is said to be developing a tri-fold phone. The shift in approach could potentially redefine the demand for foldable technology even more vehemently after Huawei redefined it with the Mate X2.
New findings show Xiaomi’s application at the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) dated September 3rd. A tri-fold concept is presented for the device that immediately provides adjustable screen size while increasing mobility at the same time without sacrificing screen space. Importantly, the device has a new horizontal camera bar with three sensors that might mean better photographic performance.
Really and fake rumors have been churning on Weibo, and the authenticity of these claims raises concern as to whether tri-fold phones are set to hit the consumer market soon or remain a concept. Previously, Xiaomi has always found itself within the innovation frontier, especially within its MIX series, implying great innovation in the production of Xiaomi’s smartphones.
In the broader market context, Xiaomi’s potential launch comes at a time when there is still a lot of uncertainty over a company like Huawei, indicating that there could well be new opportunities for Xiaomi to grow outside of China further. These consequences could be great, helping Xiaomi become one of the main leaders of the rather ambitious foldable smart phone market.
More to the point, the company is preparing for the global release of the Xiaomi 14T Series on September 26th, where it will again show its commitment to innovation. With the future of foldable smartphones still uncertain, everyone will be looking forward to Xiaomi bringing out a product that would capture the market’s need and want.
