If we can say that 2018 was the year of the notch, the 2019, manufacturers, including Xiaomi, are in constant search of alternatives based on the slogan "full screen smartphone».

Μone of the most popular solutions is the folding front camera or pop-up, if you prefer, an idea that has already become a reality in Vivo NEX S and more recently in the OPPO Reno and we will probably see it again in the OnePlus 7 Pro.

But back to Xiaomi, which is already considering the solution, as revealed in mid-February by the Chinese giant's vice president, who said the company was considering making a smartphone with a foldable front camera.

On top of that come two new photos that leaked on Weibo, which we quote.

In addition, the children at XDA refer to two names they found in the code: "Raphael" and "Davinci". These are probably smartphones (?) That Xiaomi is testing with a pop-up camera mechanism. Not many details are revealed, but there are various indications that these mechanical systems will be installed in high-tech smartphones. These phones come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC, and among the few elements that emerged, there is also talk of the presence of a fingerprint recognition sensor, which will be integrated into the screen.

Finally, Xiaomi started developing separate versions of MIUI software for the Indian market, codenamed "raphaelin" and "davinciin". Thus, it is considered that both devices will be released in the Indian market.
