Xiaomi: Will it finally prepare a new foldable mobile phone with slide side screen?

Published today by LetsGoDigital, the plans of a young man foldable mobile from Xiaomi !

Η  Xiaomi entered the race early in mid-2018 for a mobile with a flexible screen. Early 2019 the company presented a plan with three parts. The two side parts were folded backwards with the middle being the "mobile". His failure Samsung Galaxy Fold to overcome basic screen hardware problems - and with an internal patent - led Xiaomi to turn the "Fold me»In the concept smartphone with a normal curved screen Mi MIX Alpha.

We expected the company to abandon the foldable mobile design. The focus on his shape I MIX Alpha It would not be bad - as long as it solves the problem of battery life of a mobile phone with a 360-degree screen. Today the designs of a new foldable mobile phone from Xiaomi are presented!

The designs we see this time are from LetsGoDigital, and is from a new smartphone design patent of the Chinese company. As the photos show, the phone uses four cameras and a slide-out design to expand the screen area to the side.

Η Xiaomi applied for this design patent to the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on August 28, 2018. However, this patent was officially presented on December 6, 2019. From the sketches we can see that the left side of the phone has a large frame. The other three sides look narrower. Both the front and the back of the phone have a dual camera. Pulling the right frame increases the screen area.

We have seen such a design from Samsung again - but we do not know which company overtook the other in filing the patent. As with all patents, we do not know if we will ever see a cell phone in production. However, it is nice to know that Xiaomi has not given up. Maybe at some point we will see a foldable mobile phone from the company. We will let you know if we find out anything new.
