I really want a foldable smartphone, for no particularly good reason other than they look extremely cool, but their $1,000+ price tag means I’m keeping my credit card locked away. Now, a rumored Xiaomi foldable smartphone could be the next big gadget to tempt me.
The foldable KING? Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 HANDS-ON!
The Chinese manufacturer is reportedly working on the world's first dual fold smartphone due out next year, joining the ranks of bendable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Xiaomi President Lin Bin said that to create the dual-fold mobile smartphone, they had to overcome technical challenges, including flexible matrix technology, a new hinge mechanism and a flexible matrix coating. A Xiaomi patent describes an inward-folding foldable smartphone with a sliding cover screen.
Few details are available about Xiaomi's alleged foldable phone. XDA Developers reports that the Cetus will likely run Android 11 and have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a 108MP primary camera. A Chinese site has reported that the phone will have an under-display camera, 200W+ fast charging, and a 2K resolution internal display.
