From regular phones to smartphones, one of the important signs of the evolution of mobile phones is the renewal of the screen. Mobile phone manufacturers are chasing larger, high-definition screens. However, large screens affect the portability of mobile phones. However, the folding shape solves this problem. There are two types of foldable smartphones at the moment. We have book-style foldable smartphones such as Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold as well as foldable clamshell smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Z flip3. While the first folds from side to side, the second folds up and down.
At the moment, most of the foldable smartphones of Chinese brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi have book designs. The clamshell is comparatively smaller on the market. According to popular Chinese tech blogger Weibo @DCS Xiaomi is testing a clamshell phone with a foldable screen. The design of this smartphone is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z flip3. The Motorola Razr Blade 5G also uses a similar design. This foldable screen is smaller and easier to carry when folded.
It's worth noting that current foldable smartphones are very expensive and most configurations are high-end flagship tiers. Thus, the new Xiaomi foldable smartphone will have a flagship configuration. This device will use a high refresh rate OLED screen. We also expect this to be a flagship processor from Qualcomm or MediaTek. However, in general terms, there is not much information about this device. In fact, this is the first message about the existence of such a smartphone. Therefore, we cannot be sure when this device will eventually arrive.
To get an idea of what Xiaomi can use on its foldable smartphone, here are the specifications of the company's only foldable smartphone.
