In the first half of this year, Xiaomi released the first mass-produced folding screen mobile phone MIX FOLD, with an initial price of CNY 9999.
Compared with competing Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, its price is very competitive.
Judging from the information exposed, Xiaomi is not satisfied with the MIX FOLD folding screen solution.
The mobile phone giant is exploring new forms of folding screens.
On July 3 news, someone exposed Xiaomi’s new patent for folding screen mobile phones.
The new Xiaomi folding screen adopts the up and down folding scheme similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
The shape looks like a classic flip phone, the screen shape is a double-hole design, and the rear is equipped with three cameras.
At present, several brands have adopted the up-and-down folding scheme. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series, Motorola’s Razr series is also designed with this similar scheme.
Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold series folding solution, Xiaomi’s new folding solution makes the phone smaller and easier to carry.
It is worth noting that this solution is still at the patent stage, and it is not yet certain whether Xiaomi will mass produce it for commercial use.
