Xiaomi is also working on a foldable smartphone ⊂ · ⊃ CURVED.de

Xiaomi seems to be developing a foldable smartphone – as Samsung and Huawei do. However, the Xiaomi model might have one thing ahead of its competitors – unless the manufacturer departs from its previous approach.

Xiaomi and Oppo develop a foldable smartphone, as Android Authority reports, citing ET Times. The foundation of this claim is that both companies work with vendors that likely produce smart phone parts and foldable displays.

Folding instead of folding

According to the source, Xiaomi is working on a design that runs the smartphone. Thus, it may be possible to extend the device to the size of the tablet. Thus, the manufacturer could take a different path than the competition: users foldable models of Samsung could retreat to the interior – suggesting rather a kind of smartphone evolved and foldable. The patent drawings already indicate that the South Korean manufacturer is more likely to work on a Galaxy Note that folds approximately in the middle.

A foldable smartphone from Xiaomi could have a small advantage over the competition: the Chinese manufacturer offers its devices generally at very reasonable prices. Thus, the folding model could cost less than that of Samsung, Huawei, Oppo and Co. When the special smartphone Xiaomi could be on sale, does not spring from the source. Currently, it is said that Huawei will likely bring the first collapsible device to the market – at least that is the business plan. At the beginning of 2019, it will be the Samsung Galaxy X or Galaxy F series.
