After his tweet, Dutch media LetsGoDigital have nowreportedthat they have found several patents of foldable devices from Xiaomi in the recent past, from which some devices are expected to release this year.
In the most recent patents, there are designs for three foldable devices with a clamshell design and four foldable devices with an inward folding screen. Each of these comes with a different kind of camera setup at the back.Collage of the renders of Xiaomi’s foldable smartphones | Images: LetsGoDigital
Now, Xiaomi does not have a line of foldable devices to its brand name (the Mi Mix Alphais a concept phone with a wraparound screen). So, it makes total sense for the China-based company to release devices that are trending in the market.
We have seen Xiaomi file apatent for a device with multiple folds earlier this year. Moreover, as per LetsGoDigital, all the other patents from the Chinese company happen to suggest that this will be the year for Xiaomi’s foldable devices.
