Xiaomi folding smartphone is similar to Huawei Mate Xs
It is worth starting with the fact that we are talking about a smartphone with a bendable screen that resembles the Huawei Mate Xs and Royole Flexpai 2. When folded, the screen is fixed on a latch.
On the right side are the on / off and volume buttons of the smartphone. Xiaomi’s patented foldable phone has a microphone both on top and bottom. In addition, there is a speaker and a USB-C connector at the bottom of the mobile device.
Ross Young, founder of research companies Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch, said Xiaomi would definitely present its first foldable smartphone in the very near future. However, it is still unknown whether it will look like a prototype shown in these sketches or some other device.
Speaking about the camera, it is worth noting the presence of four image sensors, as well as an LED flash, consisting of two modules.
