It can find applications in the company’s flexible smartphones.
Xiaomi has long been one of the ten largest players in the smartphone market, and it is unlikely that anything will change in the foreseeable future. However, not everyone knows that Xiaomi started not with smartphones, but with the MIUI shell. MIUI was launched back in 2010, and at that time it was quite original.
Xiaomi is working on a new shell, completely unlike MIUI, but similar to Windows Phone
It is difficult to imagine that Xiaomi abandoned MIUI in favour of something else, or radically changed its appearance. However, the company at least is working on a shell made in a completely different design. This is indicated by a patent found on the Web.
This is clearly a sketch of the Mi Mix Alpha model, which means that the interface from the patents can still appear on this device and, for example, on the upcoming flexible Xiaomi smartphones. It is unlikely as the main one, but in the form of an additional or alternative one – completely.
