In the race to dominate the foldable smartphone market, Xiaomi is rumoured to be developing its own clamshell foldable device.
With major players like Samsung and Motorola already offering book-style and clamshell-like foldable smartphones, competition among leading manufacturers has intensified.
According to a leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi’s upcoming clamshell foldable smartphone is expected to be exceptionally thin and light. In response to a comment on Weibo, the tipster hinted that the device could be launched as early as next year.
It is speculated that Xiaomi may name the handset Mix Flip, following the naming convention of its Mix Fold series. While the company is gearing up to release the Mix Fold 3 soon, no details about the flip phone have emerged. As of now, no further information about the device has been leaked.
