After Huawei and Samsung, Xiaomi is preparing a tri-fold smartphone
What's the story
Xiaomi is gearing up to enter the tri-foldable phone market with its upcoming MIX TriFold. The device has been spotted on a certification website, suggesting a future launch. The move comes as more brands are looking to explore this innovative segment of hybrid foldable devices. The MIX TriFold could take on Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold and Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Design in the same category.
Device details
A potential competitor in foldable technology
The MIX TriFold will give you the advantage of multiple devices in one, thanks to its tri-foldable design. However, specific details about the device's specifications are still under wraps. The report from China indicates that Xiaomi could launch this innovative device sometime later next year. But it might be restricted to the home market and not get a global release, unlike some other devices.
Market evolution
Xiaomi's entry into tri-foldable market
In 2018, Xiaomi unveiled its first-ever triple-foldable phone concept. Following this, tech companies like Huawei, Samsung, and others began exploring the idea. While Huawei became the first smartphone maker to launch a tri-fold device globally, Xiaomi initially stayed out of the race. Huawei has held a monopoly in this space for the past two years, but other brands are now entering the fray, intensifying competition in the triple-folding phone market.
