What seemed like fantasy soon turned into reality and today folding smartphones, or rather foldable, are becoming increasingly popular net of prices that are still quite prohibitive. But the desire to own one is great and therefore there are many who make farce calte to win a copy. We have booklet and shell design and are already thinking about integrating slide screens to further increase the visual experience. Among the main companies that have begun their adventure in the folding smartphone sector we find Samsung, which is already thinking about its third generation of foldables but already from the first announcement of Samsung Galaxy Fold, Xiaomi had come under first-hand bringing its folding concept, a prototype that never reached the market, indeed, to be honest, no one has ever seen it live.
But Xiaomi has not abandoned the idea of launching its private foldable, so much so that within the source code of MIUI 12, the XDA staff has found some evidence that confirms the work in progress of the folding device, which should respond codenamed CETUS. Specifically, the developers of XDA have examined the code of the latest closed beta of MIUI 12 for Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, finding clues and specifications of the CETUS folding.
The MIUI 12 code reveals CETUS, the first Xiaomi foldable with a 108 MP camera and Snapdragon CPU
But could it just be a desire to dream on the part of the XDA team? In fact, the code strings specifically mention isFlodAbleDevice, probably a typographical error which he intends to mean isFoldAbleDevice or not? The answer is given to us by other strings of code that refer to the fold of the display and the identification of changes to the fold state. Among other things, CETUS should be launched with the Android 11 operating system on board, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and main camera with 108 MP resolution.

Unfortunately, no further specifications emerge on the device, but certainly Xiaomi will aim for the best hardware in circulation, considering that it will have to compete with fierce opponents and who already have the necessary experience and feedback from users who have trusted the previous generations of foldable. . We do not know if CETUS will be the first Xiaomi foldable to be marketed, but one thing is certain, if the Asian brand wants to stay on the crest of the wave, considering that it has always been given its reputation as an innovation company, it will have to soon get his foldout out of the magic hat before it's too late and stay out of the game.
But if the back is really that, why not make the folding parts that close the empty structure?
