It's been a long time that people talk and speculate about the first folding smartphone of the Xiaomi brand, namely the Mi Flex, which appeared some time ago in an official video in which it could be admired in the hands of President Lin Bin, but since then it has not been they had no more official news nor the presentation of some sort of prototype. Yet studies in this field continue, so much so that rumors have often pointed to the future Mi Mix 4 as the actual folding of the Chinese brand.
Now a new patent that emerged online suggests that Lei Jun's company may have returned to the original idea, that is, a folding device with a book design, which leaves the display inside instead showing the outside of a shell, probably made of ceramic , which seems to report a sort of recess for the space of a part of the support display, which could show the main information such as date, time, notifications and weather.
New Xiaomi patent rekindles hopes on the brand's first folding smartphone
A closer look at the patent actually realizes that what seemed to be a display is actually the original display of the terminal, since the S-cut of the body is a real indentation of the same to give vent to a dual camera which in landscape mode will serve for selfie shots and once closed the smartphone will perform the function of a rear camera, of which we obviously ignore the specifications.
The fact is that the likely Mi Flex once folded will be a compact terminal that will not leave any play between the display and the body when closed.
Recall that being a patent, like many others proposed by the brand, this could never be made, but if it were the other way round, you would like the design of the first Xiaomi folding, And does that missing part on the body drive you crazy? I already know that I would use it as anti stress.
