Xiaomi working on its first vertical foldable, coming later this year
In the first half of last year, Xiaomi launched its first mass-produced folding smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi MIX FOLD. The foldable adopted a book-style folding screen solution similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, but bringing the price of the foldable device lower than that of the competitor, with a price tag of 9999 yuan, to around 1300 euros at the exchange rate.
At that time, smartphones with the same folding screen solution on the market generally cost more than 1500 euros, so the Mi MIX FOLD broke the previous price barrier of foldables, making this category much more competitive.
Well, as mentioned earlier, Xiaomi would be close to launching its first vertically folding screen device, which could be included in the MIX series, just like its big brother Mi MIX Fold.
In terms of base specs, Xiaomi's new foldable could use a panel with Full HD + resolution and a refresh rate that should be 120Hz. It will also be equipped with a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and will support super charging. rapid.
As for the prices instead, since Xiaomi always tends to lower them compared to the competition and given that in any case the foldable with vertical screen is cheaper to produce than the one with horizontal mechanism, we expect a lower price than that of the Xiaomi Mi MIX FOLD. . Furthermore, according to various rumors from China, rumors have it that Xiaomi's vertical foldable is more geared towards women.
We just have to wait for further leaks or official news to find out more!
