Xiaomi Challenges Huawei’s Tri-Fold Smartphone Dominance

Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone may soon face competition from tech giant Xiaomi. A recent patent application, filed with China’s State Intellectual Property Office (application number 2022308530675), reveals Xiaomi’s plans for a tri-fold device.

Key Details:

  • Design resembles Huawei Mate XT’s Z-shape folding mechanism
  • Horizontally placed rear camera island, narrower than Xiaomi Mix Fold 4
  • Three rear cameras (compared to Mix Fold 4’s four)
  • Potentially thicker than Huawei Mate XT, with room for improvement

Historical Context:

  • Xiaomi’s interest in tri-fold technology dates back to 2019
  • Previous patents showed different designs, including dual inward folding
  • Company has been exploring various form factors and folding mechanisms

Rumors and Speculation:

  • Weibo tipster “Smart Pikachu” mentioned Xiaomi’s tri-fold development in August
  • Potential launch timeframe: 2025

This development signals Xiaomi’s commitment to innovative smartphone designs and its intention to compete in the emerging tri-fold market segment.
