Yesterday, we reported that Xiaomi is developing a phone with a rotating camera. Now, this well-known Chinese smartphone brand seems to have even more new developments. Today, we got another patent for a Xiaomi device, which appears to involve the design of a double-sided foldable phone.
Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. submitted this patent application on December 14, 2018, indicating that Xiaomi had been planning the production of this phone for a long time. The patent was approved by the China National Intellectual Property Office on June 23.
If we look at this patent, it can fold as easily as other foldable phones (such as the Galaxy Fold). However, if we look at other patent illustrations, this phone appears to be a true foldable device. The phone can be folded a little further to increase the width on one side. Even more interestingly, both sides of this foldable phone can fold more deeply (double-sided fold).
The patent also mentions the structural design of this mobile phone. The device includes an adjacent first body and a second body. It uses an OLED Flexible display
This patent only covers the design scheme of foldable phones. Such phones still seem far from mass production. However, as the patent has been approved, it is possible that the phone is currently in the development stage. Currently, there are no such foldable phones on the market. If there is any new information about this phone or other patent leaks, you will be promptly informed through our website.
