New Foldable?
There appears to be a second foldable in the plans for Xiaomi. The first one was just launched a few months ago but now leaksters are claiming that the company is ready to introduce another one in Q4.
GSMArena reports that one source claims the device will come with a Snapdragon 888 chipset, a 5,000 mAh battery and a 108MP camera. On top of that, it will bring an improved hinge, something that is extremely important for these types of devices.
There are no major details at the moment besides the rumored specs. It is unclear if there will be different variants with RAM and storage or a device for other markets. The Mi Mix Fold is currently a China only release.
Xiaomi began showing teasers of foldable phones a while back. A few of those videos came even before some foldables from other companies were released. During that time, the company released several smartphones and unveiled one with a much different design, the Mi Mix Alpha. That device was never released since it was later ruled out by the company. But Xiaomi has now entered the foldable race and it appears that the company is planning to offer more than just one foldable device.
What do you think about the specs? Are you waiting for a second release? Let us know in the comments.
