In the mobile industry it is very common to find similar smartphones, especially when one of them is very successful and that is what Xiaomi must have thought. One of the latest patents registered by the Chinese manufacturer leaves no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Fold has served as inspiration for Xiaomi’s folding mobile that is to come.
Everything that has been shown about him so far makes us think that the Asian firm is working on a mobile practically traced to that of Samsung, introducing slight modifications that give a differentiating point. For a long time we have been hearing about the release of a first folding mobile by Xiaomi , although it really does not finish arriving, some reasons seem to be based on the fact that the designs were too controversial and difficult to develop, something that does not happen in this case having been able to see it in two different generations.
A “Galaxy Fold” with certain nuances
The main section of this type of mobile is folding and well, here it is also designed to bend inward to hide its large screen. Without being displayed we will also have access to a screen to perform functions as if it were a more classic mobile. For now as we see, everything is like in the Samsung model, but it changes when knowing the possibility to slide the Xiaomi screen and thus show its hidden front cameras.
The images also let us see a speaker, which instead of being located at the top would be placed under the sliding screen. With this design, Xiaomi seems to opt for an all-screen mobile that closely resembles the latest Galaxy Z Fold 2, but changing the hole in the front screen for the sliding screen.
When we open it to access its large screen, the resemblance is still very present with that of Samsung, without finding notches or modifications in the design. From behind the cameras would also be integrated into a super module, which in this case would include four lenses but in the same position as Samsung’s.
2021 may be the time of folding for Xiaomi
After much testing, manufacturing delays and inconvenience, Xiaomi now seems to have a clear idea of what it wants to achieve. Acquiring the screens from Samsung itself, it would not have problems in the development of the Xiaomi Fold folding mobile . For now there are no known specifications in this regard, although we can all think of the best Snapdragon processor, cameras to match and the connectivity necessary to demonstrate that they are capable of making a mobile “of the future.
