Xiaomi Foldable Phone Might Feature Triple Fold Design With Triple Rear Cameras

Xiaomi's new foldable smartphone came into light a few months ago, and we had blurry ideas about its specifications. However, the recently spotted patent has slightly lifted the curtains, hinting the device might have a triple fold design and a triple rear camera setup.

According to the patent, the smartphone sports a single display in an unfolded state. The device offers more screen area after it is folded outward on either side. The handset can be seen with two smaller screens on the outside of the two folds. The listing further reveals that the device has two large hinges, allowing the screen to fold.

The brand filed for this patent on March 1, 2019, which got registered on March 25. And, on August 8 the patent was published, which will expire on March 1, 2024.
