The tablet-like device folds backwards on the left and the right, turning into what looks like a conventional touch-screen smartphone. Leaker Evan Blass couldn’t vouch for its authenticity.
As you can see in the video below, the phone folds in not one but two places. When unfolded, it looks and works like a regular tablet. Except this isn’t any ordinary tablet: two sides of the device can be folded backwards, transforming it into a smartphone. When the sides are folded back, the user interface automatically adjusts to the smaller display.
Bin noted that the device in the video is only a prototype but said Xiaomi would consider mass producing it in the future if people like it. The prototype doesn’t yet have a name; Xiaomi is considering calling it the Dual Flex or MIX Flex, but Bin said he’s open to suggestions.
Notable leaker Evan Blass yesterday tweeted a video that shows a tablet-like device running Android that folds backward in two places to turn into something that looks like a conventional smartphone.
