The phones will come with in-folding, out-folding, and clamshell designs. Source code spotted on MIUI 12 suggests groundwork being laid for Foldable devices
Xiaomi could release three foldable phones in 2021, as reported by Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants. He shared this development on Twitter. Besides this, he has also tweeted about other companies working on foldable phones such as Oppo. The news about Xiaomi working on a foldable smartphone is credited by other sources too, so it is possible that Xiaomi could release the phones as early as next year.
