Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 is right around the corner, but the company may have some unexpected competition from Xiaomi in the foldable market.
Samsung has been living large in the U.S. foldable market, facing little competition aside from the OnePlus Open and Google Pixel Fold. While both are good foldables in their own right, Samsung still dominates the market with its Flip and Fold series after selling as many as 10 million+ Fold 5 and Flip 5 models alone. However, that may be set to change if the latest rumor from reliable leaker Ice Universe is to be believed.
According to Ice Universe, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 will be released sometime after July 12 to global markets, putting it after the launch of the Honor Magic V3 and the July 10 launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. That’s a pretty remarkable development, if true. Despite being the third-largest smartphone manufacturer and selling its devices in 37 countries, Xiaomi has never sold phones in the U.
