Xiaomi Flip Phone CNIPA

Xiaomi could launch a flip phone very soon in China and other markets. The foldable phone could compete against the likes of the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The patent images listed on the CNIPA reveal the design of the upcoming Xiaomi foldable smartphone. The images reveal the design from all sides. According to the images, the Xiaomi clamshell foldable phone has a horizontal stripe on the back. The camera module bar is similar to the Google Pixel 6 series.

It has three circular cutouts, one of which could be for the LED flash. This means that the Xiaomi flip smartphone could feature a dual-camera setup. The design images obviously do not reveal any details about the camera sensors.

The images further reveal that the power and volume buttons are on the right edge of the frame. At the bottom edge lies the USB Type-C port, a speaker grille and the SIM tray. Notably, there is no cutout on the foldable screen.

It could be possible that Xiaomi uses its Camera Under Panel (CUP) tech for the under-screen front camera, which was first introduced in the Mix Fold.

Other details of the flip phone remain unknown. However, you can count on MySmartPrice to bring you the latest updates once available.
