New Xiaomi foldable smartphone in the works

Xiaomi could launch a new foldable smartphone later this year. Ahead of the rumoured launch, alleged specifications of the device have leaked online. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station reported that the upcoming Mi foldable would feature some sort of “proactive under-screen technology”. The company is already testing the internal structure of its next foldable smartphone, according to the tipster. It will have an inward folding mechanism and will come with an improved hinge mechanism.

The foldable phone from Xiaomi will have two displays. The foldable display built by Samsung will support a 120Hz refresh rate, whereas the outer screen will have a 90Hz refresh rate support. DCS further noted that the foldable phone will draw power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC under the hood. It will pack a 5000 mAh battery and a 108MP camera sensor.
