Xiaomi launches its first foldable smartphone

Xiaomi pulled the wraps off its first official foldable smartphone - the Mi Mix Fold - during the second day of its Mega Launch 2021 event.

The company has previously showcased an ambitious prototype foldable for which the screen could be folded in two places.

Its first real foldable headed to the market, however, will employ the same booklet-style form factor as Samsung's Galaxy Fold smartphones and Huawei's Mate X2.

Hopefully this new Xiaomi phone will encourage more competition and innovation which should result in lower prices. Currently I would not consider purchasing this type of device but I might reconsider if it becomes more widespread and provides obvious advantages over devices with smaller screens.

I like it. Very cool.
I'd go for one if I could afford it.

“Xiaomi claimed the foldable screen had been tested to last for 1 million folds, while the hinge can go for at least 200 bends.”

200 bends wow!!!
