The foldable industry is getting increasingly intense with the growing competition and innovation that companies keep on striving for in the category. Earlier, we covered Samsung working on double foldable and rollable that could potentially be coming out next year. Reports regarding Huawei working on multiple folding phones have also surfaced, and even the possibility that it could be the first to launch this form factor.
Now Xiaomi is getting attention for developing a triple-fold design that could heat up the competition further. While Samsung is a pioneer in bringing the concept of foldable phones ahead, other companies are working arduously to bring innovations in the category. With the recent news of tri-fold being in the works, we could see market dynamics transform drastically.
Xiaomi is reportedly working on a tri-fold phone that could potentially come out in 2025
Samsung, by bringing forward the new technology, set a wave of innovations that have helped grow the foldable industry profoundly and have led to some great products being introduced, such as the popular Huawei Mate X3 and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Earlier reports regarding Huawei developing a triple-fold phone emerged, and now a tipster has given away that Xiaomi's triple-fold smartphone is also in development,
As reported by Smart Pikachu, a Weibo tipster, Xiaomi is in the advanced stages of development, and there is a possibility that if this claim stands true, the launch will happen very soon. We could even see it being launched at the MWC 2025 or any other big event, as the device could be ready by then. Given that there are no more details shared to further support the claim, we should take it with a grain of salt.
Xiaomi is already in the foldable industry, so while it might not mark the category as fresh, a triple-folding smartphone by Xiaomi could potentially shift things in the industry, especially with the growing competition. There is speculation that the Xiaomi phone is to ship with the HyperOS software and Leica camera layout under the MIX brand of Xiaomi, but it is still to be officially confirmed.
Xiaomi and the competition are actively working to revamp and experiment with foldable phones by developing new technology that users could well receive, shifting the foldable industry and even helping expand the market.
