Xiaomi Tri-Fold Smartphone Tipped to Be in Development With Launch Slated for MWC 2025

Xiaomi is said to have become the latest Chinese company to have a tri-fold smartphone in development, according to claims by a tipster on social media. If true, it will join Huawei and Samsung in the growing list of companies that have been reported to be developing a triple foldable smartphone. In recent weeks, Huawei's purported tri-fold smartphone reportedly appeared in various leaks, giving a glimpse at its alleged design and form factor. While little is known about the device, Xiaomi's said handset could debut as early as next year.

Xiaomi Tri-Fold Smartphone

In a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, tipster Smart Pikachu suggested that Xiaomi may be planning to introduce a tri-fold smartphone. Like other tri-fold smartphones, it would have three distinct sections that may be unfolded to unveil a large display on the inside, with similar dimensions to a tablet. When folded, the handset would have a candy bar form factor like other smartphones, albeit with more thickness owing to the three internal screens.

It is also suggested that the handset could make its debut at technology showcases, such as the Mobile World Congress 2025 which is scheduled to take place in February next year. It could become the latest foldable design to be launched by the Chinese smartphone maker, following the launch of its first-ever flip-style smartphone – the Xiaomi Mix Flip – on July 19.

As the name suggests, it would have to have three screens attached via a dual-hinge system, with two of them folding inwards and the other outwards. The inner display is speculated to be 10 inches in size, with a hole-punch cutout for the front camera located on the left-most screen.
