After HUAWEI‘s release of its tri-fold smartphone, Xiaomi is set to unveil its first tri-fold smartphone, code-named “zhuque,” in the first quarter of 2025.
This innovative device will not only showcase a unique tri-fold design but will also be the brand’s first buttonless smartphone.
The company plans to release two versions: one equipped with satellite communication capabilities and another without.
Looking ahead, Xiaomi is already preparing a second tri-fold model, designated “26013VP46C,” expected to debut in early 2026, likely powered by the anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.
However, there are concerns about potential software issues, echoing challenges faced by the earlier MIX Alpha device, which struggled with updates and usability post-launch.
In related news, HUAWEI’s tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT, is expected to hit global markets by Q1 2025, although international pricing details remain unconfirmed.
