While this is just a patent, it is not known whether Xiaomi will decide to bring such a wild idea to life.

In any case, the company already has many patents forfolding smartphones, but so far no such devices are on sale. In late January, the head of Xiaomi showed the work of a folding smartphone on video, but so far this gadget has not entered the market.
