The gadget really does look like a mix between the Alpha and the Fold. It is, basically, an inward folder, other than that the secondary screen on the outside is not a different panel, but rather a part of the main panel that twists around the side of among the folding halves.
In late 2019 Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Mix Alpha with a curious style that had a single screen cover around the front, side and back of the device. Xiaomi has currently considered such a possibility and submitted a patent on the style last year, though the files were just made openly available today.
Xiaomi patents a foldable phone with a wraparound display screen like the Mi Mix Alpha
Xiaomis CEO Lei Jun discussed that the wraparound screen is an obstacle to produce while announcing the phone. With the subsequent cancellation, its clear that it really is a significant obstacle to get rid of. And that lacked the included complexity of a folding system.
The thicker part that holds the video cameras is similar to the Alpha, which lacked a “front” dealing with electronic camera– it didnt require one either as the wraparound display allowed users to shoot selfies with the primary electronic camera. “Would have enabled”, anyhow, as the phone was canceled prior to launch.

Report has it that Xiaomi is preparing to release a 2nd foldable in Q4– could this be it? Unlikely, in part because the rumor declared that the device will have two different screens, one 120 Hz panel by Samsung and one 90 Hz panel by Visionox. And in part because such a device would be additional hard to build (and hence more pricey than even present foldables).
