Just a few weeks ago when Samsung showed us its foldable phone demo it felt like an innovation and how futuristic it looked. Fast forward to the first week of January and that phone already looks like an old school. The one and only Evan Blass has posted a video in his Twitter account about a phone just a few days after the Nokia 9 Pureview leaks which is supposed to be foldable phone made by Xiaomi.
Since 2019 is gonna be the year of foldable phones Xiaomi might have been thinking "Since someone's gonna fold it once why don't we try to fold it twice. The more the merrier right?" And here we are looking at a video of a phone which can fold three times albeit with three times the thickness.
Can't speak to the authenticity of this video or device, but it's allegedly made by Xiaomi, I'm told. Hot new phone, or gadget porn deepfake? pic.twitter.com/qwFogWiE2F— Evan Blass (@evleaks) January 3, 2019
Evan Blass himself isn't sure if the phone is from Xiaomi but boy does it look flipping awesome. (See what I did there?) In the video below posted my Evan Blass on his Twitter account we can see that the user opening and using the Google maps in a tablet mode and after closing the app, the phone is folded twice, once from either side to form a phone with a more compact form and the UI shifts accordingly.
Sure the phone has its imperfections, visibly the display issues but even then of all the foldable phones we have seen this one is the most complete and elegant of all. Xiaomi itself hasn't responded to the leak and no official news of foldable phone being made has come out of the company. And it raises all the questions about how the apps are gonna work and how the camera is gonna be setup. Will the foldable part function after being folded? Well whatever it is gonna be we can't deny that foldable phones are here and the hype is real, and we are definitely excited for it.
