Xiaomi is no stranger to the world of innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of smartphone design and functionality. One of their latest achievements involves receiving authorization for a foldable mobile phone appearance patent, which promises a unique and groundbreaking design for their future devices. Here are the details…

Xiaomi’s Innovative Foldable Mobile Phone Design Receives Patent Authorization

The patent, filed by Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software, was recently authorized by the State Intellectual Property Office. This new foldable mobile phone, designed primarily for mobile communication, camera, network, and multimedia applications, brings a fresh perspective to the foldable smartphone market. The design’s key feature is its distinctive shape, which sets it apart from other foldable devices currently available.

According to the patent images, the upper half of the phone screen can be folded back onto the rear, effectively converting the front camera into a rear camera after folding. This innovative design allows for seamless transitioning between front and rear cameras, eliminating the need for a separate rear camera module and potentially making the device more compact.

While the patent images provide a glimpse of what the foldable phone might look like, it is important to note that this design has not yet been seen on the market. This new folding screen form has the potential to revolutionize the foldable smartphone industry and further cement Xiaomi’s reputation as an innovator in the technology space.

It remains uncertain whether this patented design will make its way into production and ultimately end up in consumers’ hands. However, it is clear that Xiaomi continues to push the envelope when it comes to smartphone design, and this latest patent authorization is yet another testament to their commitment to innovation.

This year was a busy year for Xiaomi, especially for patent filings. The Chinese phone maker had previously filed patents for two foldable phones dubbed Mi Mix Fold and Mi Mix Flip. Recently, we heard about the Xiaomi Mi Fold with an inward folding design. Now, Xiaomi has filed another patent that showcases a simple flip phone in all its glory.

The Xiaomi flip is a new flip phone from the Chinese smartphone maker that comes with a simple flip mechanism. Xiaomi had filed the new patent with WIPO(World Intellectual Property Organisation) and it was first discovered by 91Mobies.

According to the patent, the Xiaomi flip has a Mi Mix Flip-like design with an inward folding mechanism. It seems to have also taken notes from the Samsung Galaxy Z flip as the Xiaomi flip has almost the same form factor.

The smartphone has dual-rear cameras placed horizontally, along with a secondary display. When unfolded, there is a large primary screen with thin bezels. It has a dual front camera setup at the top left of the screen.

Moreover, the phone has a volume rocker and a power button on the right. It features a speaker grille and a USB Type-C port at the bottom.

As it is still in the patent stage, it could be a long time until we see the device materialize into something real. But till then, the leaks about such phones have got us covered.

In recent years, fast charging technology in smartphones has had various advancements thanks to breakthroughs in technology. These improvements have also made wireless charging faster and more relevant in the market, but, Xiaomi is apparently working on making this technology even better, especially for foldable smartphones.

The Chinese tech giant had filed for a patent titled “Wireless Charging Method and Device, Folding Screen Electronic Equipment, Storage Media” back in 8th January 2020. Now, this patent has been granted, with a publication number of CN113098152A that was spotted on the CNIPA. While the patent doesn’t reveal any specifics regarding the fast charging technology or has any images of a particular device, it describes how a fast charging tech on a foldable phones would work.

Interestingly, the foldable handset will support wireless charging from either half of its rear panel. So regardless of whether it is folded or which side you place it on, the device will still support wireless charging even if only one half is in contact with the wireless charging pad. In other words, the device can be charged from either halves or the entire unfolded rear panel as well, making it more convenient for the users.

Furthermore, the patent states that the wireless charging device will first initiate a handshake communication with the foldable handset to obtain its supported charging type. This could enable the wireless charger to be more efficient and shorten the time to charge the foldable smartphone to full. Keep in mind that this is still just a patent and we have no way of confirming if Xiaomi is actually working on such technology, or is just covering all bases.

The post Xiaomi patents new fast wireless charging tech for foldable smartphones appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier in January this year, rumors about Xiaomi‘s much-touted foldable smartphone ran riot with a leaked photo of the foldable phone running MIUI 12 first appearing and then a report which claimed Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo will all launch foldable phones this year. Also, the foldable device has got certified by China’s TENAA which is suggestive of an imminent launch.

The latest leak about the Mi foldable smartphone is from noted tipster Digital Chat Station. The tipster hinted on Weibo that the Xiaomi foldable will adopt an internal structural design similar to that of Samsung’s latest Galaxy Z Fold 2. This also includes the hinge design.

The vast majority of foldable phones presently in the market use one form of hinge design or the other to achieve the folding effect. The structure also supports the repeated folding movements of the flexible screen. However, the hinge is also a major flaw in the current foldable phones. It was a defect in the hinge design that affected the initial  Galaxy Z Fold, thus reducing the durability of the phone. The defective hinge led to dust particles getting into the phone.

Apart from the hinge design, another important aspect is the folding style. In this regard, there is the in-folding and out-folding designs. Both orientations bring different usage methods and screen durability. Previous rumors already hinted that Xiaomi’s first foldable smartphone will adopt an in-folding design that can better protect the flexible display panel from wear and tear. Also, the main screen will not have any opening.

According to reports, the Xiaomi foldable phone will use a foldable OLED panel supplied by Samsung, with a specific size of 8.03 inches. The phone will also be equipped with a 6.38-inch secondary screen at the rear.

Another reason why Xiaomi’s model is worth looking forward to is the pricing. Xiaomi may bring the device as the cheapest foldable phone around.

Xiaomi sent the tech media into a frenzy in January when the company’ VP Wang Zhang released a video of himself operating a Mi foldable phone that has had been in the works. After the dust generated by the media frenzy died down, it was disclosed that the phone would not be released anytime soon. Rightly so, since then, little has been heard from the firm concerning the double folding phone. Well, until now as Xiaomi has released a new video which teases the foldable device. This teaser may be a suggestion that the foldable phone may debut soon.

The teaser video is a short one, barely 10 seconds long. It is a demo of the phone, showing the device being operated while flat and then folded. As you may have known, the Mi foldable phone uses a double fold design. The video also shows the operator using it with gesture control which is more a feature of Android 9-based MIUI 9. Gesture controls are always handy with one-handed operations especially since the display will be very big.

The Mi Foldable smartphone is expected to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset. The folding phone’s display is said to be co-developed with Visionox. The device is expected to be unveiled anytime in the second quarter of the year around April to June. The device is touted to adopt half the price tag of the Galaxy Fold which starts at $1,980.

An interesting drama is currently playing out between two of China’s innovative companies, Royole Technology and Xiaomi. A couple of months back, Royole Technology was an unknown company but it blasted into the scene with the unveiling of the first true foldable phone dubbed Royole Flexpai. The company even recently showcased the smartphone at CES 2019. While the company is yet to disclose when the Flexpai will become available, its achievement is about getting overshadowed by Xiaomi’s foldable phone that was outed recently. Even though there are reports that the phone is still a long way from going commercial, the company effectively took the shine off Royole’s Flexpai.

That has apparently not gone down well with Royole as the company’s president recently took a swipe at Xiaomi’s own foldable model. The post didn’t directly mention Xiaomi but the content leaves no one in doubt that Xiaomi was being referred to. The company CEO shared a post by his VP which talked about the patented technology which the company has and how some companies are in the process of imitating its innovation. Obviously, Royole is aware that if Xiaomi goes head to head with it by launching a commercial model at the same time, it won’t survive the competition. The post apparently downplays Xiaomi’s ability to commercialize the concept foldable phone which it believes uses materials that may not be durable.

Xiaomi was quick to respond, that the Xiaomi double folding mobile phone is an innovative product independently developed by Xiaomi. The company went on to state that the flexible folding screen of this phone is the result of joint development by Xiaomi and supply chain partners. The company was also irked by headlines touting Xiaomi to have unveiled the world’s first foldable phone. However, that was clarified in the official response that the double folding design is the first in the industry.

The media has been awash with rumours of Xiaomi phones both from the newly unbundled flagship Mi brand and the Redmi brand. The company is even expected to announce a new Redmi phone tomorrow and several teasers have been released in that regard. One of the teasers released today called the unknown device “Little King Kong”. The teaser post was reposted by the Mi phone Weibo account and the post seems to suggest that more than one product tomorrow. The post wasn’t specific about the other product(s) that would be launched alongside the Redmi phone which is likely the Redmi Note 7. We can’t even say for sure if it is a smartphone or other smart devices. However, a leaked video of a foldable phone said to be from Xiaomi appeared online recently. The phone’s icons are similar to those of Xiaomi’s MIUI but that can’t be authenticated. Thus, it is difficult to say if the foldable phone is among the products that Xiaomi will show off on January 10. There are rumours that the device will be showcased as well on January 10 but that’s nothing but a rumour.
