On November 15, it was reported by Tiger mobiles that a group of patent pictures from the State Intellectual Property Office had been exposed, revealing the possibility of Xiaomi developing a folding flip smartphone. Although these patents have only been exposed now, they were submitted in August 2018.

There are some differences between the mobile phone in the figure and the Motorola Razr just released. The former is a regular shaped mobile phone after being opened from a square, and the proportion of the external screen is smaller than that of Motorola Razr. It may only be used to preview SMS, APP messages or call display. This mobile phone has no chin like Motorola Razr and no bangs, so the screen share should be higher.

There are two cameras on the back of the mobile phone in the patent drawing. Xiaomi does not intend to install them on the upper back after expansion, but on the lower half of the body. If the narrow outer screen can be used as a viewfinder, the machine can also use a rear camera after folding.

It should be noted that the patent application is not equivalent to the real product, but it does show that Xiaomi is interested in the product with this appearance.
