The foldable device industry is getting more intense as competition increases and companies in the category are constantly striving to innovate. We previously reported that Samsung is working on a dual foldable and rollable device that could potentially launch next year. Reports have also surfaced that Huawei is working on multiple foldable phones, and there is even a possibility that the company could be the first to launch this form factor.

Now, Xiaomi is grabbing attention by developing a triple-folding design that could heat up the competition even further. While Samsung is a pioneer in advancing the concept of foldable phones, other companies are working hard to innovate in the category. With the recent news of the development of a triple-folding phone, we could see a drastic change in the market dynamics.

Xiaomi is reportedly working on a triple-folding phone that could potentially launch in 2025

Samsung has unleashed a wave of innovation with the introduction of the new technology, which has helped the foldable industry grow significantly and led to the launch of some great products, such as the popular Huawei Mate X3 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Previous reports surfaced of Huawei developing a triple-folding phone, and now a source has revealed that Xiaomi’s triple-folding smartphone is also in development.

As reported by Smart Pikachu, a Weibo tipster, Xiaomi is in an advanced stage of development and if this claim is true, there is a possibility that the launch will happen very soon. We could even imagine it being unveiled at MWC 2025 or some other major event, as the device could be ready by then. Since no other details have been revealed to further substantiate the claim, we should take it with a grain of salt.

Xiaomi is already in the foldable industry. While this may not mark the category as new, a triple-folding smartphone from Xiaomi could potentially bring about change in the industry, especially with the growing competition. There is speculation that the Xiaomi phone will ship with the HyperOS software and Leica camera layout under Xiaomi’s MIX brand, but this is yet to be officially confirmed.

Xiaomi and its competitors are actively working on innovating and testing foldable phones by developing new technologies that could resonate well with users, change the foldable industry, and even help expand the market.
