An insider has revealed details about an early engineering sample of a foldable smartphone from one of the top 5 manufacturers in the Chinese market that they had the chance to examine. The device features a flexible internal display with a diagonal of approximately 7.6 inches and an external screen measuring around 5.5 inches. The aspect ratio of the screen is about 14:10.
The innovation is equipped with a next-generation single-chip system, and the battery in the current test version has a capacity of less than 6000 mAh. The camera block includes a periscope module, which remains a rarity for similar smartphones. According to the source, this is the first smartphone on the market with such characteristics and a similar screen aspect ratio. Sales are expected next year.
The unveiling of this foldable smartphone aligns with the trend seen among Chinese technology giants pushing the envelope in design and features to compete globally. While Samsung dominates the foldable market internationally, brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo are innovating rapidly to capture consumer interest. Recent advancements in chip design have made such devices more powerful and efficient, catering to a growing demand for versatile mobile technology.
Recent reports highlight that chipset manufacturers like MediaTek are bringing forward releases, with their Dimensity series competing directly with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. The speedy iteration in technology is crucial as companies like Realme integrate vibrant displays from Samsung, considered a benchmark in the industry.
Digital Chat Station first accurately reported specifications of the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro, as well as Realme GT 7 Pro’s vivid Samsung display and the earlier release of the Dimensity 9400 SoC before the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This new foldable smartphone’s introduction places its manufacturer in direct contention in the high-stakes world of top-notch mobile technology.
