Xiaomi is also working on a tri-fold phone
Huawei is developing a triple-folding smartphone, but it"s not the only company doing so. A tipster claims Xiaomi is also in the advanced stages of development of such a product.
The source has a decent track record, so while he didn"t provide solid evidence there"s good reason to belive him. The new device will be part of the Mix lineup, he says, and we will see the phone, or at least a prototype, in February 2025 during the Mobile World Congress.

There is half an year until MWC and Xiaomi just last month brought two new foldables, so it is highly unlikely the new device to arrive soon so as not to take the spotlight from the first Xiaomi Mix Flip and the Mix Fold 4. However as we approach the holiday season Xiaomi will certainly be tempted to tease such an exciting product.
The Huawei tri-fold device will have a Z-shaped folding pattern and the company"s business group CEO promised it"s coming in September. Odds are it will only be sold in China and even there in limited quantities as a sort of extended beta test.
