We already know that Samsung is working on its foldable phone, and it was also showcased officially back in November last year. Out of nowhere, now a new video of a foldable smartphone from Xiaomi has surfaced, thanks to @evleaks. It can be folded both the sides, turning the huge tablet-like screen to a small phone-like formfactor. If this is real, this should be the world’s first dual-side foldable phone.
Can’t speak to the authenticity of this video or device, but it’s allegedly made by Xiaomi, I’m told. Hot new phone, or gadget porn deepfake? pic.twitter.com/qwFogWiE2F

It runs MIUI 10, and the UI adapts to the screen size quickly. According to rumors from China, the phone might be teased at its Redmi event on January 10th as a surprise, while the official announcement and availability might take time. We should know more details about the foldable phone from Xiaomi soon.
