Another top Android brand is joining the wide-screen foldable bandwagon

Following Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi may be gearing up to release a wide foldable smartphone. An image of the foldable was unveiled as part of the company's Hyper OS 4 beta update. This could see Xiaomi join the ranks of Samsung and Apple, who recently unveiled wide-screen foldable devices. The launch of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 reignited interest in the concept, which was last seen on the first-generation Google Pixel Fold.

Rumors also suggest that Apple plans to release its first foldable iPhone later this fall. Xiaomi has now joined this growing list of potential wide-screen foldable manufacturers. However, it remains unclear whether this is a genuine announcement or a mistake by the manufacturer. Nevertheless, this image of Xiaomi's rumored wide foldable is the strongest evidence yet that such a device may be imminent.
