Crazy Xiaomi patent: Such a smartphone would be a world premiere
It is common knowledge that Xiaomi likes to take risks. The Chinese are among the most experimental manufacturers in the industry. A new patent is now driving the mood for risk to the extreme: There you can see a smartphone that could be as sensitive as a raw egg in practice.
Error-prone and complicated in construction: moving parts are every product developer's nightmare. However, the engineers at Xiaomi are apparently not impressed by such practical objections. In a new patent, they not only imagine a smartphone with a pop-up camera - they go one step further .
Xiaomi patents a folding smartphone with a pop-up camera
Because in addition to the retractable camera, the Xiaomi smartphone should also have a foldable display . With this, Xiaomi would combine two niche technologies that are not exactly known for their longevity and resilience. Such a mobile phone would probably not be really suitable for everyday use, even if one could secure the title of a real world premiere. A folding smartphone with a pop-up camera would be a novelty.
According to the draft patent, the pop-up camera should work on both sides , i.e. when the Xiaomi smartphone is closed and open. With its comparatively small cover display, the device is reminiscent of the first generation of the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
From Xiaomi there is more than just smartphones:
Is Xiaomi really working on such a smartphone?
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Xiaomi is really working on such a folding smartphone with a pop-up camera. Mobile phone manufacturers often patent everything that is not nailed down in order to be well prepared for any legal disputes. At least the insider mentions a larger battery on Twitter, which according to Gizmochina could be an indication that there is actually more behind the patent .
