According to the source, the smartphone, currently referred to as the “N7”, does not have a predecessor in the company’s top model lineup. So this means that the company will release a model that it has never offered before. Xiaomi may enter the clamshell foldable phone market.
Xiaomi Mix Flip coming?
There are rumors that the new device could be called the Xiaomi Mix Flip. It looks like it will be in the same category as the Motorola Razr and Galaxy Z Flip. There is no firm release date for the device yet. Its properties are also unknown.
Although Xiaomi’s product portfolio includes the Mix Fold, the company lagged behind its competitors in the vertically foldable flip phone segment. Samsung, Motorola, Oppo and Vivo have phones of this type. Let’s see if the company will fix this shortcoming with the N7.
