Xiaomi continues to experiment with flexible screens for its smartphones. This time, Xiaomi has patented the design of a slider smartphone with a flexible screen and a selfie camera hiding in a separate module.

The flexible screen covers almost the entire front panel, the bottom edge, folds over and extends over most of the rear panel. The front camera is not visible at first glance. However, the front panel with the screen can be moved down a couple of centimeters and then the module with the front camera opens.

Basically, the mechanism is similar to the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 (review), except for the addition of a flexible screen that folds over the back. You can command the module to move by tapping on the screen or by voice. Using part of the screen on the rear panel, you can, for example, take a selfie with the main camera.

The color images were created by industrial designer Sarang Sheth for LetsGoDigital, who found the documentation. The renders are based on the official images from the patent.

Note that fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation of the Mi Mix series from Xiaomi, which was interrupted on the Mi Mix 3. The company introduced the Mi Mix Alpha in 2019, but after several delays in its release, it was canceled altogether. With a high degree of probability, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 smartphone will debut during 2021, as LetsGoDigital confirms.

In the official Russian online store Xiaomi, the Mi Mix 3 smartphone is still available at a price of 44,990 rubles.
