Huawei is developing a triple-foldable smartphone, but it’s not the only company doing so. The source claims that Xiaomi is also in the advanced stages of developing such a product.
The source has a decent track record, so while he didn’t provide solid evidence, there’s good reason to believe him. The new device will be part of the Mix line, he says, and we’ll see the phone, or at least a prototype, at Mobile World Congress in February 2025.

If the rumor turns out to be true, we expect to learn more details in the coming months.
With MWC still half a year away and Xiaomi only unveiling two new foldable smartphones last month, it’s unlikely that a new device will arrive anytime soon and outshine the original Xiaomi Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4. However, as the holiday season approaches, Xiaomi will certainly be tempted to announce such an exciting product.
Huawei’s Tri-fold device will be a Z-foldable device, and the company’s business group CEO has promised it will arrive in September. It’s likely to be sold only in China, and even there in limited quantities as a sort of extended beta test.
