In a Weibo post, user @Smart Pikachu revealed that Xiaomi may be planning to introduce a tri-fold smartphone.
Like other tri-fold smartphones, the device will have three separate parts that can be opened up to form a large screen on the inside, similar in size to a tablet.
When folded, the phone will have a standard form factor like other smartphones but will be thicker due to the three screens inside.
The post added that Xiaomi's 3-fold phone could be unveiled at a tech event, such as the Mobile World Congress 2025 scheduled for February next year.

It could become the latest foldable phone design to be unveiled by Xiaomi, after the company's first foldable smartphone, the Xiaomi Mix Flip, was unveiled on July 19.
If this rumor is true, there will definitely be a lot of information about this product in the coming time.
MWC is still about half a year away and Xiaomi just launched two new foldable phones last month, so it is difficult for the company
to launch a tri-fold phone early to avoid affecting the sales and attention of the Xiaomi MIX Flip and MIX Fold 4.
In a recent post on Weibo, Digital Chat Station revealed that they had the opportunity to test a new tri-fold screen prototype. Many previous rumors have said that Huawei is developing a unique tri-fold screen smartphone.
According to Gizmochina citing information from Digital Chat Station, Huawei's tri-fold phone will be the world's first smartphone with an innovative inward and outward folding design with a dual hinge. Currently, foldable screen smartphones on the market today only allow users to fold in one direction, either inward or outward.
What’s more, Huawei’s upcoming tri-fold phone will have a 10-inch display and will have a crease-controlled fold. The post also claims that the smartphone has “cutting-edge new technology” and mentions a lack of “competitors,” a bold statement given Samsung ’s dominance in the foldable phone market.
