Can’t speak to the authenticity of this video or device, but it’s allegedly made by Xiaomi, I’m told. Hot new phone, or gadget porn deepfake?

Samsung has explained its foldable smartphone prototype last year. Even Lenovo showed off their working prototype of bending smartphones a few years back. Huawei, Oppo, and Lenovo are reportedly working on its foldable smartphone which will be launched this year. Moreover, it will be a strong competition between smartphone manufacturers like Xiaomi, Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, and even Apple. Apple has been reportedly filing patents works for some designs.
