With Samsung officially entering the terrain of tri-folding smartphones after Huawei, we expect more brands to launch their takes on this technology. According to a new report, it seems that Xiaomi will be the next to follow suit. A new certification from the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) appears to shed some light on Xiaomi's upcoming tri-fold.

Xiaomi Mix TriFold Hits Certification - Coming Next Year

We've heard about a Xiaomi Tri-Folding Smartphone multiple times, and some leaks even revealed patents for this new foldable. The new listing suggests the device, which may come as the Xiaomi Mix TriFold. The device has the 2608BPX34C model number, and this listing is a clear hint of its imminent arrival.

Unfortunately, the information is rather scarce about this particular smartphone. According to the reports, it will launch sometime in the third quarter of 2026. This means anytime between July and September 2026. The smartphone features top-tier specifications. It includes an 8-series Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, probably the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It will also feature a triple-camera system.

The Device's Design Language Will Follow Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Approach

Considering the patent renders, Xiaomi will opt for a design that resembles the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. In this design approach, the main screen folds inward. When folded, the device has the look of a regular device with a standard cover display and a rear camera setup.
