Summary
A Xiaomi image embedded in its HyperOS 4 beta update offered the clearest look yet at the company’s upcoming wide-screen foldable, showing thick inner-display bezels, camera placement and software tuned for the form factor.
That reveal follows Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 launch and adds weight to reports that Xiaomi is preparing a 4:3-style wide foldable rather than the taller book-style designs common in recent years.
Industry chatter is also building around premium wide-body foldables from Xiaomi and Apple, with leaker Digital Chat Station saying both brands may target the high end while Samsung and Huawei cover more affordable wide options.
Samsung said the Galaxy Z Fold 8 made up about 70% of total preorders for the Z8 series, suggesting strong demand that could draw more brands into the wide-screen foldable segment.
