The foldable smartphone market is slowly but surely moving forward, and more and more tech enthusiasts are starting to like these devices. Unfortunately, producing smartphones with a foldable display is still very expensive, which is why these smartphones are not as widespread among the middle and lower classes.
Several manufacturers have started to focus on this issue, and Xiaomi itself already has big plans for year 2021. Foldable smartphones are clearly the bright future—but they still have a long way to go.
Affordable foldable smartphones
In the near future, Vivo, Oppo, Samsung, or exactly Xiaomi, wants to introduce several foldable smartphones. The more manufacturers there are in the field of these foldable devices, the bigger and stronger the competition will be, and therefore the more favorable the prices.
Not long ago, Xiaomi officially unveiled its new foldable smartphone called Mi MIX Fold. It combines top-tier specifications with a fairly high price. The base version 12 + 256 GB will cost you a bit under 1400 € via the TradingShenzhen e-shop.

Not everyone can afford to spend that amount on their new smartphone, even if the idea of a folding mechanism appeals to them. That's why Xiaomi wants to bring two new, apparently more affordable foldable smartphones in the 3rd quarter of 2021.
We currently don't have more details about these upcoming devices. We expect that new reports related to foldable phones will surface in the future, but you’ll have to wait a little longer for that.
Several types of foldable smartphones come into consideration. It could be a classic foldable smartphone, the so-called V-fold foldable smartphone, or, as Oppo has presented, a sliding foldable smartphone.
