Xiaomi patents dual-screen smartphones with wraparound displays

Xiaomi recently demoed 144Hz refresh rate mode for the Redmi K30 5G, and the Chinese smartphone brand isn’t done with display technology. A new patent was recently published by the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) for two new Xiaomi handsets.

The patent published by the WIPO includes two devices, both dual-sided smartphones with wrap-around screens. The first patent entails a wrap-around screen similar to what we saw with Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Alpha Concept phone. This could hint to a foldable smartphone as the patent shows only one side that wraps around, unlike the Mi Mix Alpha’s display that wraps around both vertical edges. The layout bears a stark resemblance to that of Huawei’s Mate X when it is folded closed.

LetsGoDigital has created mockup renders of the patented devices. The second smartphone has a display that wraps around in a different direction. The back has a punch-hole cut-out for a dual-camera setup. According to the image, both the devices didn’t have dedicated front cameras as the main cameras double as a selfie camera since the devices are virtually all screen.
