Lu Weibing: Redmi will not release a foldable phone for the time being
the two foldable screen mobile phones recently launched by Xiaomi not only brought large foldable screen mobile phones to the industry-leading level, but also filled the gap in Xiaomi’s small foldable screen field.
Specifically, the folded thickness of Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 is only 9.47mm, and when unfolded it is even thinner to 4.59mm. It weighs only 226g. Lei Jun even praised its feel as being comparable to that of traditional straight-screen flagship phones, which is incredible.
Another one is Xiaomi’s first small folding screen mobile phone MIX Flip, which weighs only 190g and is equipped with a 4.01-inch ultra-large external screen and is compatible with more than 200 applications.
However, the starting price of 5,999 yuan is not something you can buy casually, and many people expect Redmi to launch a foldable screen mobile phone.
However, for consumers who are looking forward to the launch of foldable screen phones in the Redmi series, Lu Weibing, partner, president, president of the international department, and general manager of the Xiaomi brand of Xiaomi Group, made it clear: “There are no plans at present.”
This suggests that Redmi may not enter the foldable screen market for the time being.
Folding screen technology has higher requirements in screen manufacturing and hinge design, and its cost is still higher than that of traditional straight-screen mobile phones. In this case, it is difficult to ensure a high-quality experience if a folding screen mobile phone is launched at a low price, which may be a major reason why Redmi has not yet planned to launch a folding screen mobile phone.
