A new Xiaomi device carrying the model number 2608BPX34C recently appeared in the GSMA database, which immediately triggered speculation about whether the company is preparing its first trifoldable phone. Since the listing did not reveal the final moniker of the device, there’s no clarity whether it will really end up as the company’s first trifoldable.

Xiaomi 2608BPX34C may not be a trifoldable phone

Mydrivers claims that, according to Digital Chat Station, the circulating claims about Xiaomi working on a trifoldable phone are inaccurate. The outlet states that the tipster described the online chatter as misleading and said that there is no trifold project currently in active planning. However, at the time of writing this post, we could not locate the original Weibo post where he reportedly made these remarks.

What is confirmed, though, is Xiaomi’s past exploration of multi-fold designs through patents. One previously granted patent describes a Z-shaped folding structure with a horizontal rear camera setup and a size comparable to a tablet when fully opened, indicating conceptual research rather than a product nearing launch.

Xiaomi also did not introduce a book-style foldable phone this year, despite expectations surrounding what many assumed would be the Mix Fold 5. With limited information about the final identity of the 2608BPX34C model, it is unclear whether this listing represents a traditional book-style foldable or another type of device. As per reports, Xiaomi plans to launch a book-style foldable in 2026.

For now, there is no verified evidence pointing to a trifoldable phone entering production, even though patents continue to reference such form factors.
