This device is still at the prototype stage and it may take some time for the actual stuff to touch down. However, we can observe that after folding the smartphone on both axes, the back display does not go off instantly. Nobody would need an active display that is not in use thus this is a problem that Xiaomi need to sort out.

As of now, the company does not have a name for this smartphone and it is asking netizens to suggest a name. Since MWC2019 us scheduled to hold between 23rd and 26th February, it is possible that we will hear more about this device there.
