Another unusual smartphone was patented by Xiaomi: a description of the device was published on the website of China’s National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
As you can see in the patent illustrations, the device is made in a cylindrical body and looks like a smart speaker. It is quite possible that the corresponding functionality will be provided.
As planned by Xiaomi, the gadget will receive a flexible roll-up display that users can pull out of the case to the desired length. A multi-module camera will be located on the outside of the device: a version with two optical blocks and a flash is shown, but the configuration may be different.
At the top is a single control button, at the bottom is an array of small speaker holes. Any connectors are not visible: most likely, the device provides for the use of exclusively wireless means of data exchange and recharging.
Xiaomi does not announce anything about the possibility of a commercial product based on the proposed design. Now the unusual smartphone exists only in patent documents.
