Xiaomi flip phone to come with folding display and flip cameras, slimmer bezels

Xiaomi already applied for a patent of a folding device back in 2018 and it has just been approved. The device is similar to the Motorola Razr with a flip phone form factor but Xiaomi has added its own twist to the design. When unfolded, the device looks similar to any other modern-day phone with thin bezels. However, the device has a hinge at the centre and it folds the phone in half, with display shutting flat- possibly with no gap at all. That sounds similar to the new Motorola Razr but as usual, there's some twist that Xiaomi has added.
The twist seems inspired from Asus' implementation of a Flip Camera module that we have seen previously on the Asus 6z. The device has a flip camera system holding three different cameras and possibly a small display that shows basic notifications icons on top. When folded, the flip camera module acts as a small secondary display. But when unfolded, it hides the camera at the back and flips open only when you need to take selfies.
