Overview
- Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has posted that Xiaomi is testing a wide, non‑folding candybar prototype with a side‑mounted fingerprint sensor and a roughly 16:9–16:10 display, and outlets are reporting the claim as unconfirmed.
- The report follows recent interest in the form started by Huawei’s Pura X View and matches other tips that OPPO, Doogee and Coolpad are exploring wider slab designs.
- Key technical details such as the chipset, camera setup, battery size and price for the Xiaomi prototype remain unknown and await regulatory filings or an official announcement.
- A wider aspect ratio changes real use by giving more horizontal space for video playback, landscape gaming and true side‑by‑side apps, and it can make on‑screen keyboards feel less cramped.
- Next milestones to watch are certification filings, component leaks like the processor or sensors, and any official reveal that would confirm whether the wider design will reach global markets.
