Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold may launch in India soon as foldable smartphone spotted on IMEI database

Xiaomi is likely to introduce its first-ever foldable smartphone Mi Mix Fold to its international markets soon, as the device has now been spotted on the global IMEI database.

Xiaomi launched its first-ever foldable smartphone last month to compete with the likes of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Huawei Mate X2. Called the Mi Mix Fold, the Xiaomi device is exclusive to China to date, but a new update indicates it might be on its way to the international markets, including India. The smartphone has reportedly been spotted on the global and Indian IMEI databases. The information comes through a tweet by noted tipster Mukul Sharma. As per the tweet, the Mi Mix Fold has been listed with model number M2011J18G on the global IMEI database. The G on the model number indicates the global version of the phone. The tipster claims that this hints at the phone's launch outside of China in due time. He further adds that the device was also spotted on the Indian IMEI database. He clears, though, that it does not guarantee the launch in India.
