Xiaomi: the earphone case is the smartphone itself!
The Chinese company has accustomed us to strange, innovative form factors in the Mi Mix family, but not so original we had never seen. Not even from other manufacturers.
We are used to the S Pen contained in the Galaxy Note and to the hidden pop-up front camera that comes out when necessary. But to wireless earphones whose case is the smartphone itself never!
The patent dates from July 24, 2020 and illustrates how both can come out of the body of the phone with a simple touch. In this way you can raise them just enough to extract them. When inside the device, the earphones are recharged using the battery of the smartphone.
Both are also capable of folding the head and going in two directions, the one at rest will make them stay in the smartphone while the other to place them in the ears. We have no idea what smartphone can be the one shown in the picture but we are inclined to think it's just a model put there just to explain how the mechanism works.
But, as usual, it's not all that glitters now . The use of this design is limiting for the impermeability of the device and obviously the main battery becomes the one that recharges the earphones, ergo, it will last less by force of things.
In short, whether the patent becomes effective that it is discarded, it is very important to always create new ideas and surely there is no lack of fantasy in Xiaomi.
