Xiaomi appears to be exploring new display proportions within the traditional slab form factor, with reports indicating that the company is developing a wide-screen candybar smartphone.

While the majority of current smartphones feature tall, narrow aspect ratios aimed at one-handed usability and vertical scrolling, a wider screen could offer a refreshed media viewing and typing experience. Such a design could cater to users who prefer more horizontal screen space without moving to a foldable device.

Hardware specifications, naming, and launch timelines have not yet been confirmed, and development plans can shift as the device progresses toward production.
