The Mi Mix Fold's 'hidden' Android desktop mode
(All About Windows Phone)

YouTube blogger Ben has the new Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold... plus an extra feature that`s not supposed to be out yet. For some reason, Xiaomi`s built-in desktop mode can be activated on his device (though not on most other consumer ROMs for this folding phone/tablet). It`s captured on video above - and I`m torn about the usefulness on such a small screen. Yes, it`s supremely cool, but then so are traditional tablet multi-window systems, which use the space more efficiently. The crux will come if this can be plugged into a monitor, keyboard and mouse, Continuum/DeX style, at which point we have yet another major Android manufacturer having a desktop-enabled UI for their smartphone.
