Digital Chat Station’s Weibo post describes an Android manufacturer testing a wide, non-folding “candybar” phone with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Xiaomi is a leading possibility, but the post reportedly does not name the company—and the available reporting does not confirm a product, launch, or full specification sheet. 5

What the leak says about the possible Xiaomi phone
The reported design is a wide, straight-bodied handset rather than a foldable. Coverage links it to a 16:10 or 16:9 display, but those proportions remain rumors rather than confirmed specifications. 4

The Xiaomi attribution rests on clues, not an explicit identification: reports say the emoji in the post points toward Xiaomi, and follow-up comments were interpreted as supporting that reading. The source excerpts do not show the exact emoji or the comments themselves, so their precise wording cannot be verified here. 4

The clearest reported hardware detail is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The available reports do not establish the phone’s screen size, chipset, cameras, price, or release date. 5

Testing is not a launch confirmation
The reports describe a device in testing, not a phone officially announced by Xiaomi or confirmed to be in mass production. No regulatory filing for this particular handset is included in the available reporting, so there is no filing here to corroborate its identity or production status. Xiaomi’s official position and any plans for international availability are likewise not established by these sources. 5

Huawei’s Pura X View shows what the format can look like
Huawei’s Pura X View is a released example of a wide, non-folding phone. Its 6.39-inch OLED display has a 16:9.5 aspect ratio and 2,232 × 1,320 resolution; reporting also lists the Kirin 9030S processor and a starting price of 5,999 yuan.
The comparison offers context for the Xiaomi rumor, not proof of shared specifications. The Pura X View’s format is wider than the proportions commonly associated with conventional phones, while the rumored Xiaomi device’s exact dimensions and hardware remain unknown. 4
A reported sales estimate gives the Pura X View about 755,300 units by the week of October 19–25, 2026. That figure is attributed to market-tracking blogger @RDObservation, not an official Huawei sales disclosure; the same report says official channels had only recently stopped restricting purchases. 21
Other brands are reportedly exploring wide phones
Oppo has also been linked to a rumored wide-screen phone. Leaks describe a 6.35-inch display, an 8,000mAh battery, two 200-megapixel rear cameras, and a Dimensity 9600M processor; these are reported specifications, not confirmed product details.
Huawei may also extend the format to its reported Osta sub-brand: coverage says a proposed Osta phone could have a 6.39-inch, 16:9.5 LTPS display. That, too, remains a leak. 2
For now, the Xiaomi story is a design rumor with limited confirmed detail. The manufacturer has not been named in the reported post, and the available evidence does not establish when—or whether—a wide-screen Xiaomi phone will reach buyers. 5
