Huawei is about to launch a phone that can fold into three
Huawei is about to become the first company in the world to launch a tri-fold phone with dual hinges next month.
Phone models with screens designed to fold into two clamshells and books are no longer strange in the market, but the idea of a smartphone that can fold into three is completely new. Huawei is about to become the first company in the world to launch a tri-fold phone with dual hinges next month. The device was recently spotted in the hands of Huawei CEO Richard Yu - once in an open state and then when folded.
Confirmation of the launch of the new folding screen smartphone model came directly from Richard Yu when he attended the handover ceremony of the company's Stelato S9 electric car model.
Notably, the Stelato S9 is an electric car running on Huawei's HarmonyOS software. On the event stage, when asked about when the new phone model will be officially announced, the CEO answered without hesitation: "Next month" (September). However, the launch plan is almost certainly only for the Chinese market. This device will likely not be officially sold in the international market, but will be an exclusive device only for Chinese users, similar to other recently launched smartphone models from Huawei.
This phone will be the first generation tri-folding phone and according to the image in the Huawei CEO's hand, this could be a high-end product and have a very high price. Prototypes currently cost up to $5,000. The selling price of the commercial version is expected to be lower, but will not be less than 4,000 USD.
Based on previously leaked information, this phone seems to be very thin when folded thanks to the new Silicon - Carbon battery technology, easily compared to many folding screen smartphones currently on the market. Currently, folding phones on the market only allow folding to one side inward or outward.
The name of the device is still a mystery, but leaked information shows that there will be a large camera cluster on the back and a 10-inch screen when opened. Powering the phone will likely be the HiSilicon Kirin 9 series chip, which was previously expected to launch with the Huawei Mate 70 series. With the launch of the world's first tri-fold phone, Huawei will have a huge advantage compared to other competitors like Samsung. It will be interesting to see what TipsMake Huawei has in store for its upcoming unique phone.
