Huawei’s rumored tri-fold smartphone, which has been a topic of much speculation, was recently seen in the possession of a top Huawei official, raising excitement about its potential launch. Reports suggest that this new device, believed to be powered by a Kirin 9 series processor, could be the company’s latest innovation in the foldable smartphone market.
Huawei, known for its cutting-edge technology, has been working on a tri-fold smartphone that could provide a significant edge in the foldable phone segment, competing with giants like Samsung and Xiaomi. A recent sighting of this device in the hands of Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, has sparked further interest. The smartphone is rumored to feature a large 10-inch inner display, which can fold in three sections, offering a unique user experience.
A trusted source on Weibo, Digital Chat Station, hinted that the device resembles a prototype that was previously seen during Huawei’s research and development phase. The smartphone is expected to have a relatively slim design, even with its tri-fold mechanism. The Kirin 9 series processor, which may also power the upcoming Huawei Mate 70 series, is speculated to be the powerhouse behind this innovative device.
In July, well-known tech informant Ice Universe suggested via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Huawei might be the first to release a tri-fold smartphone. With Samsung still grappling with making their foldable devices thinner, Huawei’s new offering could set them apart in the market for some time.
