HUAWEI is poised to disrupt the foldable phone market once again with rumors pointing towards the imminent release of the world’s first triple-folding phone. This innovative device, leaked by tipster Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, is expected to launch within two months.
However, the report suggests this phone might be a “show muscle” play, prioritizing innovation over immediate market dominance. While the price tag is likely to be high initially, as with most pioneering technology, the cost is expected to decrease as production scales up.
The ambition of this phone extends beyond simply being another foldable. Fixed Focus Digital speculates it could potentially replace both iPads and current foldable phones. Whether this ambition materializes remains to be seen.
Details on the phone’s specifications are scarce, but leaks suggest a total screen size of around 10 inches when unfolded.The design is rumored to be unlike anything seen before, featuring a unique dual-hinge system that creates three distinct screen sections. One section folds inwards on both sides, while another folds outwards. Additionally, reports suggest significant improvements in crease control, a major pain point for current foldable displays.
While specific features remain under wraps, HUAWEI’s commitment to this technology is evident. The company has been diligently pursuing a triple-folding phone for years, with patent filings dating back to 2021. These filings depict a phone remarkably similar to the leaked design, featuring two hinges and an outward-folding flexible screen.
