Huawei's Tri-Fold Phone Is a Hot Topic, Exciting Users Because of Its Mysterious Design
Foldable phones are starting to gain traction with mainstream consumers, and smartphone giant Huawei is reportedly looking to expand its efforts into a similar new product line.
The Chinese tech giant is rumored to be developing a triple-folding phone, which could launch in the second quarter of 2024.
Multiple sources, including Taiwan's TechNews, said Huawei has begun large-scale procurement of materials and components to focus on this super product project.
The triple-folding phone is expected to feature a Z- or S-shaped folding design, but its screen size will remain similar to other conventional foldable phones, at around 6.4 inches.
BOE is said to be the panel supplier for Huawei's new tri-fold phone, while companies like Zhaoli and Fusda are said to be involved in manufacturing hinges for the device.
Huawei has been working on triple-folding display technology for some time now. Reports suggest that the company began filing patents for the technology as early as 2021, with additional filings in March and July 2022. Industry insider Ross Young previously suggested that Huawei's triple-folding phone could be released by the end of 2023, but it appears that there has been a real delay. But if we look at the latest report, the technology may now be mature enough to make it to market.
Huawei’s development of its triple-folding phone coincides with an expected surge in demand for foldable phones. While shipments fell short of expectations in 2023 (15.7 million units), analysts predict a 12.3% year-over-year increase to 17.7 million units in 2024.
The Associated Press has even confirmed Huawei's collaboration with suppliers for the tri-fold device, suggesting it's close to mass production. While specific details remain under wraps, Huawei's entry into the tri-fold market is certainly exciting news for foldable phone enthusiasts.
