Huawei's Tri-fold Smartphone To Have A 10-inch Display: Leak

Huawei's triple-screen foldable smartphone has been seen in new pictures, revealing a strikingly thin profile despite its sophisticated tri-fold mechanism. The latest photographs, released by the WHYLAB Weibo account, show Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Group, holding the device in its folded state.

The photographs, which have garnered momentum online, highlight the device's thinness, debunking the common belief that foldable phones with twin hinges must be big. The tri-fold design appears to elevate foldable technology to a new degree of complexity, with the potential to set a new industry standard.

According to Android Authority, the device is expected to have a 10-inch display when fully unfolded, a significant improvement over the 7.6 to 8-inch screens found in current foldables. This larger screen size might position Huawei's new smartphone as a potential alternative to small tablets, giving customers more adaptability. Despite its design, the smartphone confronts some obstacles. The dual-hinge technology could result in two noticeable display creases, and the complicated design could increase production costs.

As per  industry insiders, Huawei could showcase this smartphone as early as next month, before releasing the Mate 70 series later this year. If these forecasts are correct, it might be a huge development in foldable technology, potentially influencing the design direction of future competitors. The leaked photographs also show a noticeable camera bump, indicating that Huawei is still devoted to improving photography capabilities, even in this experimental smartphone.
