In the ever-changing world of mobile technology, Huawei continues to assert its pioneering position with the launch of the world’s first tri-fold smartphone.
Breakthrough design with dual hinges
Expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024, the device not only represents a technological leap forward but also ushers in a new era for the smartphone industry.
Unlike traditional foldable phones, which only have one hinge and the screen folds to one side, Huawei has made a difference by equipping its tri-fold smartphone with a “fold in + out” design with a unique dual hinge. This design allows the device’s screen to open up into a large 10-inch screen, providing a user experience that is almost like a real tablet. This is not only an innovation in appearance but also a major improvement in functionality, helping users to perform complex tasks more easily.
Powerful performance with cutting-edge technology
Not only does it have a groundbreaking design, Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone is also equipped with the most advanced technologies available today. According to leaked sources, this device will use the latest Kirin 9 series chip, providing outstanding performance and excellent multitasking capabilities. In addition, the device is also integrated with the HarmonyOS NEXT operating system, supporting PC-level applications, creating a powerful and seamless product ecosystem between Huawei devices.
Another highlight of this smartphone is the Silicon-Carbon battery technology, which helps reduce the thickness of the device while still ensuring a large battery capacity, serving well for daily use needs. However, this technology does not yet support fast charging, which may be a minus point for some users.
Challenge with high price
With all these technological innovations, it is no surprise that the expected price of this tri-fold smartphone is up to $ 4,000, much higher than existing double-folding models such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This price may make the product inaccessible to most consumers, especially when Huawei plans to produce only limited quantities and initially distribute only in the Chinese market.
The future of tri-fold smartphones
Although there are still many challenges ahead, especially in terms of price and competitiveness, there is no denying that Huawei has created a revolutionary product in the mobile technology industry. With its groundbreaking design and advanced technology, Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone promises to bring a completely new user experience, and may become the new standard for mobile devices in the future.
Huawei’s continued investment in foldable screen technology and development of advanced products such as tri-fold smartphones not only affirms its leading position but also demonstrates its determination to create breakthrough products, bring high value to consumers and reshape the global mobile market.
