Huawei’s triple-screen smartphone may have leaked again
Huawei’s alleged triple-folding smartphone has been spotted in the hands of a top official yet again, weeks after it was first glimpsed on social media, according to a report. This time around, the leaked image showcases its various design elements such as the camera module, form factor and hands-on appearance. The alleged triple-folding smartphone is speculated to be the first-ever mass-market device to feature triple-folding displays. Notably, it was recently reported that apart from the unique design, it could come with a significantly higher price tag than other foldable smartphones in the market.
Huawei Tri-Fold Smartphone Spotted Again
According to pictures published According to Chinese tech publication CNBeta, Huawei’s triple-foldable smartphone has once again been spotted in public in the hands of Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group. The device is believed to feature a circular camera module with a ring-like design on the back. It is speculated to be placed at the center, similar to other foldable smartphones such as the OnePlus Open and the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro.
Based on the leaked images, black could be one of the likely colors of the smartphone as it was spotted in both hands of a Huawei official with the same color scheme. Despite being a tri-foldable handset, it appears to sport a moderately thin form factor. The left and right backs have a glossy appearance, suggesting metal to be the material used for the frame.
Huawei Tri-Fold Smartphone Specifications (Expected)
Huawei’s alleged smartphone is speculated to feature three displays, with two of them folding inwards and the other outwards. It is said to feature a 10-inch inner display, with the cutout for the front-facing camera on the leftmost display. The foldable displays are said to use a dual-hinge system with three separate sections.
Another report suggests that it could be powered by a Kirin 9-series chipset, with the Kirin 9010 touted as one of the most likely options. Notably, the same processor is also being powered by the upcoming Huawei Mate 70 series.
