Huawei Tri-Fold Folding Leaked Reportedly Launch in September

Huawei CEO Richard Yu was spotted showcasing a new category of foldable devices. In a recent leak, the CEO is clearly seen using a Huawei/Honor device. It looks quite slim when unfolded but looks a bit thick on the fold. Despite the blurry spy shots seen in previous reports, the real flex happens when it unfolds as it is not a normal bi-fold type of foldable but a tri-fold type, which means it actually opens up like a tablet. While many have showcased such devices, a tri-folding device still falls into the uber-cool sci-fi category. Now, a report says that the smartphone may launch soon. Let’s take a look at Huawei’s upcoming foldable phone.

According to a report by MyDrivers AccordingHuawei CEO Richard Yu confirmed the upcoming launch of the foldable. The report says that Yu told an executive while taking delivery of its Hongmeng Zhixing EV in Shanghai that the foldable device he has been showcasing for the past few weeks will be introduced in September this year.

This information may come as a bit of a surprise as most smartphone makers are still perfecting their book-style foldables. Meanwhile, Google finally launched its first globally available foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Huawei has been on top of the foldables game lately as it prepares to launch book-style foldables that are slim and compete with regular flagship phones in terms of weight. The upcoming Honor Magic V3 is expected to break most records in terms of slimness and weight.

Talking about the Tri-Fold seen in the CEO’s hands in several blurry spy shots, when folded, it looks a bit thicker than most book-style foldables. However, due to its two hinges, it seems to open into a large tablet-like device. According to previous leaks, this display is said to be as big as 10 inches.

Huawei recently launched its Honor Magic V3 in China which is the slimmest production foldable currently available. If anything, the global version is expected to be very similar with minor changes. The smartphone is just 9.2mm slim when folded and 4.35mm slim when unfolded. It also weighs 226 grams and is slightly heavier than the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, which weighs 221 grams.
