- Recently there have been rumors of a tri-foldable phone is in the works, with many suggesting Huawei was behind the rumored device.
- A new image of Richard Yu all but confirms this, showing off the tri-foldable.
- Industry source Digital Chat Station says this model is entering production soon and will beat the Mate 70 to launch, with the Kirin 9 series chip in tow.
Back in July, we reported on rumors Huawei might be working on an innovative three-screen foldable, potentially beating Samsung and others to the punch. More recently, the same industry source from before, known as Digital Chat Station on Weibo, has alleged the first tri-folding phone is about to enter production. Right on schedule, it seems we’ve now gotten our first look at the device in the wild.
Previously it was unclear if it was Huawei or another company behind this new foldable, but a new image circulating the web shows former Huawei CEO Yu Richard using such a device onboard a plane. The photo reveals a phone that has a centered punch hole for the selfie camera on the left side and two visible creases. The creases aren’t surprising, as it will also feature two hinges, unlike typical foldable phones.
