Huawei is gearing up for a product launch event on September 10, just a day after Apple’s own event. This announcement was made on Weibo, but the event's official poster provides minimal details about the upcoming devices.
Anticipated Tri-Fold Phone
According to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Division, the company is expected to unveil its first tri-fold phone. Yu stated on Weibo, “After five years of persistence and investment, we have turned science fiction into reality.” He described the new product as “the company’s most leading, innovative, and disruptive.”
Yu has been spotted with a tri-fold phone in public on several occasions. The event’s poster also features the silhouette of a tri-folding smartphone, fueling speculation that Huawei will introduce its tri-fold phone at the event.
Design and Features
Photos of Yu with the tri-fold phone show that it will have a circular camera module on the back and a notably slim profile when folded. Another image displays the device in its unfolded state, revealing a centered punch-hole selfie camera on the left side and noticeable creases from the dual-hinge design.
Leaks suggest that the phone will feature inward and outward folding along with a dual-hinge structure. The screen is anticipated to be around 10 inches when unfolded, and the device is expected to run on the Kirin 9 series platform.
Event Details
The live stream for the September 10th event is set to start at 14:30 hours and will probably be available on Huawei’s official Weibo page.
