Huawei’s triple-screen folding phone leaked, again

The CEO of Huawei’s consumer group has been photographed using a tri-fold device that puts a 10-inch screen in your pocket.

By Umar Shakir, a news writer fond of the electric vehicle lifestyle and things that plug in via USB-C. He spent over 15 years in IT support before joining The Verge.

Spy photos of a thin triple-folding phone held by consumer group CEO Yu Chengdong have surfaced again. The images were posted by Weibo user Whylab on Thursday, reports Android Authority.

The device looks as if could get as thin as current single-hinged foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 when held like a regular smartphone (of course, there’s still a camera bump). Based on earlier rumors, Android Authority notes the device could unfold to a 10-inch tablet mode that is slightly bigger than other 8-inch foldables and launch as soon as next month.

A picture posted last week of Chengdong using the device unfolded on a plane showed creases in the tablet screen, with a small front-facing camera on the top of the left side.

Tri-fold OLED phones have so far existed mostly as proof of concept devices and sci-fi props, with companies like Xiaomi and TCL showing off prototypes, and foldable leader Samsung sharing the Flex S at CES in 2022.
