It is claimed that the triple-fold smartphone developed by Chinese technology giant Huawei was seen in the hand of a senior company executive. This development is considered part of Huawei’s efforts to increase its competitiveness in the foldable phone market.

In July, it was revealed that Huawei was working on a triple-foldable smartphone. This move was thought to provide the company with an advantage, particularly against competitors such as Samsung and Xiaomi.

According to the news of Android Headlines, the device in question was seen in the hands of Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu. The device is said to have a large screen that can fold three times.

A source named Digital Chat Station, who shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, suggested that the device resembled a research and development prototype they had seen before. According to the source, the smartphone has a 10-inch inner screen and the hole cut for the front camera is located on the leftmost screen.

Despite its triple-fold design, the device is estimated to have an “average” thickness. It is thought that the phone could operate with one of the Kirin 70 series processors that Huawei recently introduced, and this processor could also be used in the future Mate 9 series.

This development shows that Huawei has taken a significant step in foldable phone technology. However, the company has not yet made an official statement on this matter. The technology world is eagerly awaiting when and how Huawei will market this innovative device.
