We’re expecting to see theGoogle Pixel 9 Pro Foldat this week’sGoogleevent, but it seems that double-screened folding phones are already old hat: the first tri-fold foldable phone has been spotted in the wild, and it appears to be aHuawei.

What we know about the Huawei tri-fold phone

According to tipsterDigital Chat Station, the phone in the photo is either the same as, or a very close relation of, an R&D prototype that the tipster has already seen. It’s believed to have a display area of around ten inches and a Kirin 9-series processor. The OS is believed to be HarmonyOS Next, a new version of Huawei’s mobile OS.

The tri-fold phone was previously rumoured for a launch before that of the Huawei Mate 70, most likely this June, but of course it isn’t June any more and the phone hasn’t launched. However there’s still time for the prediction to come true, as the Mate 70 hasn’t launched yet either.

Digital Chat Station has previously said that an unnamed manufacturer’s 10-inch tri-fold phone was scheduled for production and both its specification and price “are going to hit new highs”. That makes it seem awfully likely that Huawei will beatSamsungto the tri-fold punch, at least in China – but it might not be a global foldable. Huawei is still banned from selling phones in the US, no matter how many folds they have.
