Lets Review It 4 u
Huawei
Mate
XT
Ultimate
Design
was
launched
last
week
in
China
as
the
world’s
first
tri-fold
smartphone,
a
day
after
Apple
unveiled
the
iPhone
16
series
on
September
9.
Samsung
has
shown
off
multiple
designs
over
the
past
few
years,
although
a
commercial
model
is
yet
to
be
launched,
while
rivals
Xiaomi,
Tecno,
and
Honor
are
also
expected
to
introduce
their
own
triple-folding
phones.
A
tipster
has
now
shared
details
about
Honor’s
upcoming
foldable
phone,
claiming
that
it
will
be
thinner
(when
folded)
than
Huawei’s
latest
handset.
According
to
details
shared
by
user
Teme
in
a
post
on
X
(formerly
Twitter),
Honor
is
working
on
a
tri-fold
smartphone
that
will
have
a
thickness
of
1cm
when
it
is
folded.
This
is
higher
than
the
company’s
Magic
V3
smartphone
that
was
launched
earlier
this
year
and
measures
9.2mm
when
folded,
but
it’s
worth
noting
that
Honor’s
purported
handset
will
be
a
tri-fold
phone
with
two
hinges
and
not
a
book-style
foldable.

If
this
claim
is
accurate,
the
rumoured
triple-folding
phone
from
Honor
could
measure
around
10mm
when
folded
shut
—
a
figure
that
is
slightly
lower
than
the
12.8-inch
thickness
of
the Huawei
Mate
XT
Ultimate
Design
that
will
go
on
sale
in
China
on
September
20.
While
other
details
of
Honor’s
purported
tri-fold
handset
are
scarce.
the
company’s
CEO
reportedly
confirmed
the
development
of
such
a
next-generation
foldable
phone
that
would
compete
with
Huawei’s
offering.
Chinese
smartphone
makers
such
as
Honor
and
Xiaomi
might
be
focused
on
developing
a
tri-fold
phone,
but
Samsung
appears
to
be
working
on
another
design.
According
to
a
recent
report,
the
South
Korean
tech
conglomerate
is developing
a
phone
with
a
rollable
screen
that
can
be
expanded
to
a
12.4-inch
display.
We
can
expect
more
details
about
these
purported
foldable
phones
in
the
coming
months.
