Huawei is said to be ready to launch the world's first triple-folding screen smartphone.
However, the price of the product will be extremely expensive, even double that of a regular folding screen smartphone.
Foldable screen smartphones are considered the most exciting segment in the mobile market, as companies continuously launch new product models.
The main reason is that the traditional smartphone market is saturated with similar designs and styles.
However, this product line is also following the same butterfly or clamshell folding designs.
Therefore, Huawei is likely to launch the world's first tri-fold screen smartphone, creating a difference from the current product lines.

According to social network account X (formerly Twitter) named Jason Will, who often posts leaked information about Huawei's unreleased products,
the Chinese technology company is expected to launch the world's first triple-folding screen smartphone this year or at the latest early next year.
Huawei seems determined to beat its rivals to launch the first triple-folding smartphone, as there have been rumors that Samsung is also developing a similar product.
Jason Will said that the current cost for the engineering prototype of Huawei's tri-fold smartphone is 35,000 yuan, equivalent to 4,900 USD.

The company is looking to optimize and cut costs to bring the retail price down to 29,000 yuan, equivalent to 4,000 USD.
If this information is correct, Huawei's triple-folding smartphone will be extremely expensive, twice as expensive as current foldable smartphone models on the market.
Leaked sources say that Huawei's tri-fold smartphone will allow the screen to expand to 10 inches, while current dual-fold smartphone models usually only have a size of 7 to 8 inches when expanded.
This smartphone is said to be equipped with a new generation Kirin chip developed by Huawei, bringing stronger performance and energy saving. However, the price of up to 4,000 USD is still too high and not many people are willing to spend such a large amount of money to own a smartphone.
The information from Jason Will appeared after the Chinese social network Weibo shared an image of Huawei Chairman Richard Yu sitting on a plane, holding an electronic device with a large screen size.

At first glance, many people would think this is a tablet, but if you look closely at the folds on the screen, you can see that this is a tri-fold screen smartphone.
This shows that Huawei's tri-fold screen smartphone seems to have reached the final stage of completion, can be used in practice and will likely be introduced soon in the near future.
Huawei has yet to comment on the image of a strange device appearing in the hands of Chairman Richard Yu.
