Honor seems to be aiming to launch a tri-fold smartphone that is only 10mm thick and becomes the thinnest product in this segment.
This information comes from Teme, a tipster on X. Although details about the product have not been given, if the information is correct, it will be a product that challenges the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design, the world's first tri-fold smartphone to be sold on the market by Huawei - the former owner of Honor .
Mate XT impresses with its tri-fold design.
The phone was launched in China, but judging by Huawei's teasers through global channels, it could be on its way to more markets. The phone is 12.8mm thick when folded - quite an achievement considering it's slightly thicker than the Galaxy Z Fold6 - a regular foldable phone.
With that in mind, creating a 10mm-thick tri-fold smartphone seems like an impossible task, since 12.8mm is already a huge feat of engineering. Maybe a 10mm-thin tri-fold smartphone will happen someday, but we can’t imagine it being “coming soon.”
However, Honor is proving to be a leader in conventional foldable smartphone design. The recently announced Magic V3 is the world's thinnest and lightest book-style foldable smartphone.
After Magic V3, Honor is proving that nothing is impossible.
If anyone can make a tri-fold smartphone thinner than the Mate XT, it’s Honor. Reaching 10mm might be a challenge, as the Magic V3 itself is an incredible 9.2mm thick. But remember, it’s just a regular foldable smartphone.
When it comes to the Mate XT, many people have felt that this smartphone is quite heavy with a weight of 298 grams. Therefore, experts hope that Honor will cut down on the weight on its future products, which will be great.
