New photo of Huawei’s triple-layered smartphone ‘leaked’

An executive from Chinese manufacturer Huawei has once again been photographed sporting the brand’s bold launch: a smartphone that folds rather than splits in two. It has an extra hinge and is made up of three “pieces”.

The photo, published on Chinese social network Weibo, shows the CEO of Huawei’s consumer business division. Richard YuUnlike the previous leak, where the device was turned on and in use during a plane ride, here completely enclosed and in a traditional mobile phone format.

Although it consists of more than one section of the screen, It seems a little thicker compared to other foldable devices. Also, a rear camera in a circular moduleAs seen in other devices of the brand.

However, since the photo itself doesn’t have such a good resolution, it’s not possible to extract more information about the device. The company itself has yet to confirm the specifications or even the existence of the model.

Will there be a triple whammy?

Since this is the second time Yu has been seen using the device in public, there are suspicions that the company was already planning to announce the device and so these “dots” are not coincidental.

However, recent speculation suggests that the model could have an “astronomical” price, particularly due to its difficult production. The value would be around $5,000 (about R$27,000 in direct currency conversion), although the brand would be willing to reduce this cost at the moment.

The expectation is: Huawei We will introduce the device as early as September this yearAt a conference whose date has not yet been announced. So far, other manufacturers such as TCL have revealed prototypes in this format, but it seems that the Chinese brand has been chosen to inaugurate this segment.
