A few months ago, we heard Huawei was working on a tri-folding device<\/a>. There’s no word yet from Huawei about it, but the company’s former CEO<\/a> Richard Yu, currently serving as the Chairman of Huawei’s Board of Directors of the Consumer BG<\/a>, was spotted using one.<\/p>\n The image below shows Huawei’s tri-folding device with a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera on the left. The device also has two creases because of two hinges instead of one we see on regular folding smartphones such as the Huawei Mate X5<\/a>, vivo X Fold3 Pro<\/a>, and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tipster Digital Chat Station<\/i> said the device Yu is seen with looks similar to the R&D prototype they saw before. Its screen is expected to measure about 10″, and the device is said to have a Kirin 9-series chip at the helm.<\/p>\n DCS<\/i> also said this tri-folding device would go official before Mate 70. There were rumors it would arrive before the end of June, but that didn’t happen. The Mate 70 is rumored to launch in China in mid-to-late Q4 this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source 1<\/a>, Source 2<\/a> (both in Chinese<\/i>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Huawei](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/huawei-tri-folding-smartphone-spotted\/inline\/-600\/gsmarena_001.jpg\")
