World?s first tri-fold foldable phone may debut right after iPhone 16 launch

iPhone 16 launch is right around the corner and as Apple gears up for the Glowtime 2024 event, Huawei is planning to mark a revolution in the smartphone industry. Foldable smartphones are more popular than ever and almost every major smartphone maker now has a foldable phone in its portfolio. Although we have only been able to see the ‘fold' and ‘flip' style phone with single hinge as of now, Huawei has been working on a dual-folding triple-screen foldable phone for quite a long time now. As we approach the iPhone 16 launch event on September 9, Huawei has announced a September 10 launch event where it is expected to unveil the world's first triple-screen dual-folding phone. If the phone turns out to be similar to the renders we saw a couple of years ago, then it may steal the thunder away from iPhone 16 series.
