Huawei is preparing to make a groundbreaking move in the foldable phone market. Rumors suggest that the Chinese tech giant is about to announce a tri-folding smartphone that could be an ‘iPad killer.’ According to renowned tech leak source Fixed Focus Digital, who posted on Weibo today, the device is expected to be unveiled within the next two months.
Huawei’s tri-folding phone could rival the iPad
Sources close to Huawei indicate that this next-generation tri-folding phone will be a very expensive model and will be produced in limited quantities. Leaks also suggest that Huawei aims to send a strong message to its competitors rather than dominate the market with this device.

As you might recall, tri-folding smartphone technology first appeared in 2021 through Samsung patents that leaked three times. However, the South Korean tech giant eventually decided to focus on the Z Fold and Z Flip series, abandoning the tri-fold concept. If Huawei releases this model, it will be the first in the world to do so.
The source also claims that this tri-fold phone could potentially replace both the iPad and existing foldable phones over time. However, we know that innovative products often come with high price tags initially. If Huawei announces the device this year, it will likely seek ways to make it more affordable in the future.
This new device shows Huawei’s intent to strengthen its position in the foldable phone market and continue its claim as a leader in technological innovation. However, only time will reveal the device’s true potential and market success.
