HUAWEI's Triple-Folding Phone Rumored to Come with a Hefty Price Tag
HUAWEI may be the first manufacturer to release a folding smartphone with not one, but two hinges—a prototype was recently spotted in the hands of a company executive. But for those already saving up for this innovative device, insiders recommend bracing for a potentially astronomical price tag.
According to tech blogger jasonwill101 on X (formerly Twitter), the engineering sample of HUAWEI's triple-folding phone is estimated to cost a whopping 35,000 yuan, or about $4,890 USD. While the retail version is expected to be slightly cheaper, don't expect a bargain—rumors suggest a price tag around $4,050. This high cost could be partly attributed to limited production numbers. However, HUAWEI has yet to officially confirm any details about the phone's release or pricing.
Current rumors indicate that the device will be powered by HUAWEI's own Kirin 9010 processor, the same chipset found in the HUAWEI Pura 70 series of camera phones. Beyond that, detailed specs and a potential release date for this unique folding smartphone remain shrouded in mystery.
