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.

Huawei tri-screen phone: What to expect

The world's first triple-screen dual-folding phone from Huawei is believed to come with two hinges that allow it to fold into a Z-shape for a smartphone form factor. If leaks are to be believed, the phone gets a 10-inch display when unfolded. When folded, it may have two screens of 7.6-inch and 8-inch sizes. The phone is believed to be quite thinner than conventional foldable phones, as it has been spotted with Huawei's Richard Yu on separate occasions.
