Huawei is working on a foldable smartphone with 5G support

Huawei has indicated that it wants to market a smartphone that can be folded and can also be used with 5G networks. Huawei had already hinted before that it wanted to release a foldable smartphone.

Richard Yu, who is at the helm of Huawei as the CEO, made this known in an interview with various media, including Digital Trends. He stated that Huawei wants to provide a foldable smartphone with the ability to make 5G connections, but further details were not disclosed. About the release, Yu only wanted to say that there is no commercial product on the shelf yet, so development will probably take some time.

Huawei had previously announced that it is working on a foldable smartphone. Then it seemed that the device could be released as early as next year. Yu didn’t want to confirm that this time. A test model was already made with two screens, but the details are also missing.

Recently, the Chinese manufacturer announced its new top device Mate 20 Pro. The smartphone will be on the market next month and costs almost 1000 euros. The Mate 20 Pro has an in-screen fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition with infrared. There is also a cheaper smartphone that does not have these functions, with the name Mate 20. However, both devices share the Kirin 980-soc.
