Huawei has recently been preparing for the mass production of a new triple-folding smartphone,The Ages of Lulu (1990) with an expected launch as early as the second quarter of this year. As the hinge is a key component in foldable phones, reports suggest that Huawei has expanded its hinge orders from the Taiwanese manufacturers Jarllytec and Fositek. The Chinese panel maker BOE is expected to supply the screen for the triple-folding phone, which may adopt a Z-shaped design with a folded screen size of approximately 6.4 inches. Differing from current foldables using a 16:9 or 18:9 design, Huawei’s upcoming triple-folding smartphone might feature a 28:9 or 18:9 design, providing users with an innovative transformation from phone to tablet.
