We've already seen foldables from all major companies by now, except Apple, but now Huawei is releasing a trifold device on september 10th, along with their new smartwatch and other devices. This phone will supposedly be pretty long, think of it as a foldable that folds a third time. It's like three screens folding instead of the 2 screens that we have right now.
Here's a leaked image of the phone:
As you can see, its like three stacked screen in one phone. The durability of this phone would be a question many will be careful of, because this phone will cost a whopping $2500-$3000. But regardless, it's a great test in the smartphone world which has become somewhat stagnant in the last 3 years.
After this announcement by Huawei, there are leaks of other brands testing a similar tri-fold device. Undoubtedly, the cost will increase greatly because there is not only an additional screen but also an additional hinge which can be quite complicated and expensive for the manufacturer. Expect all of these phones to cost upwards of $2500, but with more space for components, so bigger batteries and better camera sensors are to be expected.
