The Era of Tri-Foldable Screens is Coming: Xiaomi, Huawei, and Honor are Competing

Fast Technology, August 27, news - Weibo blogger Wisdom Pikachu revealed that Xiaomi is now testing a tri-foldable screen phone. Combined with previous leaks, it seems like the era of tri-foldable screens is about to arrive. Previously, Huawei and Honor both hinted at their tri-foldable screen phones. Huawei CEO Yu Chengdong implied that "the tri-foldable screen will debut in September", while Honor CEO Zhao Ming stated that "Honor has technical layouts for tri-foldable and rollable screens, but whether they will be launched depends on consumer demand."

Compared to traditional dual-foldable screens, the tri-foldable screen combines both outward and inward folding techniques, resulting in a more compact overall structure. This will be the mainstream tri-foldable screen solution in the future. This new phone form factor will expand the usage scenario of phones, and when fully unfolded, it can even rival tablet computers, meeting the needs of some office work, entertainment, and other requirements.

Of course, compared to the existing large-foldable and small-foldable screens, the latest tri-foldable screen technology faces greater challenges. Analysts indicate that tri-foldable phones require larger flexible screens and consistent display effects and durability at multiple folding points. There are still many challenges in the technology of high-difficulty components such as screens and hinges. However, with the continuous advancement of material science, engineering technology, and production processes, these challenges will be gradually overcome.

In the view of industry insiders, tri-foldable screen phones are still in the stage of manufacturers "showing off their muscles." The target users for tri-foldable screens may be tech enthusiasts who are curious about new technologies and new forms of devices, willing to try and experience the latest technological achievements; business professionals and creative workers who pursue larger screen space, etc.
