Huawei's Triple-Foldable Phone to Compete with iPhone 16: A Tech Feast Begins September 10th

September 10th will be a grand celebration for the tech world. Huawei Terminal has officially announced a Huawei "See the Unseen" brand event and HarmonyOS Zhixing (Smart Travel) new product launch at 2:30 PM on that day. Simultaneously, Apple will be holding its annual Apple Special Event, formally launching the highly anticipated iPhone 16 series. These two launches will be competing on the same stage, injecting new vitality into the smartphone market.

Huawei has not yet divulged specific details about its new products, but the long-rumored Huawei triple-foldable phone is expected to make its debut at this event. Richard Yu, Huawei's Executive Director, CEO of Consumer BG, and Chairman of the Smart Car Solutions BU, has teased the launch: "Huawei's most leading-edge, innovative, and disruptive product is coming! This is a ground-breaking product that others have thought of but couldn't do. Five years of persistence and investment, we have turned science fiction into reality. Huawei's pinnacle masterpiece, stay tuned!"

This means that Huawei's first triple-foldable phone will be launched concurrently with the new iPhone series, a direct competition. Based on existing leaks, this triple-foldable phone will be positioned in the ultra-high-end market with a price tag expected to surpass Huawei's existing foldable devices. Referring to the starting price of the Huawei MateX5 series at 12,999 yuan, this new phone might become the price ceiling in Huawei's phone product line.

Although the positioning and pricing will overlap with the iPhone 16 series, the differences in phone form factors will result in distinct target audiences for each product, and a fiercely competitive scenario is not expected.

However, the new phones launched on the same day are not completely comparable. The Huawei Mate70 series, due to launch in the fourth quarter of this year, will be a true competitor to the Apple iPhone 16 series. It remains to be seen whether Huawei will offer a preview of the new Mate70 series at this launch event.

Shifting our focus back to the upcoming Huawei triple-foldable phone, Richard Yu has been spotted multiple times with the new phone in recent months. Circulating photos show that the device is slightly thicker than regular straight-screen phones but still maintains a well-controlled overall thickness. Previously leaked photos of the device in unfolded form indicate a size close to a tablet. The left side of the screen displays a message list, while the middle and right sides seem to display other split-screen browsing content. It is speculated that the phone offers a brand new design and planning for split-screen operations.

Apart from the new triple-foldable phone, the event will also unveil new HarmonyOS Zhixing products. Current information suggests that Huawei will be releasing the AITO M9 five-seater version and the JiJie R7 car.

Overall, although Huawei's new Mate series flagship will be released at a later date, the upcoming triple-foldable phone is still attracting significant attention. At the same time, the new iPhone 16 series will be launched on the same day. This will undoubtedly create excitement in the smartphone market. Enthusiasts can stay tuned and eagerly await this tech feast.
