Competing with Huawei! Honor’s first triple-folding screen is exposed

 Huawei is about to release a three-fold screen in September. Yu Chengdong has exposed this new phone many times in public. This is also the first mass production release of this form factor.

Blogger Guan hinted that not only Huawei, but Honor is also planning a three-fold screen model, which means that the three-fold screen will not be dominated by one company, and brands such as Samsung and Honor will follow suit.

Previously, Honor CEO Zhao Ming stated that Honor has completed the technical aspects of the three-fold screen, and the timing of commercialization will be determined based on consumer demand. For us, the three-fold is not a technical issue, but a business choice issue.

He also revealed that Honor has plans for many technologies such as tri-fold and scroll, but the time has not come to announce them yet.

It is not difficult to see from Zhao Ming’s words that the relevant technologies of Honor’s three-fold screen have already met the conditions for mass production and commercial use, and the specific release time depends on market response.

As we all know, there are two forms of foldable phones on the market: large foldable and small foldable. The large foldable one has attracted more attention. According to data from Counterpoint Research, in the first quarter of 2024, shipments of foldable screen mobile phones increased by 48% year-on-year, of which shipments of large foldable models increased by 91% year-on-year.

Compared with small folding models, large folding models have larger screens and richer usage scenarios. Consumers prefer this form, resulting in a significant increase in its shipments.

It can be foreseen that the scenario advantages of the triple-fold screen will be further expanded, which is worth looking forward to.
