With time, as production of the device increases and the technology matures, the price of future generations of tri-folding handsets can be expected to decrease, the Weibo post states.

A previous leak suggested that Huawei's triple-folding phone could sport a 10-inch display. The handset is expected to be equipped with a dual-hinge system, which would offer three separate screen sections. One of the rumoured sections is said to fold inwards on both sides, while another is said to fold outwards. The Huawei tri-folding smartphone has also been tipped to get improved crease control.
