A tri-foldable smartphone that will be just 10 mm thick might be on its way

I mean if anyone can create a tri-fold smartphone that is that much slimmer than Huawei’s, it is likely Honor. The Huawei Mate XT measures 12.8 mm when folded, so an Honor device at just 10 mm is set to be sleeker. However, Honor may not be the only player in the game in crafting ultra-thin tri-foldable phones.Recently, Tecno, another Chinese smartphone maker, unveiled its concept for the tri-fold Phantom Ultimate 2, boasting a slim profile at just 11 mm thick when folded. For a bit of comparison, the newly released Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold measure 12.1 mm and 10.5 mm, respectively, when folded. I think it’s exciting to see how competition in the tri-fold market pushes for thinner designs.

So, while Honor’s tri-foldable device isn’t expected to hit the market just yet, it seems the company is working on it. Xiaomi is also said to be developing its own tri-fold smartphone, and even Samsung is rumored to work on a tri-fold Galaxy phone. With more companies setting their sights on this innovative form factor, especially after Huawei’s successful launch, we’ll likely see a wave of new brands soon jumping into the tri-fold game.
