Huawei’s Consumer Business President Jim Xu confirmed in an interview that a Huawei-branded foldable smartphone could be released by 2019.
A recent report from the Nikkei states Huawei wants to introduce a folding phone in early 2019, ahead of its rival Samsung. The story says Huawei is reportedly working with BOE to create a limited small run of foldable handsets. One unnamed analyst in the story says Huawei will release 20,000 to 30,000 of the phones in an effort to attract industry and media attention as the first foldable handset manufacturer.
