Huawei is working with BOE to release its new foldable phone
For starter, this is not the first time we’ve heard about Huawei working on a foldable smartphone. The first rumor brought out two months ago when the company registered a device with a flexible display. Today, a Korean news outlet claims that Huawei is collaborating with Chinese display maker BOE to launch this first commercially available foldable handset in November. In details, the handset features an 8-inch flexible display and rival the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 later this year.
On a side note, BOE is also working on four different smartphone designs with another company. Samsung could be one of those clients, but since the Korean giant would probably do its own flexible panels, it’s more likely that either Xiaomi or Oppo is the other. The latter has already filed a patent for its own version of a flexible handset. Other potential partners of BOE are Lenovo and ZTE as they have experience with flexible devices in the past.
In the meantime, let’s check out the specs that we think the Huawei foldable phone is going to have. In details, it might run on the Android 8.1 for the operating system. Under the hood, the smartphone gets power from the Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset! In terms of the display, the Huawei smartphone would sport a capacitive 8-inch touchscreen with the resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. On top of that, the phone is going to have a 4 GB RAM with 128 GB of internal storage which is expandable up to 256 GB. Meanwhile, Huawei foldable phone camera possesses a dual 12 MP + 20 MP system. Besides, it also turns up with the front camera of 24 MP for selfies. In addition, the device from Huawei possibly owns a non-removable Li-Po 3400mAh battery.
