Huawei tri-fold expensive

Huawei tri-fold is already in rumors to be an expensive model but a new input says that the device could cost over $4000. This is far more than many of its rivals in the consumer market. Although the tech giant is constantly looking for solutions.

X tipster @jasonwill states the Huawei tri-fold prototype costs more than 35000 yuan. The device is in its early stage and there aren’t signs of it entering mass production.

Perhaps Huawei is trying to solve the cost issue of the new foldable phone before the large-scale manufacturing. However, it seems a difficult task for the moment.

The tipster further notes that despite several changes, the original Huawei tri-fold phone will likely be two times more expensive than its rivals like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It probably cost 29000 yuan ($4000) and will be the highest-priced product.

Note that a prototype is an early version of a product. The OEMs develop future devices with better features and improvements, based on this trial model. These are built to test all the major aspects of the device before releasing it on the market.

Prototype models often cost more than the original handsets. Over time, the companies make changes in these trial variants and make them better. Huawei is also working on new solutions that can lead to price reductions of its tri-fold.

The reasons behind the cost increase could be new hinge design, supply chain issues, or slow production of high-end Kirin chips. But these points currently lie in the rumor section. Hence, it’s better to wait for the official details on this tri-foldable subject.

A recent leak says that Huawei could launch its tri-fold phone next month. The device seemingly stepped into the trial production lane and will soon begin mass production.

On the other hand, the device also appeared in Yu Chengdong’s hands recently, implying that its launch is inching closer. Thus, the price details, key features, and other parameters of the new tri-folding smartphone may be clear in the upcoming weeks.
