On May 31, 2019, WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) published a new patent of Huawei entitled as ‘Foldable mobile device’, revealing a new kind of folding type, as the patent was spotted and illustrated by LetsGoDigital.

According to the patent, the display of the device unfolds in a similar manner of Mate X but from both left and right sides, and the center part remains active while the device is folded.

There is a total of three models patent filed by the company, first with widescreen bezels on the head and chin, containing – camera, sensors, and a home button. The second model only has bezels on the head, which includes a camera along with necessary sensors.

The third model is more advanced, and it’s completely bezel-less, its display expands from the front to both left and right and while being folded the display covers the entire rear sides.
