Huawei has confirmed it will unveil its tri-folding smartphone in China on September 10, the next day Apple plans to show off its next generation of iPhones.

It is an open secret that Huawei wants to launch the world's first (or second, if you count Tecno) tri-folding smartphone. Multiple real-world images of the phone have been leaked, likely on purpose, to build up hype. Now, the company has just confirmed a launch date.

The phone will be shown off via an event in China on September 9 (14:30 local time). Incidentally, this is the same time Apple plans to unveil the iPhone 16 lineup. Huawei's timing doesn't seem to be a coincidence and is is clear the company wants to steal some of Apple's thunder, at least in the domestic market.

Unfortunately, the innards of Huawei's first tri-fold phone have been a closely guarded secret. Its camera modules are standard Huawei fare, complete with a circular design and a noticeably thick housing. Under the hood, one can expect it to run a Kirin chip, likely the Kirin 9010 or a sub-variants. Alternatively, it could also show off the supposedly 5 nm Kirin 9100 that is said to perform on par with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
