It’s news that Samsung is actively working on its wide-folding smartphone. Apple is also expected to kick off its foldable lineup with a wide-style foldable device. Huawei, meanwhile, already has a wide-folding phone on the market. And next in line could be Honor, according to a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station.
The tipster claims that a certain manufacturer is currently testing a wide-foldable device powered by a 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series platform.
The device is said to feature a large internal display measuring around 7.6 inches, plus or minus, along with a secondary cover screen of about 5.5 inches, also plus or minus.
After Samsung and Apple, it’s Honor
According to the leak, several “wide-folding” screen designs are currently being refined across the industry. This suggests that more than one company is working on similar form factors, as we mentioned earlier.
The tipster added in the comments that the device will launch in the first half of next year. While the device and brand name remain undisclosed, the hints suggest it could be a device from Honor.
There are also previous claims that support this. In April, industry sources suggested that several Chinese manufacturers were evaluating next-generation foldables with similar screen setups, typically around 7.7 inches for the main display and 5.5 inches for the cover screen. These designs are also expected to use ultra-thin glass (UTG) technology with minimal creasing, improving the overall viewing experience.
Another earlier leak from Digital Chat Station revealed that multiple wide-folding phones could launch this year, including devices from different brands. Among them, the tipster claims, the Huawei Pura X Max will be one of the most affordable options in this category.
