Huawei’s Chairman Ken Hu unveils the details about the first 5G foldable smartphone that is expected to be released by early next year. Hu said that the company is still working out and sparing time to improve the upcoming smartphone. Specifications of the world’s first foldable smartphone are not yet available as of the moment. On the other hand, Huawei also announced last month its new processor – the Kirin 980. The said information was given at the IFA 2018 and it is also proclaimed to be used on the Mate 20 series.



There is also rumors that Samsung will also plan to release the first foldable smartphone later this year. However, Huawei earlier said that it wants to launch the world’s first foldable smartphone, putting pressure on Samsung. Huawei really want to challenge Samsung, it was widely believed that Samsung will claim that title. That may still be the case, as Samsung will unveil some details about its first ever foldable phone in November, during its developer conference.



Huawei is set to launch Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro in London on October 16, 2018. The forthcoming smartphones will be coupled with Kirin 980 and run with Android latest operating system, the Android 9.0 Pie. Huawei teased its own foldable handset at IFA 2018 a few weeks ago, suggesting that a device with a foldable screen could replace computers. Earlier this week, Huawei Chairman Ken Hu said at a panel at the World Economic Forum that the company’s first 5G phone will have a foldable display.
