The Huawei announcement reveals the arrival of its latest smartphone in the market, a folding device that unfolds into a book-like form factor. This model features the Falcon Wing Hinge, a design that folds completely flat for a seamless profile. It sports a 7.8-inch True-Chroma foldable display and a 50MP camera system aligned with HUAWEI XD optics. With dynamic folding visual effects and an enhanced Intelligent Multi Window function, the user experience stays exceptionally fluid.
Weighing in at 255g, this device sits among the lightest smartphones on the market, even among non-foldable models. The featherweight build is achieved through ultra-light glass fibers used for the backplate and aerospace-grade titanium alloys plus ultra-light high-strength steel in the chassis. These materials cut weight without sacrificing durability, delivering resilience against impacts.
Innovations
The phone introduces Huawei’s new double-turn Falcon Wing Hinge. When activated, the screen lies flat and smooth, delivering a more immersive viewing experience. The redesigned hinge makes the device roughly 70% flatter when opened compared with the prior generation. Built with ultra-light high-strength steel developed by Huawei, the hinge blends strength with lightness to support flexible usage.
The display design draws inspiration from automotive anti-collision systems, offering enhanced cushioning and shock absorption. This approach increases flexibility and overall durability.
Design
The 7.8-inch True-Chroma foldable panel resolves at 2480 x 2200 with an aspect ratio of 8:7.1, delivering an immersive visual experience. It supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and up to 240Hz touch sampling for precise input. An anti-reflective Nano Optical Layer minimizes glare for comfortable reading in bright settings. When opened, the device maintains a comfortable grip comparable to non-foldable phones with a 19:9 ratio.
The body uses 3D fiberglass to achieve refined textures, resulting in a smooth touch and reduced fingerprint smudges. Available in two finishes: black with a crisscross leather texture and white with a natural leather look. A semi-enclosed PU shell matches the color of the phone and doubles as a support leg when needed.
Power & Cooling
The device houses a 4600mAh battery and supports 66W SuperCharge for rapid charging. A graphene-based liquid cooling system helps manage heat for sustained performance.
Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, paired with a stereo sound system and advanced processing features for smooth multitasking and media experiences.
Photography
The True-Chroma camera system features a 50 MP lens developed with Huawei XD Optics, complemented by the True-Chroma XD Fusion Pro image engine, a 10-channel multispectral sensor, and color calibration that preserves detail and clarity in complex lighting. The camera supports a complete P3 color gamut with over 2000 tones, alongside software and hardware tools that optimize results.
A smart mirror shot mode lets users preview captured images in real time on both screens through the digital viewfinder. Next-generation AI Remove allows one-click object removal to simplify edits. Telephoto and wide-angle capabilities enable capturing large or distant subjects in a single shot.
Added Value
On the software side, the device highlights Smart Multi Window for effortless multi-tasking, paired with Split Screen to run two apps side by side. A simple swipe gesture enhances multitasking, making floating windows quick to access and control.
