Today, when the smartphone market is becoming increasingly saturated, the release of Huawei Mate XT has undoubtedly brought a new vitality to the industry. This triple-fold phone not only shows Huawei's ambition in technological innovation, but also heralds another major breakthrough in the form of smartphones. So, after Huawei, who will become the second manufacturer to achieve mass production of triple-fold mobile phones?
On September 20, Yu Chengdong was interviewed by CCTV News, showing the scientific and technological achievements of Huawei mate XT extraordinary masters. During this period, Yu Chengdong talked about the innovation of technology companies, he said that innovation is difficult, in contrast, plagiarism is very simple. Looking back at the development of the smartphone era over the past two decades, this makes sense. The original pioneer of innovation was undoubtedly Apple. Apple under the leadership of Steve Jobs has always brought consumers madness and surprises again and again, however, after Steve Jobs pass on, Apple's innovation ability quickly showed weakness and even turned into criticism. After a period of dull contention, Huawei's growth and rise have changed the times, and Huawei has finally become a new generation of industry innovation pioneers. When the Huawei Mate 60 returned to the public eye with the satellite call function, consumers once again ignited their enthusiasm and expectations for smart electronic products. However, about half a year after the release of the Huawei Mate 60, those merchants in the same business have launched their own satellite mobile phones, setting off a trend of satellite mobile phones. Back to today, we have reason to believe that the mass production and launch of Huawei's mate XT triple folding phone will also trigger a new round of smartphone evolution. So, today, the editor of China Exportsemi will analyze it with readers and friends, who will be the most likely to become the second manufacturer that can mass-produce three-fold mobile phones? How long is this time?
Judging by the current market dynamics, Honor seems to be the most likely candidate. According to the news, Honor is promoting the research and development of three-fold mobile phones, and the degree of completion is already very high. Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor Terminal Co., Ltd., once revealed on the IFA2024 that Honor's triple-fold mobile phone has already been completed at the technical level, indicating that Honor's first triple-fold mobile phone may not be far from being released and listed. Some industry insiders predict that the Honor triple folding phone may be released from the end of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025.

In addition, Samsung and Xiaomi are also actively promoting the research and development of triple-fold phones. Although Xiaomi is currently taking a wait-and-see attitude towards triple-fold phones, as an important player in the global smartphone market, its technical strength and market influence cannot be ignored. Not long ago, China Exportsemi also reported on Xiaomi's three-fold mobile phone-related technical reserves (Xiaomi Triple Folding Phone Patent is Emerge ) Samsung has deep technical accumulation in the field of folding screen mobile phones, and has also exploded the concept of three folding screen mobile phones. If they decide to follow up with the triple-fold phone, they are also expected to achieve mass production, which is expected to be 12-18 months.
For consumers, the appeal of the triple-fold phone lies in its unique form and multi-functional use scenarios. The Huawei Mate XT Masters has a screen size of 10.2 inches, almost comparable to the iPad mini, offering an unprecedented visual experience and multitasking capabilities. At the same time, the portability of the triple-fold phone in daily use is also well guaranteed.
However, the mass production of triple-fold phones is not an easy task. In addition to the high R&D costs, a series of technical challenges such as screen durability, hinge reliability, and software adaptation need to be solved. The release of Huawei Mate XT has provided valuable experience for the industry and laid the foundation for subsequent manufacturers to follow up.
To sum up, although it is difficult to accurately predict the second manufacturer of mass-produced triple-fold phones, it is certain that with the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual maturity of the market, we can expect to see more brands of triple-fold phones come out in the next few years. This emerging market will be more competitive, but it will also bring more choice and better experiences to consumers.
