A fresh rumor suggests that Huawei is looking for ways to cut costs on its tri-fold smartphone. Currently, the engineering prototype is said to cost over 35,000 RMB – nearly $5,000 when directly converted. Meanwhile, the retail price for the final, mass-produced version is expected to be around 29,000 RMB, which is roughly $4,000.
If not, this price point will be significantly higher than that of many competitors in the consumer market. If this tri-fold really hits the shelves at that price, it could end up costing twice as much as The steep price could also be due to factors like a new hinge design, supply chain hiccups, or the slow production of high-end Kirin chips. However, these are just rumors for now, so it is best to wait for official details on Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone.
