JAKARTA - Huawei has scheduled a product launch event on September 10, just one day after Apple's event. The company announced this news on Weibo, although the official program's poster provided little information about the devices to be introduced.

However, based on a statement from Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Division, most likely the company will introduce their first three-fold phone. Yu stated on Weibo, "After five years of perseverance and investment, we have turned science fiction into reality." He described this upcoming product as "the most innovative and disruptive of the company."

Yu himself has been seen several times in public with a triple phone, and the show's poster also shows a silhouette of a three-fold phone. Therefore, many have speculated that this three-fold Huawei phone will be announced at the event.

Photos of Yu holding Huawei's triple foldable phone show that the phone has a circular camera module on the back and a very slim profile when folded. Another image shows the device when it opens, with a selfie punch-hole camera located at the top of the left side and two folds visible due to the dual hinge design.

Leaks previously mentioned that this phone will have a fold-in design, fold-out, and double hinge design. The screen is estimated to measure about 10 inches when it opens, and this device will be supported by the Kirin 9 series platform.

The launch event on September 10 will be broadcast live starting at 14:30 and may be watched on Huawei's official account on Weibo.
