Huawei will debut foldable mobile in 2019 to replace the PC

[- !el Catire *O*]

 

The CEO of Huawei, Richard Yu, today made some surprising statements to the German media Die Welt, which states that Huawei will present in 2019 a folding mobile that will replace the PC.

Richard Yu says they are developing a mobile phone with a folding screen that when deployed has a similar size to the screen of a PC. We assume that it refers to a laptop ...

He also stressed that "it will not be another year before we present it." Huawei is disputed with Samsung being the first to launch a folding smartphone. In this video you can see the prototype that Samsung presented ... in 2012:

 

There are rumors that Huawei has closed a deal with the Chinese panel manufacturer Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) to provide a significant amount of folding OLED screens in early 2019.

Asked about it by Die Welt, the CEO of Huawei has said that "we are working on it, they will not have to wait another year".

The most remarkable of his statements is that Huawei's alleged mobile phone would have a screen equivalent to that of a PC. "Why are you still using a computer?" Possibly because the mobile screen is too small for your needs, we're going to change that, "it's realistic that a screen can bend," said Richard Yu.

 

Samsung is the main candidate company to trade a folding smartphone. It is rumored that he will present it next November, perhaps at the CES fair in January. Although the most logical thing is to reserve it for the MWC of Barcelona, at the end of February.

The so-called Galaxy F could have a screen size of 4.5 inches folded, and 7.3 inches deployed. It would also include a curved battery. Of course, the price would skyrocket to $ 1,900.

It seems that in addition to the screen, folding smartphones will also have the price of a PC ... high-end ....
