Huawei Patents 3-Fold Vertical Phone With S-Shaped Hinge

Summary
A newly published Huawei patent outlines a vertical triple-foldable phone that folds twice into a compact clamshell instead of the company's book-style tri-fold format.
The 3-fold design uses an S-shaped mechanism to shrink the device for pocket use, then open into a thin, elongated smartphone with a single punch-hole display.
Patent details also describe an optimized structural layer meant to keep antennas and other internal components working efficiently while limiting signal loss in the thinner folding body.
The concept follows Huawei's Mate XT tri-fold push, but the filing remains only a patent application, leaving any commercial launch or "Pura X TriFold" branding unconfirmed.
