The one that folded out like a brochure and scratched if you looked at it wrong.</p> <p>Huawei apparently remembered too. They dropped a teaser ad today. Didn’t show much. But within an hour Weibo was full of what look like official renders.</p> <h2 id="whats-new">What’s new </h2><p><strong>Dark purple. Triple screen. And one big change: it folds inward now.</strong></p> <p>Instead of zig-zagging out, both sides fold in. G-fold, like Samsung’s tri-fold. Dumb name, honestly. But smart move. Means your screens aren’t facing the world when it’s in your pocket.</p> <p>They also finally added a <strong>cover screen</strong>. The original forced you to unfold it just to check WhatsApp. This one has a little outer display. The cut-out is a pill, not a dot.</p> <p>Leakers are saying multispectral camera. Could be. Could also be nothing.</p> <p>The back camera is still that octagon in the middle. Rim looks chunkier this time. Huawei teased square and circle for months and then&hellip; nah, same shape.</p> <h2 id="launch">Launch </h2><p>Expected launch is <strong>September 7</strong>. Huawei’s already blasting it on a billboard in Wangfujing, Beijing.</p> <p>Look, is it exciting? Kinda. The first one was a flex. This one actually sounds usable. If the cover screen is decent and the screens don’t die in 6 months, people might actually buy it instead of just posting it.</p> <p>We’ll find out next week.</p>
