Previous reports said that Huawei would attempt to release its foldable device before Samsung. However, Huawei competitor Samsung’s foldable phone is not expected to come with 5G compatible when it will release, but the reports say that such a variant would be released later.

A Korean report says that Huawei has showcased its device to high ranking officials at Korean carriers. The product shown was a finished unit and not a prototype.

There are no more details about Huawei Foldable 5G Device except the screen of the device.
