Huawei is known for its innovative approach to smartphone design, and it seems that the company is not slowing down when it comes to its foldable smartphone offerings. Blogger Jerrold_tech recently posted on Weibo what they claim are pictures of patented designs for Huawei’s future folding phone.

The images reveal a unique and asymmetrical design, setting it apart from other foldable smartphones currently available in the market. When unfolded, the left side of the phone is taller than the right side, creating an interesting visual effect. This design choice appears to be influenced by the camera placement, which is located in the upper left corner when the phone is unfolded. This camera can be used as a front-facing selfie camera, while the right panel aligns beneath it when folded, allowing the camera to serve as the primary rear camera.

One of the advantages of this unusual design is that it enables Huawei to use just one camera setup, regardless of whether the device is folded or not. The patented design also includes a Time-of-Flight (ToF) lens, which can be utilized for face recognition and other purposes.

While the shared images provide a glimpse of this exciting patent, it is important to note that this information is based on rumors and has not been officially confirmed by Huawei. Therefore, it is advisable to approach it with a certain degree of skepticism. However, if Huawei does indeed bring this asymmetrical design to life, it could introduce some much-needed variety to the foldable phone market.

As always, we will continue to keep you updated on any official announcements or developments regarding Huawei’s future foldable smartphone. Stay tuned for more information!
