We first heard about Huawei working on a Galaxy Z Flip<\/a>-like foldable phone late last year. The company had reportedly<\/a> filed a patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), showing rough sketches of a clamshell device. Now, TigerMobiles<\/em><\/a> has discovered yet another patent for a foldable Huawei phone with a clamshell design.<\/p>\n According to the patent screenshots, Huawei filed the application for the foldable phone with the Chinese patent authority CNIPA in August 2019 but only received authorization for it today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patent documents show a foldable flip phone with a vertically aligned multi-camera setup and what looks like an elongated second screen at the back. The front of the phone appears to have a notch but we can’t really see the selfie camera setup in it clearly. The phone folds inwards using a rounded hinge mechanism similar to what we’ve seen on the Galaxy Z Flip.<\/p>\n Industry experts believe<\/a> that Huawei is indeed pursuing both clamshells and Galaxy Fold<\/a>-style in-folding phones. In fact, the Chinese company is expected to launch an aggressively priced foldable phone later this year. It has also reportedly<\/a> purchased ultra-thin glass, such as the one used on the Galaxy Z Flip, to use on its own foldable devices.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, folks over at LetsGoDigital<\/em><\/a> recently came across a new Huawei trademark application mentioning the name “Mate V.” It’s unclear if the name refers to a smartphone or some other device. However, going by previous Huawei smartphone names such as the Mate X and the Mate S, it’s very much possible that the Mate V moniker is reserved for a high-end smartphone. Does it belong to this patented clamshell phone or a Galaxy Fold-like in-folding handset? We’ll have to wait and watch<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Adamya Sharma<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Huawei](\"https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Huawei-clamshell-phone-patent-2.jpg\" "\\"Huawei")
