Huawei P10 is the next device to be launched, that’s no secret. The P10 will have specs of a 5.5 inch, a 4GB RAM and will be the next big thing to succeed the P9 which was launched six months ago.

Design and Features of the Huawei P10

The Prototype of the Huawei P10 was leaked last week, and it really looks like the Meizu MX6 with rounded edges. Today we will show you some leaks, its front panel up close and it shed some light on another interesting thing. And judging by this new picture, there won’t be any specific details yet. But we can assure you that the panel is a seamless glass, including the key holder, this means that the key holder will be a capacitive feature with an advanced fingerprint scanner beneath.

The Huawei P10 gonna come with a fingerprint scanner below the screen, which is different with the P9 that had its own on the back. According to GSMArena, The Huawei P10 will come in 2 beautiful models. The first one gonna be like a kind of device with a flat front glass, and the second one will have a curved display similar to the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge.

Note that the design is different from the photos above, but the pictured unit maybe a prototype in a design placeholder to shield the actual design from leaking. The Huawei P10 is rumored to come with specs of a 5.5″ Quad HD screen and the latest Kirin 960 SoC with 4GB of RAM. There is no official information whether it will come with a feature like the second generation Leica camera we saw on the Mate 9, or a new third generation Leica built up.

Huawei P10 Availability

However, the Huawei P10 is expected to be official in April 2017, so nothing is pretty sure about the rumored information, and  anything can change anytime until then.

Recent reports have suggested that patents for the foldable iPhone was filed since 2014. Samsung is the company with a higher privilege to register for such designs.

Design and Features

It is believed that Tim Cook is also interested in such an innovation for the company Apple. The CEO will love to see a foldable iPhone with a flexible OLED screen. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted the patent no. 9,504,170 for “flexible display devices”, which details a design for a hinged iPhone that can fold in two when not in use. The device would rely on flexible components such as an OLED display, metal support tools made of a nickel and titanium alloy called nitinol.

Apple also discussed the flexible polymers as a possible alternative to the nitinol design, with some versions of the phone coming with a chassis split into upper and lower sections. These sections will be the place where the phone hardware is attached via a single or multi-shaft hinge mechanism. This will allow the rotation so that the divided parts separately can move relative to one another. There will be a flexible printed circuit boards to allow the phone to be foldable, while the display is overlaid across the two portions of the handset.

Of course, companies quickly file patents in order to protect their designs, and that’s why Apple secured the patent for its foldable iPhone. But a patent doesn’t mean that the product is going to be made and make it to market. As we previously told you, Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone with an OLED screen in 2017. Instead of being flexible, the display of this next OLED device will be an almost all-screen design.

Apple might make a foldable iPhone?

Whether we’ll see a foldable version of the iPhone in the coming years or not, it looks like Apple has already considered the idea. Hopefully, we can see it come to reality! Are you excited about a foldable iPhone?
