360-Degree Folding Smartphone FlexCore Released: Flexible OLED Screen Folds Both Inward and Outward

FlexCore uses a dual-axis hinge and ultra-thin flexible OLED panel, enabling free switching between folded and unfolded states with the screen area expanding 2.5 times when unfolded.

360-Degree Folding Smartphone FlexCore Released

On September 19, 2030, Huawei unveiled the FlexCore folding smartphone in Munich. The device features a dual-axis hinge design and ultra-thin flexible OLED panel that can fold both inward and outward, expanding the screen from 6.2 inches to 9.8 inches when unfolded.

Previous folding phones only supported inward folding (protecting the screen) or outward folding (screen facing out). FlexCore achieves 360-degree free folding through its dual-axis hinge. Users can fully fold the phone (both screen sides facing outward), unfold it into tablet mode, or fold it into tent mode for video calls.

Huawei Consumer Business CEO Yu Chengdong stated at the launch that FlexCore's flexible OLED panel is only 0.03 millimeters thick with a folding radius of 1 millimeter, withstanding over 200,000 folding cycles. The screen resolution is 2K+ with 120Hz refresh rate support.

FlexCore is powered by Huawei's in-house Kirin 9100 chip, with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage, and a 5200mAh battery. Priced at 16,999 yuan, it will officially go on sale on October 15, 2030.

Industry analysts note that FlexCore's dual-axis hinge technology demands extremely high material and process standards, and Huawei's engineering capability demonstrated in this generation is noteworthy. However, some believe that real-world use cases for 360-degree folding still need market validation.
