Huawei to show the world's first 5G foldable smartphone at MWC 2019!

At Huawei's pre-MWC 2019 briefing, the Chinese global tech leader announced that they will bring a 5G smartphone in Barcelona, Spain.

Balong 5000 and Kirin 980!

The first foldable smartphone with 5G?

Moreover, Huawei's 5G smartphone is not just an ordinary smartphone, it could be the world's first foldable smartphone with 5G connectivity.

Huawei CEO Richard Yu said that the handset will use the 7nm Kirin 980 chipset paired with the Balong 5000 5G modem.

If that's the case, Huawei could best Samsung as phone maker with the world's first 5G foldable smartphone.

We won't count out Xiaomi as well. The emerging Chinese tech brand teased their own foldable tablet/smartphone prototype earlier this week. We are not yet sure if it has 5G connectivity though.

More than one smartphone with 5G from Huawei?

Going back to the presentation of Huawei, the company said that "5G smartphones are coming".

It suggests there will be more than one 5G handset presented in Barcelona.
