After topping the charts on DxOmark camera test with Huawei P20 Pro, the company is reportedly working on another project which has the potential to disrupt the mobile phone market. According to Korean ETnews, Huawei is working on a foldable display phone. For the development of this handset, it has reportedly partnered with BOE, a leading display manufacturer in China.
At present, not much is known about this upcoming phone as it is in the nascent stage of development.
