Apple has officially introduced the iPhone Duo, marking the most significant evolution in the iPhone’s physical design since its inception. Unveiled on stage by Apple CEO John Ternus, the device enters the foldable market with a refined book-style form factor. Crafted from mirror-polished Grade 5 titanium, the iPhone Duo folds into a compact passport-sized shell while opening into a expansive tablet-class canvas. The hardware is available in two distinct finishes: Star White and Night Sky.

The physical design centers on two displays. The cover interface uses a 5.4-inch outer panel for quick single-handed tasks. Unfolding the device reveals a 7.6-inch Ultra Retina XDR inner display engineered with a multi-pivot magnetic hinge, resulting in a near-invisible crease across the foldable screen.
The hinge allows the phone to flex across multiple positions. It can sit in Laptop Mode—splitting apps with controls on the bottom half and content on top—or stand independently in Tent Mode for hands-free video playback. A camera utility called Duo Preview projects live viewfinders onto both screens simultaneously, letting photography subjects see their framing in real time.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the 2nm A20 Pro silicon, backed by a 6-core CPU, 7-core GPU, and Dual 16-Core Neural Engines designed for complex Apple Intelligence workflows. On-device software support includes true side-by-side app multitasking and full support for the Apple Pencil on the inner display. The rear housing features a dual 48MP Fusion system, paired with the custom C2 cellular modem and N1 wireless chip for efficient network management.

Huawei has officially confirmed that its next-generation tri-foldable flagship, the Huawei Mate XT 2, will make its debut on September 7, 2026. The unveiling will take place during an “All-Scenario New Product Launch Event” in China scheduled for 14:30 local time.
Alongside the hardware reveal, Huawei will officially launch HarmonyOS 7, the company’s newest operating system iteration that will power the device out of the box.
What We Know About the Huawei Mate XT 2
The Mate XT 2 arrives as the successor to Huawei’s pioneering tri-fold series. While the original Mate XT Ultimate made history by establishing the dual-hinge, triple-screen form factor, the Mate XT 2 is expected to refine the mechanics, durability, and processing power.
Rumored Specs;
Refined Folding Mechanism: Leaks suggest Huawei may introduce an updated hinge track structure aimed at further minimizing screen crease visibility and increasing durability.
Next-Gen Silicon: Industry reports indicate the device will be powered by Huawei’s Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, providing enhanced multi-tasking performance for the expansive display.
Battery & Power: Expected to feature an upgraded silicon-anode battery with a capacity exceeding 6,000mAh, optimizing battery life for dual- and triple-screen modes.
Software Integration: Powered by HarmonyOS 7, designed specifically to handle dynamic windowing, seamless layout changes, and multi-app productivity across three distinct screen states.
By holding its launch event on September 7, Huawei maintains its traditional early-September release schedule for flagship foldables. The event positions Huawei right ahead of major autumn announcements from international rivals, reinforcing its dominant share in the premium foldable segment within China. While the September 7 event focuses primarily on the Chinese domestic market, a global variant announcement is expected to follow in subsequent months.
Google unveiled the Pixel 11 Pro Fold alongside the rest of the Pixel 11 lineup at its annual ‘Made by Google’ event on August 12, 2026. Marking Google’s fourth-generation foldable, the device introduces a thinner, lighter, and vastly more durable design powered by the 2nm Tensor G6 chipset. Key hardware upgrades include a gearless hinge, an IP68 rating, and an improved glass-composite back.
Open up our most sophisticated foldable yet, Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
🪶 Almost 10% lighter and about 1mm thinner than Pixel 10 Pro Fold 🏋️ Three times more durable than last year’s device ☀️ A 20% brighter display than Pixel 10 Pro Fold ✨ Features optimized for the big… pic.twitter.com/MW2DG0cP35
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold introduces a re-engineered gearless hinge mechanism alongside a glass-fiber composite back cover built to resist drops and cracks. The device achieves an IP68 dust-and-water resistance rating, delivering three times the durability of its predecessor.
The new HiLight LED Camera Bar replaces the old temperature sensor, using an integrated lighting array around the camera visor to display color-coded, glanceable notifications for incoming calls, key contacts, and hands-free Gemini AI interactions. Under the hood, Google’s custom 2nm Tensor G6 processor works alongside the Titan M3 security co-processor to power on-device AI workloads, boost energy efficiency, and optimize thermal performance.
Accessibility also receives a major upgrade with real-time Sign-to-Text Translation, developed with the Deaf community to convert American Sign Language (ASL) captured by the camera into written text on the cover screen. Finally, both the 8.0-inch inner display and outer cover screen reach a peak brightness of 3,600 nits—a 20% increase—while a thicker glass layer and wider bend radius noticeably diminish the display crease.
Just like what the title, the just announced Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is now available for pre-order in Jarir and Extra, you can also pre-order the tri-fold smartphone directly from Huawei KSA.
