Overview
- A well‑known Chinese leaker, Instant Digital, reports the foldable will support eSIM only, echoing expectations from Mark Gurman and Ming‑Chi Kuo.
- The device is rumored to use a 5.5‑inch cover screen with a book‑style fold opening to roughly a 7.8‑inch inner display.
- Mark Gurman has characterized the hardware as super thin, signaling tightly limited internal volume that favors removing a physical SIM slot.
- eSIM provisioning in China often still requires in‑store activation with China Mobile, China Telecom or China Unicom, creating friction for users accustomed to quick SIM swaps and dual‑SIM setups.
- Launch timing is reportedly targeted for late 2026 or early 2027 with a U.S. price around $2,000–$2,500, alongside rumors of a crease‑free inner panel and a 24‑megapixel under‑display camera.
