The leak comes from Digital Chat Station, a well-known source in the industry. The tipster did not name the brand directly but provided clues pointing to Honor.
Display and Design Details
The foldable is said to feature a large internal display of around 7.6 inches. The cover screen is expected to measure about 5.5 inches.
These dimensions align with recent industry trends. Several Chinese manufacturers are reportedly working on similar form factors.
The device is also expected to use ultra-thin glass (UTG) technology. This should minimize creasing and improve the viewing experience.
According to the leak, the phone will launch in the first half of next year. That timeline suggests an official announcement in early 2026.

Previous reports from April indicated that multiple Chinese brands were evaluating next-generation foldables. Those devices were also described with 7.7-inch main and 5.5-inch cover screens.
Honor has not confirmed the leak. However, the company has been expanding its foldable lineup, making this move plausible.
Samsung and Apple are also working on wide foldable phones.
Huawei already has a model on the market, the Pura X Max, which the tipster claims will be one of the most affordable options.

While the device and brand name remain undisclosed, the hints suggest it could be a device from Honor.
There are also previous claims that support this.
In April, industry sources suggested that several Chinese manufacturers were evaluating next-generation foldables with similar screen setups, typically around 7.7 inches for the main display and 5.5 inches for the cover screen.
