Huawei is planning to launch a smartphone with a fold-out screen within a year, according to the firm’s chief executive. Richard Yu said that Huawei was “already working on it”.

Earlier this month, an executive at Huawei’s South Korean rival Samsung said it was time for his company to deliver a foldable smartphone.

“Why are you still using a computer?” replied Mr Yu, when asked about forthcoming tech innovations by Die Welt. “Probably because you find a smartphone display too small. We will change that. It is conceivable that you could fold out a display.”

Huawei was working on such a device, he added, and it would be ready within a year. The comments suggest close competition between Huawei and Samsung, both of which are aiming to become the first smartphone maker to release a device with a flexible display of some kind.
