Last year, the company announced its new chip, tianang, already compatible with 5G. According to the company's statement, the chip should be compatible with simplified 5G networks worldwide.

The launch of this new hardware took place at an event in Beijing, focused on the new internet standard. At the same event, the company promised to present new products with 5G at the Mobile World Conference 2019.

The company is also developing the chip Balong 5G01 with support for Standalone 5G NR created in conjunction with 3GPP, an organization that sets standards for mobile operators. It also invested $600 million to make its devices 5G compatible.

It is possible that this flexible phone comes with the M-Pen, the smartphone stylus Huawei Mate 20X. And, as you can see in the renders below, designed by the Dutch site Lets Go Digital, the device should be used in full size, as a smartphone, with a rear screen, as a tablet and as a small stand-up monitor.
