It is not clear when she will be released.
Huawei has applied for the registration of the Mate V trademark. Sources believe that this will be called the new flexible smartphone manufacturer. Initially, many thought that the Mate V will be released instead of the new Mate X, only it will have a slightly different design and fold inward with the display, like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. The corresponding patent of Huawei hinted at it.
Huawei is preparing a competitor for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr. The novelty may be called Mate V
However, the well-known insider Ben Geskin obtained other information indicating that the Huawei Mate V will not look like the Galaxy Fold, but the Galaxy Z Flip, that is, it will be a flexible clamshell.
In the images, you can see an elongated display, a very large module of the main camera, and a cutout for the front, probably intended, among other things, to accommodate the sensor unit responsible for the operation of the Face Unlock function.
It is not yet clear when the Mate V will be released at all, not to mention its form factor and design, but it can be assumed that the device can be shown in the fall along with the Mate 40 line and the new Mate X.
As for the insider, Geskin repeatedly shared information, which was then confirmed. For example, at one time he published a render of Huawei P40 Pro, which, as it turned out later, was very close to the real design of the device.
