The Chinese tech giant has unveiled its upcoming foldable device. The company has posted a video on twitter showing its president and Co-founder Bin Lin, folding the phone.

What is special about the device, is that it has not just one but two folding panels, which is the reason why company claims that it's the world's first double folding device.

In the video shared by the company on social media, Bin Lin is seen operating a tablet sized touchscreen device. He quickly turns it into landscape mode and folds it from both sides behind the tablet, to make it look like a phablet. The video is edited and hence the folding process can't be seen in action. However, after being folded, the two panels at the back go dark. Its Bezel-less design somehow resembles the infinity display of Samsung galaxy S8.

Nothing has been revealed in the video, about the features or specifications of the device. However, a spokesman on behalf of the president has said, "This symmetrical double-folded form perfectly combines the experience of tablet and smartphone, which is both practical and beautiful. He further adds, "If you like it, we would consider making a mass production machine in future."

In the recent months, a handful of such folding devices have been revealed in leaks on the Internet, from companies like Samsung and Huawei. But, nothing has been said officially yet.
