It's a bit larger and folds the opposite way as the Galaxy Fold: the screen wraps around the outside. No secondary screen.

It is scheduled to ship sometime in the second half of the year.

Price translates to US$2600 but that won't matter because it won't ship to the US because they are facing a variety of penalties for money laundering, IP theft, and other criminal violations.

Elsewhere around the world, Huawei will still need to convince consumers that $2,600 isn't too much for a phone.

Yu acknowledged that the price was high and said it would take at least two years before the cost went down to the level of one of its more mainstream phones.
