The company wants to be the first to launch such a phone (ahead of Samsung) and even showed a prototype (on which this render is based).

Huawei is the king of Android, Samsungs falling

    MarkoBarko, 29 Nov 2018Hole is a loot better and less invasive than any notch. But... moreBecause it's a Nova, upper-budget to mid-range device.

      BiyoBiyo JunJun, 29 Nov 2018its not about whose thicker , its about balance ... if they... moreThey must keep the chin due to a patent held by apple which prevents others from folding the OLED panel at the bottom. The chin is there for the bottom of the display and connector. Why apple was allowed patenting a fold of other companies tech is another story and one more reason to hate patent wars.

      Essensially this patent prevents Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Lenovo, and everyone else who is making full screen phones, from making the bottom bezel as slim as the other sides.

        These companies Samsung and Huawei are like a small kids fighting on the sand for every toy.
        How boring.
        I really hope that Nokia wins again and becomes greatest mobile phone brand as it always and ever was.

            Hole is a loot better and less invasive than any notch. But why LCD???

                LG Superfan, 29 Nov 2018Imo teardrop notch looks better than thisIt is.
                This implementation (hole) is annoying on phones with LCD screen display.

                  Imo teardrop notch looks better than this

                          I year later...
                          GSMArena comment section----
                          Huawei innovated by releasing a corner hole design and Samsung copied it.
                          Proof - Look at the released dates of their respective phones.

                          This happens every time. Chinese copy cats print out their phones like crazy.

                          Future prediction ----
                          Only Chinese companies are left in the market. Other brands couldn't hold a candle when it comes to printing phones crazy fast.
                          Now the only competition is who can print fast. Patents and intellectual property are things of the past.

                            Anonymous, 29 Nov 2018Samsung didn't done drill the hole ;-}Apple: I will just put notch for the front camera for the next phone
                            Samsung: I will just use a tiny hole for the front camera instead of notch.
                            Huawei: That's a good idea. And I like that idea too. Impressive, now I can use that innovation on my next line of phones.

                            ........and the rest was history....

                              a hole at the corner? teardrop notch looks better.

                                  First is when Samsung announced that they will be launching the first foldable phone, Huawei joined the race. And now? Hole in the Screen? They are, again, competing (most likely, copying the idea) to be the first company to release one.

                                    Huawei logic. XD
