What happened
Huawei's wide-fold Pura X Max saw its sales rise 76.5% during the four-day period from September 10 to September 13, compared with the same period the previous week, according to people cited by Star Market Daily.
The reported surge came after Apple officially launched its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo.
The figures were attributed to unnamed sources and reported by journalist Huang Xinyi of Star Market Daily.
Why it matters
The timing suggests Apple's entry into foldables may have drawn fresh attention to the category rather than simply capturing it, with a rival wide-fold model apparently benefiting in the same window.
If the reported momentum holds, it could signal that the foldable segment is expanding enough to support competing designs, though the four-day window is too short to establish a lasting trend.
