We've been working on a new device to reframe your perspective on mobile. It's now in early testing with our team outside the lab. Look forward to sharing more in the near future! #ProjectGEM pic.twitter.com/BnVy7yM2Kj

This is a dramatic shift away from the PH-1 and even a drastically different design than most of the folding smartphones this year has brought forth. It seems this design — now internally named Project GEM — looks like half the width of a standard smartphone but sports a hole-punch camera, fingerprint sensor, and a custom Android skin with the weather, maps, calendar and Uber apps active.
In addition, the colour options are spectacular with a gradient blue, red, orange and green.
Rubin himself noted, “New UI for radically different form factor.”
Time will tell if these are going to be the PH-2 or just testing internally.
