Huawei, the Chinese tech powerhouse, has just dropped a bombshell on the tech world with the unveiling of the Mate XT Ultimate Design. This groundbreaking smartphone is the world’s first commercially available triple-foldable phone, boasting a stunning 10.2-inch OLED display that seamlessly transitions between a compact phone and a tablet-sized powerhouse.
A New Era of Foldable Tech
Dubbed “the first-ever commercial triple foldable phone” by Huawei, the Mate XT’s claim to fame is its ingenious flexible OLED touchscreen, hinged in two directions. This allows the device to dynamically switch between single, dual, and triple screen modes, adapting to your needs with unprecedented flexibility.
When fully unfolded, the 3,000-pixel, 10.2-inch screen delivers what Huawei calls “cinema-level immersive viewing,” perfect for enjoying movies, reading e-books, or tackling productivity tasks. The device also features an innovative hinge system with two tracks working in tandem, enabling both inward and outward folds.
Style Meets Substance
The Mate XT is a marvel of engineering, measuring a mere 12.8 millimeters when folded and an astonishing 3.6 millimeters at its thinnest point when fully unfolded. Despite its slender profile, the phone boasts a robust screen construction, thanks to a composite laminated structure that ensures both strength and flexibility.
As part of Huawei’s premium “Ultimate Design” line, the Mate XT exudes luxury with its layered steel construction, octagonal camera surround, and genuine leather back. Available in red or black, the phone is a testament to Huawei’s commitment to both innovation and style.
A Bold Move in the Foldable Phone Race
Huawei’s launch of the Mate XT comes hot on the heels of Apple’s iPhone 16 unveiling, further heating up the competition in the smartphone market. While Apple has yet to release a foldable phone, Huawei has been pushing the boundaries of foldable technology since 2019 with the original Mate X.
The Mate XT is set to hit the Chinese market on September 20th, marking another milestone in Huawei’s journey as a global tech leader. Although its availability is currently limited to China, the Mate XT undoubtedly signals a new era of foldable smartphones, where innovation and versatility reign supreme.
