Huawei has taken the smartphone landscape to the next level by launching the world’s first triple-fold smartphone, the Huawei Mate XT. This announcement came just a couple of hours after Apple launched its iPhone 16 series. Poised to be a groundbreaking device, the phone marks the next step in foldable technology.
Specials: Triple-fold design and display
The Huawei Mate XT introduces the world’s first triple-fold smartphone design, featuring a 6.4-inch OLED display when folded. When partially unfolded, the screen expands to 7.9 inches, and when fully unfolded, it transforms into a 10.2-inch tablet-sized display. Despite its large screen, the device is just 3.6mm thick fully unfolded, making it one of the thinnest smartphones ever.
The smartphone assimilates cutting-edge technology like an ultra-tough laminated structure and non-Newtonian fluid in its dual-hinge system. This design allows smooth folding while maintaining durability and strength. The phone weighs 298g.
Huawei Mate XT: Specifications and features
Huawei is yet to officially confirm the processor details, however, it is speculated that the Mate XT is powered by the Kirin 9000S chip, similar to the Mate 60 Pro+. The device is powered by HarmonyOS 4.2, ensuring a seamless experience.
The camera specifications include:
- 50MP main camera
- 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens
- 12MP telephoto lens with 5.5x optical zoom
- 8MP front camera for selfies
Connectivity options on the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port. It is equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.
Charging with the world’s thinnest battery
Huawei Mate XT is powered by a 5,600mAh silicon carbon battery, which supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. The company claims it is the world’s thinnest battery ever used in a smartphone, setting a new milestone in battery technology.
Huawei Mate XT: Price and availability
The Huawei Mate XT is up for grabs in three storage variants, all featuring 16GB RAM:
- 256GB model retailed at 19,999 Yuan
- 512GB variant priced at 21,999 Yuan
- 1TB variant available at 23,999 Yuan
The Mate XT is available in two colors: red and black. The device will be available for purchase in China starting September 20, which is the same day the iPhone 16 series goes on sale. However, it is unlikely that the Mate XT will be launched in the international market anytime in the near future. The Huawei phone has already received more than 3 million pre-orders.
The announcement of the Mate XT follows Huawei’s re-emergence in the 5G premium smartphone market last year with the launch of its Mate 60 series and this year with its premium Pura series phones that have domestically produced semiconductors. #hydkhabar
