Huawei has once again pushed the boundaries of smartphone innovation with the launch of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design. This groundbreaking device is the world’s first tri-folding phone, offering a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and elegant design. Let’s dive into the features and pricing of this remarkable device.
The Huawei Mate XT boasts a vein-textured, thin design that is both stylish and functional. The device is wrapped in genuine plain leather, available in two stunning colours: Ruihong (Red Gold) and Dark Black. The tri-folding mechanism allows the phone to transform into three different screen sizes:
- Single Screen: 6.4 inches with a resolution of 2232 x 1008 pixels.
- Double Screen: 7.9 inches with a resolution of 2232 x 2048 pixels.
- Triple Screen: 10.2 inches with a resolution of 2232 x 3184 pixels.
The display features an OLED LTPO screen with 1.07 billion colors, a P3 wide color gamut, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a 240Hz maximum touch response.
Huawei has introduced the Tiangong hinge technology, which supports dual hinges for both internal and external bending. This innovative hinge design reduces the hinge’s movable space, offering enhanced stability and a slim, lightweight body structure.
The Mate XT is equipped with a powerful camera setup, including a 50MP main camera with a variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12MP 5.5x periscope telephoto lens. The device also features an 8MP front camera for high-quality selfies.
The phone is powered by a 5600mAh battery, which supports 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. This ensures that you can stay connected and productive throughout the day.
Running on HarmonyOS 4.2, the Mate XT offers a seamless and intuitive user experience. The device comes with 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The exact SoC is not revealed, but it is expected to use the Kirin 9000 chip.
