Huawei Reveals Mate XT World’s First Tri-Fold Smartphone
Huawei has officially announced its World’s First Tri-Fold Smartphone, the Mate XT, set to launch on September 10, 2024. The device features a 10-inch display when unfolded and is expected to be priced around $4,000.
The unveiling was made through a teaser video on Weibo, strategically timed after Apple’s iPhone 16 event to garner attention.
The Mate XT Impact on Industry
The Mate XT is anticipated to make a significant impact in the smartphone industry as the first commercially available triple-folding design. With a focus on premium build and features under Huawei’s Ultimate Design brand, the device is rumored to offer advanced video recording capabilities, including continuous zoom.
Despite competition from other brands like Xiaomi and Oppo, Huawei aims to establish itself as a leader in the tri-fold smartphone market.
However, the global availability of the Mate XT may be limited due to geopolitical tensions, particularly in the U.S. and U.K. markets. Ongoing concerns over security have led to restrictions on Huawei’s technology in these regions. As the launch date approaches, all eyes are on Huawei to see if the Mate XT will deliver on its promises and potentially set a new standard for foldable smartphones.
