Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Edition tri-folding smartphone launched

Huawei Technologies Co. announced the world’s first commercial device with two folds, claiming leadership in mobile design just after Apple Inc. unveiled its latest iPhones.

The so-called trifold phone from Huawei, dubbed the Mate XT and starting at 19,999 yuan (R50,256), took over five years of development and promises to fit a 10-inch tablet in a pocket.

Still with a 6 year old SOC?

R50 000 for a phone? No thanks, I'm content spending that on GTA shark cards.

But does it Google?

You know what is better than having a fold in your phone screen? 2 folds in your phone screen!

Also, no Google services!

The dual-fold Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is official and boy is it expensive!

Huawei has just introduced the Mate XT Ultimate, the world's first smartphone with a dual-fold design. When fully unfolded, the device measures 10.2 inches in diagonal. Folding the left section behind reduces it to a 7.9-inch foldable, and folding the right side transforms it into a compact 6.4-inch bar-style phone.

Despite its complex design, the Mate XT Ultimate is impressively thin at 3.6 mm (unfolded) and weighs just 298 grams, even with its large camera setup based on the Mate X5 foldable.

The device technically features a single screen—a flexible LTPO OLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate and support for 10 billion colors. Its full resolution is 3,184 x 2,232 pixels, which adjusts to 2,232 x 2,048 and 2,232 x 1,008 pixels depending on the folding configuration.

Huawei calls this display “3K,” positioning it as a middle ground between 2K (QHD) and 4K. The screen has a 92% screen-to-body ratio, with the fully unfolded 10.2-inch display boasting a 16:11 aspect ratio. Huawei also claims to enhance the display with "AI computing image quality."

Only if the Americans didn't interfer with Huawei, these guys would be giving us some amazing phones running Android with current processors.

My Huawei ‘smoked’ the iPhones on almost every point, barring brand status and perceived social standing

 

[JimboBob]

Come on, that's like 3 phones for R50 000. That's cheap.

 

[FiestaST]

Smoked lol

 

[Botha22]

From the videos it looks impressive. But at that price ($2,800), and without Google services, for now an iPad Air + iPhone 16 Pro Max will do just fine.

You can, but please stick actually stick on point, no anti-iPhone narrative head spin story.
