Huawei has made headlines with the launch of the Mate XT Ultimate Design—the world’s first tri-fold AI smartphone unveiled just days after Apple’s iPhone 16. With its three expansive glass screens and revolutionary Tiangong hinge system, this device is redefining smartphone technology.
When fully opened, the Mate XT features an impressive 10.2-inch display free from visible creases. Huawei’s design team cleverly integrated a slim rod structure within the hinges, allowing the phone to maintain a sleek profile while offering the functionality of three displays. Users can enjoy a multi-screen experience without sacrificing portability; when folded, it feels like a single streamlined device.
Durability is a key focus for Huawei, with core components made from steel typically used in aerospace applications. This ensures resilience against the wear and tear of everyday use. The Mate XT is available in striking red and dark black, each featuring elegant leather skins and eye-catching black gold linings that glimmer beautifully.
Running on an updated version of HarmonyOS, the Mate XT boasts advanced AI functionalities that enhance the user experience. Features like voice editing tools and side-by-side translation capabilities make it not just visually stunning but also incredibly functional. The AI-driven photo editing tools allow users to creatively enhance images with ease.
The device’s 3K ultra-high resolution displays, combined with a 92 percent screen-to-body ratio, offer vibrant visuals perfect for entertainment and productivity. Users can engage with multiple apps simultaneously—ideal for multitasking, whether reading while taking notes or browsing while chatting.
The Mate XT features a diamond-shaped camera casing that houses cameras with ten variable apertures, including a periscope telephoto lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens. This allows for stunning images across all focal lengths, complete with 5.5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom capabilities. For those venturing off the grid, Huawei’s Tiantong satellite communication ensures connectivity in remote areas.
Since its launch on September 20, the Mate XT has garnered significant interest, with over 2.7 million pre-orders. This strong demand highlights the appeal of innovative smartphone designs, especially in China, where consumers are eager to embrace cutting-edge technologies. As competition in the smartphone market intensifies, particularly with Huawei’s bold push into the foldable device segment, the Mate XT positions the company as a leader in this evolving landscape.
