Aiming to upstage Apple, Huawei today unveiled the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design, in China. Huawei is fiercely competing with Apple in its home market, and this launch is likely to give them an advantage.

We’ve seen countless leaks about this phone in the past week. The Mate XT is a 6.4-inch FHD+ screen smartphone when folded, a 7.9-inch 2K screen mini-tablet when half-open, and a 10.2-inch tablet with a 3K screen when fully opened.

Huawei claims the panel used is made of multi-directional bending flexible materials and is 25% more improved than standard foldable displays. It also features the industry’s largest UTG glass, offering double the impact resistance.
The Huawei Mate XT is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 SoC paired with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. It runs Android 14-based HarmonyOS 4.2 with a promise of future software version upgrades.
In terms of optics, the Mate XT gets a triple camera setup on the rear: a 50MP primary camera supporting variable aperture (f/1.4 – f/4.0), a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12MP 5.5x periscope telephoto lens. Selfies are handled by an 8MP camera.
