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.

Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design Specifications

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.
