HUAWEI Mate XT: the Game-Changer in Folded Phones
The foldable phone industry has witnessed the dawn of yet another milestone, this time in the form of HUAWEI Mate XT-the world’s first triple-screen, dual-folding phone. Though foldable phones have been a trendsetter for the last few years, this particular device takes it to another level as you get to flaunt not one, but three screens when unfolded. So, if you’re the type who’s interested in new cutting-edge tech and innovation, then this cutting-edge foldable is something you can’t ignore. But at a price that’s almost impressive.
A Dual-Folding, Triple-Screen Marvel
HUAWEI had been hinting at this innovation for quite some time, and now the Mate XT is finally unveiled in China. While other foldable phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 or the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, rely on one hinge only, there’s much more to the Mate XT. Two hinges of different folds: one inside folding and the other folding outwards make it look like the form of a Z when folded.
While folded, the leftmost side of the screen is indeed a regular smartphone screen measuring 6.4 inches. Pop it open though, and you’re in for an enormous 10.2-inch OLED screen with a 2,232 x 3,184 resolution. That’s significantly larger than the 7.6 to 8 inches offered by most conventional foldables, like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
You can fold it partially, exposing a 7.9-inch screen. And if that’s still too much of a good thing, it is overkill, you can fold it totally, and that is 10.2 inches. But that is about it. HUAWEI has designed this foldable device with flexibility in mind. The option for the users to customize their experience based on the screen needed.
Price and Availability
Well, the Mate XT remains a China-exclusive just for now. There is no word on a global launch yet. The price range for the 16/256GB version launches at a pretty substantial 19,999 yuan (~$2,809) and goes up to 23,999 yuan (~$3,371) for the 16/1TB model. For that price you get more than just a design that stands out in its niche; the device bundles some interesting extras: a kickstand case, HUAWEI FreeBuds 5 earbuds, a 66W charger, and even an 88W car charger. You can find more details regarding the pricing and availability through HUAWEI’s official page as well.
Though there is no word about the global launch, HUAWEI hasn’t completely dismissed the wider launch. So those who are not based in China should wait for what’s in store for the revolutionary device.
Performance and Battery Life: The Perfect Balance?
Perhaps the biggest concern with foldables is battery life, especially as the screens get larger. Of course, though, the Mate XT has a 5,600mAh silicon battery, which should easily drive its triple-screen configuration. It’s another thing entirely whether that battery will last as long as you might like when using the expansive 10.2-inch screen.
Another advantage of the HUAWEI nova 8 series is fast recharging with 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, so topping up will not take much time. Visit the HUAWEI fast-charging solutions page for more information on fast-charging technologies.
Rear Camera Advanced Camera System for Photography Enthusiasts
The HUAWEI Mate XT is shining light not only in foldable mobiles but also in photography that has a 50MP variable aperture main camera between f/1.4 to f/4.0, and a 12MP ultrawide lens and 5.5x periscope camera for closeup shots of distant subjects. There’s an 8MP front camera that fits snugly into the top-leftmost edge of the screen to take selfies or video calls in both folded and unfolded states.
This device would be perfect for photography enthusiasts who need a powerful camera setup without compromising the compactness of a foldable phone. For more from HUAWEI’s other flagship cameras, go here.
Cutting-Edge Features Under the Hood
But what is the power behind this foldable device? HUAWEI was mum on the chipset, though many analysts believe it to be powered by the Kirin 9010 5G chip, the same processor that will be used in the HUAWEI Pura 70 series. Meaning that the Mate XT supports satellite communication-an innovative feature that differentiates it from other foldables.
Connectivity on the device includes Bluetooth 5.2 and Harmony OS—HUAWEI’s very own operating system exclusive to China, rather than the typical EMUI software that comes with other smartphones. Additionally, there is a fingerprint reader located along the side of the phone to further enhance security, and an IR blaster so you can control your appliances straight through your phone.
What’s Special about the HUAWEI Mate XT
The HUAWEI Mate XT is not another foldable phone but rather cell phone reimagining of just what a foldable can be; this will make it much more flexible, a larger screen, and a strange design, setting it apart from all else. Whether it succeeds in the global sphere, only time will tell; for now, that is a vanguard for a changing smartphone landscape.
In that sense, the Mate XT is a promise of the next foldables. Its success should hopefully see more manufacturers experimenting with such designs.
Should you be in the market for a foldable phone and can afford the premium price tag, then the Mate XT is going to catch your attention undoubtedly.
