Huawei has introduced the Mate XT Ultimate Design, the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, offering an innovative combination of design, performance, and flexibility. With a triple-folding display, flagship-grade specifications, and elegant craftsmanship, this device sets a new benchmark in the foldable phone category.
HUAWEI Mate XT Overview
Display and Design
The HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Design features a flexible OLED display that can fold into three different screen modes. When folded like a standard phone, it offers a 6.4-inch display with a resolution of 2232 × 1008 pixels. In dual-screen mode, it expands to 7.9 inches at 2232 × 2048 pixels. When fully unfolded, the device becomes a 10.2-inch tablet with a resolution of 2232 × 3184 pixels. The display supports 1.07 billion colors, a 90Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 1440Hz PWM dimming for smooth and responsive viewing. Despite its large screen size, the phone is slim and lightweight, measuring just 3.6 mm thick when unfolded and weighing around 298 grams without the screen protector. It’s premium finish includes vegan leather and a dual-hinge structure that ensures durability and smooth folding.
Performance and Storage
The device runs on EMUI 14.2 and is equipped with 16 GB of RAM to deliver smooth multitasking and app performance. It comes in two storage variants: 512 GB and 1 TB of internal storage. There is no option for external memory expansion, but the available space is more than sufficient for storing high-resolution photos, videos, and apps.
Camera Features
Huawei has equipped the Mate XT with a versatile triple rear camera system. It includes a 50 MP Ultra Aperture main camera with a variable aperture from f/1.4 to f/4.0 and optical image stabilization. Supporting this are a 12 MP ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a 12 MP periscope telephoto camera with f/3.4 aperture and 5.5× optical zoom, also featuring OIS. The telephoto lens supports up to 50× digital zoom. On the front, there is an 8 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture that supports up to 4K video recording. The camera app includes features such as night mode, adjustable aperture, portrait mode, macro photography, slow-motion, panorama, super moon, dual-view video, and time-lapse, allowing users to take creative shots in different scenarios.
Battery and Charging
The phone is powered by a large 5600 mAh typical capacity battery (rated at 5500 mAh) made using silicon-carbon technology, which allows for more power in a thinner design. It supports 66W Huawei SuperCharge wired charging and 50W wireless SuperCharge. The device also supports reverse charging, offering 7.5W wireless and 5W wired output, making it easy to power up other devices like earbuds or smartwatches.
Connectivity and Extras
In terms of connectivity, the Mate XT supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1, and NFC. It also supports global positioning systems, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC. For security, the phone features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is rated IPX8 for water resistance in the unfolded state, offering protection against accidental splashes, though it does not include official dust resistance.
