Huawei Mate XT is the world’s first tri-fold smartphone to be announced on September 10 in China This 3-panel foldable smartphone model would signify Huawei’s first in a series of tri-fold smartphones and will extend its notorious Mate line with a new design. Excitement has been building up since the launch event and a teaser video starring superstar actor Andy Lau.

More About the Huawei Mate XT

The video, which comes courtesy of Weibo user Zealer China (via GSMArena), provides us with our first glimpse at the rear view of one version of the Mate XT in a striking red color complete with bold “Huawei Ultimate Design” branding. The quad-camera system is nested within an octagonal module in the rear panel, and it comes with a combined vertical LED flash beside the camera setup.

The Huawei Mate XT is notable for its innovative foldable display, which unfolds into three sections. This design approach aligns with prior leaks and confirms the phone’s advanced foldable technology. Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group, has described the Mate XT as the culmination of five years of “persistence and investment,” transforming “science fiction into reality.” This statement underscores Huawei’s dedication to advancing smartphone technology.

It’s rumored that the Mate XT will come with a 10-inch inner screen comprised of two inward-folding panels and an outer display incorporated in between by means of the double-hinge system. This configuration is expected to elevate device utility and user experience. We are also expecting a hole-punch cutout for the front camera on the far-left display. The processor powering the phone is expected to be in the Kirin 9 series, which may also find use in the Huawei Mate 70 series.

The Mate XT will also see a bump in AI technology capabilities, which have been significant across the Huawei brand of devices. The September 10 launch will also feature other significant announcements, including the Luxeed R7 and a new smart car model, highlighting Huawei’s broadening product portfolio and innovative aspirations.
