Huawei's Mate XT, the world's first tri-fold smartphone, is now launching globally after its China debut in September 2024 though getting your hands on one might still be tricky.

 

The Mate XT features a flexible OLED display that transforms into three modes: a 10.2-inch tablet, 7.9-inch dual-screen, or a 6.4-inch phone all supported by sturdy steel hinges for smooth folding.

 

Camera lovers get a 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, and 12MP telephoto lens with stabilization, plus an 8MP front camera capable of 4K video recording.

 

Powered by Huawei’s OS, the Mate XT packs 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a 5,600mAh battery supporting 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Wrapped in lightweight vegan leather, it’s available in black or red, weighs 298g, and is priced at €3,499 (~$3,650).
