Huawei Unveils Mate XT Tri-Fold Smartphone

Huawei is set to unveil its first tri-fold smartphone, the Huawei Mate XT, on September 10, shortly after Apple’s launch of the iPhone 16 series. The Mate XT will feature a Z-shaped, triple-fold design that expands to a 10-inch screen, potentially making it the most expensive smartphone due to its advanced display technology. Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu, has been seen using the device, and the company has been teasing the launch on social media. This launch comes as Huawei aims to reclaim market share, particularly in China, where its smartphone sales have surged despite US sanctions. The new Mate XT will compete directly with other foldable phones from Samsung and Xiaomi. Huawei's aggressive strategy underscores its ambition to innovate and dominate the foldable phone market, leveraging its strengths despite geopolitical challenges.
