Huawei is bringing their first tri-fold smartphone: the Mate XT
Over the last few weeks, Huawei has been whispering about its first tri-fold smartphone. Now, the name has surfaced: Mate XT! Among Huawei’s flagship lines, the Mate series targets tech enthusiasts, which is a fitting choice given Huawei’s history of pushing boundaries with the Mate X, their first foldable, back in 2019.
Tech News
The Mate XT’s Features
The Mate XT will be part of Huawei’s “Ultimate Design” brand, which is Huawei’s most high-end lineup. This collaboration appears to be the spiritual heir to the Huawei-Porsche design partnership, which concluded in 2012. The recently released teaser video hints that the Mate XT will significantly focus on videography, particularly with its continuous zoom capabilities, though concrete details remain elusive. The Mate X is rumored to boast an impressive 10-inch display when fully unfolded.
Launch Event
Huawei will hold a special launch event on September 10, where it will showcase a few other devices besides the Mate XT. Huawei’s first tri-fold phone will be accompanied by the Watch GT 5, Watch D2, and the five-seat Aito M9 electric car.
What is a Tri-Fold Smartphone?
A tri-fold phone is a device designed to be folded into three sections, representing an evolution from the dual-folding Mate X. When unfolded, it is anticipated to offer users a tablet-like experience, combining the expansive screen real estate of a tablet with the portability of a smartphone in a single device.
The “XT” in the Huawei Mate XT’s name
The “XT” designation in the Huawei Mate XT’s name likely hints at its enhanced folding features. Also, being part of the Ultimate Design brand, it is expected to use premium materials and finishes. It may even feature some design elements from Huawei and Porsche’s partnership.
Video Recording
The teaser video suggests that the video recording features on the Mate XT have been greatly improved. It will have “continuous zoom capability”, meaning smooth and seamless zooming during video recording. Besides, the experience of video editing and sharing is also expected to be much better with the benefit of the big screen.
