Huawei has introduced its latest innovation in foldable technology, the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN. This groundbreaking device is the world’s first commercial tri-fold smartphone, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of mobile technology.
The HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN boasts several notable features that set it apart in the competitive smartphone market. At the forefront is its unique tri-fold design, which allows the device to transform between three distinct screen sizes. When fully unfolded, the smartphone offers a 10.2-inch display, making it the largest foldable smartphone screen currently available. In its dual-screen configuration, it measures 7.9 inches, while the single-screen mode provides a more conventional 6.4-inch display.
Huawei has prioritized both form and function in the design of this new device. The HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN claims the title of the world’s thinnest foldable phone, measuring just 3.6mm when fully unfolded. This slim profile is complemented by an innovative ultra-thin leather exterior, available in classic black and red colorways. The leather, measuring a mere 0.47mm in thickness, is crafted from an aerospace-grade fiber, offering a blend of durability and luxury.

The device’s camera module incorporates Huawei’s signature Star Diamond design, enhanced with a new Sinusoidal Cutting technique that creates sharper lines and a more three-dimensional appearance. Each smartphone features a unique Eonic Curves design on the camera lens module, the result of a meticulous 22-day manufacturing process involving 78 complex steps.
At the heart of the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN’s folding mechanism is the Advanced Precision Hinge System. This system utilizes inward and outward folding hinges operating on a dual-track link, ensuring smooth and balanced opening and closing of the device. The smartphone also incorporates Multi-Directional Flexible Materials to enhance the screen’s resistance to bending stress.
The display technology in the new Huawei device is equally impressive. It features a 3K HUAWEI X-True™ Display, capable of seamlessly switching between single, dual, and triple screen modes. This flexibility allows users to adapt the device to various tasks, from quick actions like making calls in single-screen mode to immersive viewing and multitasking in the expansive triple-screen configuration.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the HUAWEI XMAGE imaging system integrated into the device. The camera setup includes a 10-size adjustable physical aperture, catering to a wide range of photography scenarios. Huawei claims the system can capture subjects from distant landscapes to close-up details with exceptional clarity. An Ultra Speed Snapshot feature is also included, designed to capture high-speed motion and fleeting moments.
Huawei positions the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN as a device that pushes the boundaries of foldable phone technology. The company states that this smartphone is the result of continuous investment in research and development, aiming to deliver cutting-edge technology, premium design, and an enhanced user experience.
