HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Design official: Tri-fold phone that opens into a 10.2″ 3K OLED screen


After teasers, HUAWEI has officially introduced the Mate XT | Ultimate Design, as the world’s first smartphone with a tri-fold screen in production, after teasers. This has a 6.4-inch FHD+ screen when folded, 7.9-inch 2K screen when open half, and when fully open it transforms into a 10.2-inch tablet with a 3K screen. When fully open, it is just 3.6mm.

This uses an 90Hz LTPO OLED screen with 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a maximum touch sampling rate of 240 Hz. The screen is made of multi-directional bending flexible materials, resistant to bending that has been increased by 25% compared to traditional foldables.  The inner fold resists compression, and the outer fold resists tension, said the company.

It features a composite ultra-tough laminated structure, using non-Newtonian fluid and the industry’s largest UTG glass offering double impact resistance and provides reliable protection, said HUAWEI.

It has XMAGE imaging featuring a 50MP 1/1.56″ main camera with variable aperture ranging from f/1.4 to f/4.0, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle and 12MP 5.5x periscope telephoto rear camera. There is an 8MP camera on the inside.

The phone packs a 5600mAh world’s thinnest silicon carbon large-capacity battery with a battery thickness of only 1.9mm, said HUAWEI. It supports 66W wired fast charging, 50W wireless fast charging. The SoC is not revealed, but it is expected to use Kirin 9000 chip.

HUAWEI also introduced a foldable touch keyboard that can be paired with the Mate XT to provide a desktop PC-like experience.
