world’s first commercial tri-fold smartphone launches
The world’s first commercial tri-fold smartphone, the Huawei Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, will be available worldwide, the company announced this month (Feb. 2025). As the business starts a new phase of foldable innovation, the launch exemplifies the Unfold the Classic theme, allowing users all across the world to get a firsthand look at the future. Huawei’s pioneering spirit is evident in the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, which is the result of the company’s leadership in product design and ongoing investment in research.
Extraordinary Technology: Leading Innovation and Research
The Huawei Mate XT ULTIMATE DESIGN uses a number of remarkable innovations, such as the Advanced Precision Hinge System and the large tri-fold screen, to create a product that is genuinely revolutionary. It has the first-ever Advanced Precision Hinge System, which uses a dual-track link to control inward and outward folding hinges. This guarantees a smooth and balanced opening and closing.
In addition to being the first commercial foldable, the smartphone includes a revolutionary Trifold Display and innovative Multi-Directional Flexible Materials that significantly improve the screen’s resistance to bending.
Extraordinary Experience: Power Packed into One
The ultimate design of the Huawei Mate XT exists in three different forms: single, dual, and triple screens. It is the largest folding smartphone in the world, with a single screen measuring 6.4 inches, a dual screen measuring 7.9 inches, and a triple screen at 10.2 inches [1].
The 3K Huawei X-TrueTM Display is another feature of the smartphone. The Multiview in One experience allows for smooth transitions between single, dual, and triple screen modes, redefining the potential of a smartphone display.
The large screen in triple screen mode allows for immersive viewing and simplifies multitasking. The phone is perfect for information browsing, including reading articles and checking emails, when it is folded into dual screen mode. It can also be folded down to a single screen mode at will, dealing with quick tasks such as calling or photography.
Extraordinary Photography: Capturing Life’s Greatest Wonders
The smartphone’s small design and 10-size physical aperture allow it to accommodate a variety of photography situations. It also has superior HUAWEI XMAGE imaging capabilities.
It also enables users to record a wide variety of views and scenes, from distant mountains to minute insects and flowers, capturing every last detail with flawless clarity. Additionally, the camera system has Ultra Speed Snapshot, which retains ephemeral moments and captures the beauty of subjects in high-speed action.
Unfold the Classic, Unfold a New Paradigm
With the Huawei Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, work and play are now more accessible and immersive while on the go, elevating the smartphone user experience to new levels. Pushing the limits of what is feasible for a foldable phone, this first-ever commercial triple folding phone [2] is the direct consequence of Huawei’s unwavering efforts to establish a genuinely premium brand by simultaneously delivering cutting-edge technologies, beautiful design, and a premium experience.
