Huawei shook up the foldable game on Thursday in Shenzhen, the Chinese mainland, with its latest Mate XTs trifold smartphone. This isn’t just another fancy flip—it’s the official comeback of Huawei’s homegrown Kirin chip 🎉.
What’s new?
The Mate XTs packs the Kirin 9020 chipset alongside HarmonyOS. Huawei’s Consumer Business Group boss Richard Yu says the software-hardware-cloud synergy here delivers a slick 36% boost in overall performance. Translation? Faster apps, smoother multitasking, and longer battery life so you can binge-watch K-dramas or game on the go without missing a beat.
Trifold design
Think foldables are only a single or dual fold? Mate XTs flips the script with three panels that open into a mini tablet—perfect for those epic Insta Reels or editing your next vlog. When it’s closed, it slips into your pocket like a regular phone. Talk about having your cake 🍰 and eating it too.
Price & availability
Huawei’s pricing starts at 17,999 yuan (roughly $2,520) for the 16GB+256GB model, going up to 21,999 yuan for the 1TB variant. No word yet on regional rollout, but keep an eye on your local carriers.
In fast-paced cities from Mumbai to Manila, having a device that handles work, entertainment, and social feeds in one swipe is a game-changer 💥.
Whether you’re a mobile gamer, content creator, or just love staying ahead of the tech curve, the Mate XTs is a trifold that demands a closer look. Stay tuned for hands-on reviews and real-world tests—we’ll keep you posted!
