UAE 19 February 2025 – Every technology has its defining milestones, moments that push the boundaries of what’s possible. In 2025, the HUAWEI Mate XT is setting a new standard for smartphones.

As the world’s first-ever commercial triple-foldable device, it’s redefining what it means to be a smartphone. This groundbreaking innovation represents the pinnacle of foldable technology. It’s luxurious, cutting-edge, and full of world-firsts. It boasts the largest display ever seen in a smartphone, an astonishingly thin profile, the most complex smartphone hinge to date, and so on.

Here’s the thing, don’t bother asking if the high price tag is worth it, because there’s nothing else like it on the market. You’re not comparing this to any other device, the Mate XT stands alone. If you’re after the most cutting-edge, jaw-dropping smartphone, then this is it. 

Extraordinary Design: Stunning Aesthetics

The HUAWEI Mate XT is the world’s largest foldable smartphone, but it is also the thinnest, with a remarkable thickness of just 3.6mm when fully unfolded. This slim profile is paired with an elegant design that seamlessly blends innovation and style.

Its camera module design inherits the iconic symmetric Star Diamond pattern, a hallmark of Huawei’s ULTIMATE DESIGN lineup. This design features a new Sinusoidal Cutting technique, featuring sharper lines and a more three-dimensional structure that exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship.

Each device boasts the unique Eonic Curves on the camera lens module, giving every smartphone a distinctive, signature look. Achieved through 22 days of meticulous craftsmanship and 78 complex processes, each lens module is one-of-a-kind, making every device uniquely yours. 

On the back it uses an ultra-thin leather, which measures just 0.47mm thick, presenting a subtle yet luxurious material grain. Available in two classic colours, Black and Red, this ultra-thin leather is crafted from ultra-light, ultra-strong aerospace-grade fiber, offering both durability and elegance. 

Power of Three Screens

The HUAWEI Mate XT features the 3K HUAWEI X-True Display, delivering clear, realistic visuals with exceptional colour accuracy and balanced highlight-shadow details. It offers three distinct screen configurations: the Single Screen, Dual Screen, and Triple Screen.

The Single Screen measures 6.4 inches, the Dual Screen spans 7.9 inches, and the Triple Screen is a 10.2-inch display. When fully unfolded, you get a massive and vibrant 3K display, the size of a tablet. The HUAWEI Mate XT boasts an ultra-high 92% screen-to-body ratio and peak brightness of up to 1800 nits. It also supports 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate.

Ultra Aperture XMAGE Camera

The HUAWEI Mate XT is the first foldable smartphone to support a 10-size Adjustable Physical Aperture. This F/1.4-F/4.0 Adjustable Aperture, controlled by a ring-shaped magnetic motor, features a 6-blade, 18-sided design for precise control over light.

In addition to this, the Mate XT features an ultra-wide camera and a 5.5X telephoto camera. Despite its ultra-slim design, the Mate XT delivers an exceptional photography experience. With the powerful Adjustable Physical Aperture module, Macro Telephoto camera, and cutting-edge technologies like Ultra Speed Snapshot, it ensures a seamless and high-quality photography experience unlike any other.

Extraordinary Hinge System

Engineering the world’s first tri-fold requires some breakthroughs in the hinge technology as well. Making the display fold both inward and outward at the same time without making the phone look massive isn’t as easy as it looks.

The new hinge system helped to reduce thickness by 23%, creating a sleek, lightweight design. Huawei had to make some innovations to make sure that hinge works smoothly every time. The opening and closing feel balanced, and its strong steel hinge material is pretty durable for daily use.

Large battery

The HUAWEI Mate XT features the world’s thinnest large-capacity silicon anode battery, just 1.9mm thick. Despite its unbelievably slim profile, it packs a 5600mAh battery, offering more power than many flagship smartphones. What’s more, it supports HUAWEI SuperCharge, including 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 7.5W wireless reverse charging.

The HUAWEI Mate XT is a leap into the future, as the world’s first-ever triple-foldable smartphone. This could very well be a defining milestone in the evolution of foldable tech.

This is also the only smartphone that can double as a tablet and can even be used like a laptop with one screen folded. It is a smartphone that can simplify your digital life.
