Talking about foldable cell phones today is nothing strange. Virtually every major brand has one, whether in a clamshell format like the Galaxy Z Flip or a book-style format like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. However, there are always companies that want more, and Huawei is one of them.
The Chinese company may have lost a lot of global market share due to the crisis with Android and GMS, but that hasn’t been enough to stop surprising us often. Any proof? They have the best camera phone on the planet (the Pura 70 Ultra), but that pales in comparison to what brings us here today. The reason? Because they just showed up Huawei Mate XT, the first double-folding phone on the planet. Was it something necessary? Let’s see it.

The Huawei Mate XT has not one, but two hinges to easily transform it into a 10-inch tablet
It seems that Huawei wasn’t satisfied with a foldable phone similar to its competitors, so they decided to go further. The Mate XT is a cell phone that transforms into a tabletbecause its two hinges allow it view a huge screen which when closed is like that of any other smartphone.
In fact, the triptych format allows the Mate XT to have a single OLED panel and not two like other foldables. This screen has a file Variable refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz (LTPO)but its size and resolution change depending on the number of folds:
- Triple mode (fully distributed): 10.2” with a resolution of 3184 x 2232 pixels.
- Double mode (single fold): 7.9” with a resolution of 2048 x 2232 pixels.
- Single mode (fully folded): 6.4” with a resolution of 1080 x 2232 pixels.
According to Huawei, Its new hinges reduce bending by up to 25%something that helps keep the thickness at bay (12.8 mm when fully folded, a real milestone for this Tri-fold). Furthermore, The screen is covered by the largest UTG glass on the marketwhich helps improve your stamina.
This is all brilliant in every way, although the Mate XT Ultimate Design exudes quality from every pore. Why do we say this? Because the double hinge screen could be the hook, but It’s also a beautiful phone, with a vegan leather back and gold details. which makes it look brutal. Also, the rest of its features are no small feat, as you will see in the next section.
High-end cameras, the best Huawei chip, satellite connection and HarmonyOS
Regardless of how amazed you were probably by its design and screen, we have to say that Huawei didn’t skimp too much on the rest of the hardware either. of this cell phone.
The processor is the same Kirin 9010 5G as the Pura 70It is accompanied by 16GB of RAM and has up to 1TB of storage space. Of course, The operating system is Harmony OS 4.2which comes with all its AI tools, but is also an optimized version for this new screen format.
The rear cameras are the same as the standard Mate 60, which without being Huawei’s best, are still brutal. An example of this is the 50MP main sensor with XMAGE technology which allows you to vary the focal aperture from f/1.4 to f/4.0.
Furthermore, Equipped with a 12MP telephoto lens with up to 5.5x optical zoom and a 12MP ultra-wide angle with a 120º field of view. The front/internal camera is more modest: an 8MP sensor with f/2.2.
To conclude, you should know that Huawei Mate It has a 5600 mAh battery, 66W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. The charging specifications seem right to us, although we won’t deny that a battery of that size is short for a 10-inch panel. By the way, It also features satellite calling and messaging (in China).
