Just a few hours after the iPhone 16 was released, Huawei Mate XT, a triple-folding screen phone, also officially made its debut. Many people thought that going head-to-head with Apple on the same day was not a good choice, but facts have proven that Huawei came well-prepared, and their preparations were quite sufficient. Mate XT is indeed eye-catching, and its high level is palpable. Its technological content can be considered the pinnacle of domestic mobile phones, and even in the international market, it is difficult to find competitors that can match it.
Some people often say that science fiction is a prophecy of future reality, and this is well demonstrated by Mate XT. I believe many of you have watched the science fiction series "Westworld" released by HBO in 2016. In the first season, the concept of a triple-folding screen phone appeared. Eight years later, the once-science fiction has finally become a reality. So when you watch some science fiction films, you can enjoy the future world to a certain extent based on the plot. That's a bit of a digression, let's talk about the phone itself.
As the world's first mass-produced triple-folding screen phone, Huawei Mate XT features some functions and configurations that are unprecedented. For example, the camera module uses a star-diamond texture design with up to 78 processes. As a folding screen phone, I personally believe that the hinge is the most important functional configuration. Existing folding screen phones' hinges can only fold inward, but because Mate XT has an additional screen, the hinge needs to bend in the completely opposite direction. Huawei has developed the Tiangong hinge system (with the meaning of superb craftsmanship) for this purpose. The first-time use of multiple new technologies makes the folding sensation of Mate XT extremely smooth.
To make the hinge more durable, the entire hinge's core components are made of 100% rocket steel, which has extremely high deformation resistance. In addition to the hinge, the Mate XT screen is also quite high-end. When the screen is fully unfolded, combined with AI algorithms, the entire screen achieves 3K ultra-high resolution. The official claims that every frame of the image can guarantee extreme clarity, and the 10.2-inch screen is currently the largest folding screen phone.
Folding screen phones are inherently fragile, and triple-folding screens are even more so. Screen protection is of utmost importance. The Mate XT screen adopts a composite super-tough laminated structure, combined with a specially customized screen from BOE and a large UTG glass. While ensuring slimness, it also allows the screen to have considerable toughness and natural protection. As for the usage ecosystem, the official product page also introduces that whether it's single-screen, dual-screen, or triple-screen, good adaptation and optimization have been done in this regard, so there's nothing to worry about.
A large number of AI features further enrich the user experience. In terms of battery life, each screen is equipped with a new architecture silicon-anode battery as thin as 1.9mm, with a total capacity of up to 5600mAh, and supports 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. It's incredible that the unfolded thickness of the entire device is only 3.9mm. To be honest, I don't know how Huawei did it. In terms of imaging capabilities, it is equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera + 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel periscope telephoto + 8-megapixel front camera, so its shooting capabilities should be quite good.
Satellite calls are also available. As for the price, it's much more expensive than previously speculated. There are options of 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB, priced at 19,999 yuan, 21,999 yuan, and 23,999 yuan, respectively. I wonder how many of you here can accept these prices.
