MANILA, Philippines (Feb. 2025) — HUAWEI is pushing the boundaries of foldable technology with the launch of the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, the HUAWEI Mate XT. The ultra-thin device features an innovative design that folds both inward and outward, redefining what’s possible in mobile technology.
Set to arrive in the Philippines soon, the Mate XT reflects nearly a decade of HUAWEI’s research into foldable smartphones, combining advanced materials with precision engineering.
A New Standard in Foldable Design
At just 3.6mm thin when unfolded, the HUAWEI Mate XT is among the slimmest foldables on the market. Its tri-fold form factor allows it to collapse into a compact size, with a thickness comparable to two stacked coins when folded. The device achieves this sleek profile with a custom-engineered 5,600mAh battery, measuring only 1.9mm thick.
A signature Star Diamond design, enhanced by Sinusoidal Cutting for defined edges and a refined three-dimensional structure, gives the Mate XT a premium feel. Wrapped in an ultra-thin 0.47mm leather finish and accented by a polished Umber Gold Waistline, the smartphone balances sophistication with durability.
Precision Engineering and Advanced Hinge Technology
The Mate XT introduces a breakthrough in foldable durability with its Advanced Precision Hinge System. Designed to handle both inward and outward folds, the hinge incorporates non-Newtonian fluid materials and a 322cm² ultra-thin glass (UTG) layer to improve impact resistance.
The inner hinge structure features an embedded rail design for strength, while the outer hinge employs a one-piece linkage system for seamless operation. A Multi-Drive Precision Tuning mechanism, supported by 26 precision cams, ensures smooth folding with an optimized opening force curve. Built with aerospace-grade fiber and ultra-high-strength steel—rated for 1,900 MPa deformation resistance—the Mate XT is engineered for longevity.
Pocketable PC, Tablet, and Phone in One
The HUAWEI Mate XT adapts to different usage needs with its flexible display modes:
- Single Screen Mode: Functions as a 6.4-inch smartphone (2232×1008 resolution) for everyday tasks.
- Dual Screen Mode: Expands to 7.9 inches for multitasking, document reading, and split-screen browsing.
- Triple Screen Mode: Fully unfolds to a 10.2-inch display for immersive entertainment, remote work, and productivity.
With a 16:11 aspect ratio and 92% screen-to-body ratio, the Mate XT’s 3K HUAWEI X-True™ Display delivers vivid colors, high contrast, and sharp detail in both portrait and landscape orientations. AI-powered antenna optimization enhances connectivity, adjusting to grip positions for stronger signal performance.
