Huawei is preparing to make another significant announcement, and this time around, it appears that the long-awaited Huawei Mate XT is ready to hit global markets. As we reported on our last blog, after hosting a global launch event for another flagship device, Huawei has scheduled an event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on February 18th. While the brand hasn't explicitly revealed what's coming, the teaser image shared on X features a glowing 'Z' pattern, strongly hinting at the arrival of the Huawei Mate XT.
The Huawei Mate XT was launched for the very first time in China last September 2023. Being the world's first commercially available tri-folding smartphone, it now looks like its introduction will be done in Malaysia before going into international markets. Apart from Malaysia, the Mate XT may go to other territories since it just recently gained TDRA certification in the UAE. This implies that Huawei has something big planned for its new foldable invention in terms of market release.
Huawei Mate XT Specs
Huawei has been at the forefront of foldable technology, and the Mate XT takes it to a whole new level. Unlike other foldable phones, which are based on a single hinge mechanism, the Mate XT uses a tri-folding design that allows for a transformation between different screen sizes.
Let's dive into the specifications of the global variant of the Huawei Mate XT and see what it has in store for us:
Display
Advanced display technology is probably one of the standout features of Huawei Mate XT. It sports a 6.4-inch cover display, which allows for handling lots of quick tasks and one-handed use. When unfolded, it becomes a 7.9-inch 2K dual display to provide lots of space for multitasking and media consumption. Its real game-changer is the 10.2-inch OLED panel using the screen to display with a resolution of 3K, turning the phone into a near-tablet experience, perfect for productivity and entertainment.
For improved user comfort, Huawei has installed 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming on the Mate XT to minimize eye strain and provide a smoother display. Moreover, with a 240Hz touch sampling rate, touch interactions are highly responsive.
Such a revolutionary multi-directional bending display is built of flexible materials enhancing the solidness of the durability of this device. Huawei said that its Mate XT shows resistance to bending by 25% more than traditional foldables. It is a robust choice for users who wish for long-lasting foldable phones.
Camera
The Huawei Mate XT is designed to impress, mainly in photography. It features a 50MP primary camera equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for extra-sharp shots. Whether one wants to snap breathtaking landscapes or fit everyone in a group shot, the 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens has it all covered. The need to zoom in without quality loss? It sports a 12MP periscope telephoto sensor with 5.5x zoom and OIS for sharp close-up shots, and the 8MP front camera is great for selfies and video calls. In this regard, the Mate XT is one of the best foldable phones around for photography enthusiasts.
Battery and Charging
The huge, 5,600 mAh battery of the Huawei Mate XT could even last you the whole day without worrying. And if you do need to top it off, 66W wired will get you back up to full speed in no time, or use 50W wireless and enjoy cable-free hassle-free ease. This great battery and speed-charging capability means that the Mate XT is built to keep up with your day, no matter how demanding it is.
Performance and Memory
The global variant of the Huawei Mate XT is likely to have the same hardware as the Chinese variant. This will include the Kirin 9010 5G chipset, which will offer seamless performance and efficient power management.
The device will also boast 16GB of RAM for smooth multitasking and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, offering users enough space for their files, apps, and media.
Software and Connectivity
This Huawei Mate XT is equipped with HarmonyOS 4.2; hence, the user interface is optimized based on foldable performance. Productivity and multitasking features are enhanced so that one can use several apps on the large display easily.
The connectivity features include:
5G SA/NSA for ultra-fast network speeds
Dual 4G VoLTE for enhanced call quality
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 LE for seamless wireless connectivity
GPS, NavIC, and NFC for navigation and contactless transactions
USB Type-C for fast data transfer and charging
Huawei Mate XT Global Price
Though the global pricing for the Mate XT is not available from Huawei, we can infer some information about it from the Chinese pricing. The base variant starts at CNY 19,999 or approximately Rs 2.4 lakh. There may be slight variations in price due to regional taxes and import duties when the device is released globally.
The Huawei Mate XT is pushing limits with what a foldable smartphone can be. The tri-folding design, hard hardware, and premium camera setup make it one among the few options in foldable devices. Ahead of its event scheduled on February 18, all will look forward to Kuala Lumpur in the hope that Mate XT could set another foldable standard.
