In a bold move for foldable tech, the Chinese mainland-based smartphone giant Huawei unveiled the Mate XTs trifold device at a launch in Shenzhen on Thursday.
Priced from 17,999 yuan (about $2,520) for the 16GB+256GB model to 21,999 yuan for the top-tier 1TB version, the Mate XTs aims to redefine what flagship smartphones can do.
According to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, the device runs on the newly returned Kirin 9020 chip alongside HarmonyOS. This software-hardware-cloud synergy promises a 36% overall performance boost, a milestone after the chip's four-year absence.
For business and tech enthusiasts, the Mate XTs offers a glimpse at the future of mobile multitasking, blending expansive storage and high-speed processing. Digital nomads and content creators can leverage the trifold form factor for immersive experiences on the go.
As the Kirin line re-enters the market, the Mate XTs stands at the intersection of innovation and market revival, signaling Huawei's push to lead again in the global smartphone arena.
