Huawei’s upcoming tri-fold is called Mate XT

Huawei has been teasing its first tri-fold smartphone for a few weeks now and we finally have a name for the device – Mate XT. Huawei’s Mate series is one of two flagship series from Huawei alongside the Pura series. The Mate series is usually geared towards early adopters and was the first lineup from the brand to feature a foldable device with the Mate X back in 2019.

Mate XT will be part of the Ultimate Design brand which is the highest-end lineup from Huawei and a spiritual successor to the Huawei - Porsche Design partnership which ended back in 2022. The new teaser video suggests Mate XT will feature a focus on video recording with continuous zoom capabilities though there are no specifics just yet. Mate XT is expected to offer a 10-inch screen when fully unfolded.
