Huawei has finally launched world’s first ever tri-fold smartphone

Huawei has officially introduced the world’s first-ever tri-foldable smartphone as a ‘quasi-response’ to iPhone’s latest flagship series. Despite being faced with sanctions all over, the Chinese company is now on the redemption arc – making headlines everywhere with over 2.5 million pre-orders from their official website. In this article, we’ll discuss everything about the latest Huawei Mate XT, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and features. 

Huawei Mate XT Overview

Display and Design

The Huawei Mate XT features three screen modes. When folded once, it provides a 6.4-inch display with a resolution of 2232 x 1008 pixels. Unfolding it further creates a 7.9-inch dual screen at 2232 x 2048 pixels. When fully unfolded, the device transforms into a 10.2-inch display with a 2232 x 3184 resolution.

Additionally, the phone uses an OLED LTPO panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. It also offers 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, designed to reduce flickering.

Performance and Battery

The Mate XT is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 9-series chip, paired with 16GB of RAM. Storage options range from 256GB to 1TB. 

In addition, the phone comes with a 5,600mAh battery. It supports 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, allowing for quick recharges.

Camera and Features

The device features a rear triple camera setup. This includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a variable aperture (f/1.4~f/4.0), a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP periscope telephoto lens with OIS. On the front, there is an 8MP camera for selfies.

Furthermore, the phone includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB-C (3.1 Gen1) port. It also supports dual SIM, and Wi-Fi, and comes equipped with an IR blaster.
