This is the foldable Huawei phone: with over 10″ in size and a price over $3,000


A few days ago we talked about how Huawei wanted to surprise the world with a phone that folds three times. The idea isn’t as new as it seems, given that others have tried this before, but Huawei wanted to make a statement with a functional and beautiful model. And boy did they accomplish it.

In China, the prices of the Mate XT Ultimate Design start at $2,809 for the 256 GB storage model. As mentioned in The Verge: that’s $300 more than a new 16-inch MacBook Pro.

All models come with 16 GB of RAM, and there are two additional storage variants available that cost $3,089 for 512 GB and about $3,370 for 1 TB. Chinese retailer Vmall reported 3.7 million pre-orders before the price was announced.

Huawei Mate XT Specifications: screen, processor, battery…

The Huawei Mate XT features a dual reverse hinge design that folds into a Z shape, allowing it to be used in various formats. The OLED display measures 6.4 inches when fully folded as a traditional single-screen device.

And when fully unfolded, the screen expands to an impressive 10.2 inches (2,232 x 3,184) and can still be used when partially unfolded in a smaller 7.9-inch configuration. Unfolded, it’s like a large tablet, folded it’s like a compact smartphone.

The device comes with a 5,600 mAh battery (hopefully it’s enough for such a big screen) and supports 66W wired charging or 50W wireless charging. There is a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 12-megapixel periscope camera.

We hope they sell it outside of China, but it seems that it will be difficult for Huawei to venture beyond its borders with this niche and expensive phone.
