Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design: the tri-fold that proved it could be done

A genuine engineering milestone, hamstrung by no Google services and an eye-watering price. First to the tri-fold The Mate XT got there first: a phone that folds twice into a roughly 10-inch display, via a dual-hinge mechanism that is remarkable to handle. Unfolded, at around 3.6 mm, it is absurdly thin. Why most people cannot use it Outside China it is a curiosity, no Google apps, a price around €3,499, thin global support. But it set the template that Samsung’s Z TriFold now follows, and it deserves credit for going first. The verdict: Historically important, practically unbuyable for most. The tri-fold era started here. Sources GSMArena specifications
