Huawei has once again pushed the boundaries of smartphone design with the Huawei Mate XT, its most ambitious foldable yet. While it is currently available only in China, this futuristic device has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts worldwide due to its triple-screen foldable display, powerful hardware, and versatile camera system. The Mate XT is not just another foldable – it is an engineering showcase of what Huawei believes is the future of smartphones.
Design & Dimensions
The Huawei Mate XT introduces an innovative triple-screen form factor that can be used in three different modes:
- Single screen mode – 6.4-inch compact smartphone style
- Dual screen mode – 7.9-inch unfolded tablet-like experience
- Triple screen mode – a massive 10.2-inch display for maximum productivity and entertainment
Despite this complex design, Huawei has managed to keep the weight around 298 g (306 g with screen protector), which is quite balanced for such a unique device. The phone’s dimensions vary depending on how many screens are in use – making it one of the most flexible foldables we’ve seen so far.
Display Technology
Huawei has equipped the Mate XT with OLED panels that support 1.07 billion colors, a 90 Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 1440 Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for eye comfort. The displays also feature up to 240 Hz touch sampling rate, ensuring smooth interactions whether you’re scrolling, gaming, or multitasking.
The resolution changes based on mode:
- Single screen: 2232 × 1008 pixels
- Dual screen: 2232 × 2048 pixels
- Triple screen: 2232 × 3184 pixels
With 382 PPI density, the Mate XT provides crisp visuals in every mode, making it ideal for media consumption, productivity, and immersive gaming.
Performance & Software
The Mate XT runs on Huawei’s EMUI 14.2, offering fluid animations, smart multitasking features, and enhanced privacy tools. Memory won’t be an issue, as the device packs a massive 16 GB RAM along with 512 GB or 1 TB of storage. There’s no option for external memory, but the internal configuration should be more than enough for power users and professionals.
Camera System
Huawei’s focus on photography continues with the Mate XT, which boasts a triple rear camera setup:
- 50 MP Ultra Aperture Camera (f/1.4 – f/4.0, OIS)
- 12 MP Ultra-Wide Camera (f/2.2)
- 12 MP Periscope Telephoto Camera (f/3.4, OIS, 5.5x optical zoom, 50x digital zoom)
The primary sensor supports adjustable aperture and advanced stabilization, giving users creative control in low light, portraits, and landscapes. The periscope lens provides powerful zoom capabilities, while the ultra-wide camera is perfect for expansive shots.
The rear cameras can shoot photos up to 8192 × 6144 resolution and record videos in 4K (3840 × 2160). Camera features include Ultra Speed Snapshot, Night Mode, Super Macro, Dual-View Video, Light Painting, Story Creator, Pro mode, and more – making it a versatile camera system for both casual users and creators.
On the front, Huawei has opted for an 8 MP selfie camera (f/2.2) that supports 4K video recording and modes like HDR Vivid, Night, Portrait, Slow-Motion Selfie, and Panorama.
Battery & Charging
Powering the device is a 5600 mAh battery, which is impressive given its foldable form factor. Charging support is equally strong:
- Wired Huawei SuperCharge – up to 66 W
- Wireless Huawei SuperCharge – up to 50 W
This ensures that users can quickly recharge and continue using the Mate XT without long downtimes. Huawei also offers compatible wireless chargers and car chargers for added convenience.
Connectivity & Features
The Huawei Mate XT supports dual SIM 4G networks, advanced Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with MU-MIMO, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C (USB 3.1), and NFC for wireless payments.
Location services include support for GPS, AGPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and India’s NavIC, ensuring accurate navigation worldwide.
The device also comes packed with multiple sensors like gesture sensor, gravity sensor, fingerprint sensor, gyroscope, infrared, compass, barometer, proximity sensor, and laser sensor for a complete flagship experience.
Durability
Huawei has rated the Mate XT with IPX8 water resistance, meaning it can handle splashes and accidental immersion. While it doesn’t carry full dust protection like IP68 devices, its water resistance is still a big advantage for a foldable of this size.
Audio & Multimedia
For media lovers, the Mate XT supports Huawei Histen sound technology and stereo speakers. It offers a wide range of audio and video format compatibility, including MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, MP4, and 3GP – ensuring a great multimedia experience on its large flexible screens.
Final Thoughts
The Huawei Mate XT is a revolutionary foldable that combines innovation, premium design, and powerful performance in a single package. With its triple-screen versatility, 50MP ultra-aperture camera system, massive 5600 mAh battery, and flagship hardware, it pushes the boundaries of what a smartphone can be.
Currently, the Huawei Mate XT is available only in China, and there is no official confirmation about its global or Indian launch. But if Huawei brings this foldable to more markets, it could redefine how we use smartphones and tablets in the future.
