Now, Huawei has officially launched the Mate XT Ultimate Design in China, and a demonstration video has gone viral on the Internet, showing what the world’s first dual-folding three-screen phone looks like under real-world conditions.
Multiple unboxing videos show that Huawei Mate XT is in the unfolded state when it leaves the factory, with a thickness of only 3.6 mm (approximately 0.14 inches) at its thinnest point, which is thinner than the 5.1 mm (approximately 0.2 inches) of Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. When fully folded, the Mate XT measures 12.8 mm (about 0.5 inches), which is a bit thicker than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 10.1 mm (about 0.39 inches) and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 12.1 mm.
Practical comments from Gizmodo China Indicates that the monitor can be used to view multiple application windows simultaneously and can be resized to a custom configuration. The Mate XT also comes with a dedicated phone case that protects the device when folded and doubles as a stand when folded and unfolded, holding it upright.
A small loading wheel was briefly visible in some videos when the phone transitioned from single to dual-screen mode, but the display seemed responsive enough when switching between horizontal and vertical orientations. An obvious complaint can be seen in the video shared Android Authority The display crease on both hinges is very noticeable at certain angles and lighting, which may disappoint some people – although that’s not surprising given the current state of foldable displays. However, when viewed directly, they appear to be difficult to notice.
