Huawei has just launched the Mate XT, the world’s first tri-fold smartphone which is impressive in every way.

    Huawei has already opened up sales of the Mate XT in China – it’s unlikely it will be sold elsewhere – with a starting price of ¥19999. That’s roughly $2,800 USD, making this device cost about $1,000 more than many book-style foldables available today.

    10 inches and 16:11 aspect ratio! ITS SO CLOSE, I want it so bad!

    While we’re here, who has bets on the first quad folding phone?

    Isn’t it gonna get scratched by just being in the pocket? One segment is not protected at all.

        Sure but rigid phone screens are way more durable than folding ones

        This is a lot more prone to scratches. It’s like the first foldable from Huawei, very pretty but too expensive just to be damaged by looking at it funny
