Move over, Apple—Huawei just dropped a tech bombshell! 🔥 The Chinese smartphone giant unveiled the Mate XT, the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, flexing its innovation muscles hours after Apple’s iPhone 16 reveal. With over 3 million preorders already, this foldable powerhouse is turning heads 👀 and sparking debates: Is bigger *really* better?
The Mate XT bends like an accordion 📏, transforming from a pocket-friendly device to a 10.2-inch mini-tablet thinner than a pencil (just 3.6mm!). Huawei’s exec Yu Chengdong boasted about its laptop-like 16:11 screen ratio—perfect for binge-watching without those annoying black bars 🍿. Oh, and it’s powered by a cutting-edge silicon carbide battery thinner than a meme’s lifespan (1.9mm cells!).
But here’s the twist: While the tri-fold design offers single, dual, or triple-screen modes for TikTok multitasking 📱📱📱, analysts warn about lingering creases and battery drain. IDC China’s Guo Tianxiang praised Huawei’s software chops but side-eyed the ‘power-hungry’ screen. And at $2,800, some netizens are joking it costs more than their rent 💸.
With both Huawei and Apple shipping devices September 20, the smartphone wars just got foldier. Will this flex-worthy gadget redefine screens—or fold under pressure? 🤔
