Meanwhile, competitors such as Samsung, Honor, and Oppo are reportedly developing their own versions of a triple-folding smartphone. Additionally, Tecno recently presented its Phantom Ultimate 2 concept smartphone at IFA 2024 in Berlin, although it has not yet been released to the market.
Huawei is set to hold an Innovative Product Launch event on February 18 in Kuala Lumpur, as indicated by a post on X. The design showcased in the promotional material suggests that the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design will be featured at this event.
Another announcement from the brand confirms that the event will mark the global launch of the triple-folding device. The international version of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is anticipated to retain features similar to those of its Chinese variant.
When fully unfolded, the device boasts a 10.2-inch flexible LTPO OLED display, which reduces to a 7.9-inch screen when folded once, and a 6.4-inch display when folded a second time. It is expected to be powered by a Kirin 9010 chipset and will run on HarmonyOS 4.2, with options for 16GB of RAM.
Storage configurations include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. In terms of photography, the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary rear camera featuring optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 12-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 5.5x optical zoom and OIS. The front-facing camera is an 8-megapixel sensor designed for selfies and video calls.
The device is powered by a 5,600mAh battery, supporting 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a USB 3.1 Type-C port, along with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for enhanced security.
