- HUAWEI has unveiled the Mate XTs, with pre-orders now open in China ahead of a September 4 launch.
- Leaker Digital Chat Station claims it will be available in four colors, with 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage.
- HUAWEI remains the only company to have shipped a tri-fold, though the Mate XTs may be available only in China.
We know that the term “tri-fold” might not make much sense, but it’s the name the industry appears to have settled on in the fledgling years of these three-panel foldables. Most brands are still teasing their first such device, but HUAWEI is already preparing to launch its second. We’ve got a closer look at it today, and I must say, it’s rather alluring.
HUAWEI confirmed the new Mate XTs on Weibo, with pre-orders in China opening today and a full launch event set for September 4 at 2:30 PM local time. The teasers have referred to the device as the Extraordinary Master or Ultimate Design, and the latter is printed directly on the phone’s casing, so it’s likely part of the full name. The design itself looks like an evolution of the first Mate XT, with its outward-folding S-style hinge system.
