The recent unveiling of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design has already been generating buzz, especially with its unique foldable display. However, there are concerns about the repair costs associated with this innovation. Details of these hefty fees reveal the financial stakes that users may have to consider.
This week, Huawei introduced the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design, which quickly attracted a lot of interest in the smartphone world thanks to its triple design. For the first time in the world, the device’s screen folds three times and the repair costs of the Mate XT Ultimate have now been announced. The price will surprise you.
While the technological advancement is impressive, the costs associated with repairs can deter many people from experimenting with these innovations. Huawei’s all-new triple-folding phone is no exception. Despite its attractive foldable display, the revealed repair costs could make many users reconsider their choice.
As the world’s first triple-decker phone, the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate comes with a hefty price tag of around €2,500. The repair costs for the display, battery, and panel have already been revealed. Of course, given its price, these repairs won’t be cheap.
Let’s start with the display: repairing the foldable screen will cost around €1,013. However, if you buy the phone during a sale, you could pay up to €5,050 in the first year for a one-time screen replacement.
For repairs of the motherboard of this Huawei, the cost is 1,155 euros, while the battery is relatively more affordable, at 63 euros. Repair of the main rear panel with the camera lens will cost 174 euros, and repairs of the other two panels will cost 49 euros each.
If there are problems with the cameras, the repair costs are as follows: the telephoto camera for 73 euros, the selfie camera for 48 euros, the main camera for 95 euros and the ultra wide-angle camera for 33 euros.
As is common in these cases, it is important to take into account some factors. The screen is undoubtedly the most expensive element of this combination. Being the first smartphone of this type, this naturally makes the parts more expensive. At the same time, the more standard elements in a smartphone are at a normal and accessible price, even for a phone costing more than 2,500 euros.
