The Huawei Mate XT was officially unveiled at IFA 2024 in Berlin. We know (almost) everything about the world’s first triple-foldable smartphone.
To say that I was waiting for the premiere of the Huawei Mate XT is like saying nothing. I had been following the leaks about the world’s first foldable smartphone for some time. The manufacturer was very secretive and guarded secrets, because there was nothing known about the specifications.
It all started with a photo that someone took of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group CEO Yu Richard, holding the new device in his hands. And that was basically it. Just before IFA 2024, Huawei officially confirmed the smartphone’s existence, name, short teaser, and presentation date. Zero information on components, availability, and price. And so, on September 10, 2024, we learned (almost) the full specifications of the Huawei Mate XT.
Huawei Mate XT – Official Specifications

Huawei Mate XT consists of three LTPO OLED screens. The first one – 6.4″ has a resolution of 2232 x 1008 pixels. When we open the second panel, we get a 7.9″ display with a resolution of 2332 x 2048 pixels. When all three are unfolded, they give us a 10.2″ screen with a resolution of 2232 x 3184.
I have to admit – it makes an impression. The three-fold design will allow the user to enjoy the comfort of multitasking. For example – on the lower screen we will turn on the keyboard, on the middle – the text editor, on the upper – the website and YouTube or Spotify. We can also set the smartphone in the “tent” position, thanks to which we will create a stand. Stable watching of movies or video conferences will be extremely convenient.
The specification itself is one of the most flagship components in smartphones. Inside you will find 16 GB of RAM and 256, 512 GB or 1 TB of data space. The rear camera features a 50 MP matrix with a variable aperture and optical image stabilization. The 12 MP telephoto lens has a 5.5x optical zoom in the specification, and the wide-angle sensor is 12 MP. The photographic background is complemented by a 12 MP selfie camera.
The price of Huawei Mate XT knocks you off your feet!

The smartphone is characterized by a 5600 mAh battery that can be charged wired at 66 W and wirelessly at 50 W. There is also 7.5W reverse charging. The manufacturer boasted about almost everything. Unfortunately, he did not provide information on which processor the Huawei Mate XT will work.
I didn’t really believe in the presentation of the finished product this year. Hats off to you. Not only was the Huawei Mate XT shown in its final version, but the Chinese premiere will take place on September 20, 2024. Pre-sales are underway and the manufacturer can already talk about a success it didn’t expect.
Reservations were opened earlier and before the product was officially presented, it attracted the interest of as many as 3 million customers. Currently, 4.5 million fans of mobile technology have placed an order and it looks like it’s not over yet. Huawei planned to produce 1 million units.
Huawei Mate XT already has 4.5 million reservations
Considering the lack of knowledge of customers about the specifications, such a huge number of reservations may be surprising. On the other hand, however, it is a technological novelty and equipment that has not been on the market before. Despite the fact that we already know the price, the number of customers is not decreasing. It was speculated that the phone will cost around PLN 10,000.
We know the prices of the Galaxy Tab S10+. Keyboard with a new button
Nothing could be further from the truth. Sit still, take a breath. Huawei Mate XT will cost approximately PLN 20,000! High price, but new technologies always cost a lot. Whether the smartphone will hit the Polish market – it is not known, but to be honest – it is very doubtful.
