With the latter, the company hopes to attract attention in an increasingly competitive sector, particularly against Apple and Samsung.

The Mate XT will officially launch on September 10, the same day Apple unveils its iPhone 16. With a 10 inch screenthis phone foldable in three promises a 50% larger display area than traditional foldables. Despite its large screen, the phone remains very thin, measuring approximately 5 mm when folded.

Rumors indicate that the Mate XT could feature a silicon-carbon battery. This offers better battery life despite a slightly longer charging time. In terms of price, it could be offered at 14,900 yuan (around 1,880 euros). The model will be available in limited quantities and in several colors, including brown and gold versions.
