iPhone 16 Launch In China Faces Big Trouble Because Of This Tri-Fold Smartphone
Last Updated:
Huawei has taken the foldable design to a whole new level
Huawei is showing other foldable brands what innovation really looks like and Apple would be concerned about the new launch in one of its biggest market.
While Apple was flaunting its new AI-powered iPhone 16 series devices in California, the company was facing major trouble in China, one of its biggest iPhone markets. Huawei introduced its tri-fold smartphone in the region on Tuesday, which is nothing like we have seen from the traditional global giants so far.
Apple hasn’t even entered the foldable battle yet, and China, the biggest foldable market, is slowly going away from the Cupertino-based giant. The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Edition takes a smartphone, foldable and triples up into a 10-inch tablet, what’s not to like?
Huawei Mate XT Tri-Fold Design Price
Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Edition tri-fold device is priced at CNY 19,999 (Rs 2.35 lakh approx) for the 16GB and 256GB base model, going up to CNY 23,999 (Rs 2.83 lakh approx) for the highest 1TB model. Huawei is going to follow Apple’s shadow by starting its sale for this device from September 20 onwards.
Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Edition: How Does Tri-Fold Work?
When you unfold the Mate XT Ultimate Edition, it turns into a 7.9-inch foldable and double unfolding gets you a 10.2-inch LTPO OLED panel. The device weighs 298 grams and its standard thickness is 12.8mm which isn’t the lightest.
Huawei is most likely using its in-house 5G chipset to power the device that will bring a host of AI features built in its labs. We do know that the phone comes with ample power thanks to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage.
For imaging, the Mate XT Ultimate Edition carries a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and variable aperture. It also has a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 12MP telephoto periscope lens with OIS. The phone packs a 5600mAh battery which supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds.
