Huaweitriple folding smartphoneLast featured Dec 2025

Huawei Mate XT

Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.

A genuinely impressive triple-fold design that makes foldables more useful, but it is fragile, heavy, very expensive and held back by dated Huawei tech and software.

What I liked

  • Z-fold allows using one, two or three panels
  • Single folding display and lighter
  • Extra fold gives tablet-sized screen
  • Incredibly thin at 3.6 mm unfolded
  • Flexible ways to use three screens
  • Good camera for a foldable

What I didn't

  • Heavy at 300 g
  • Fragile hinges and screen
  • Repair costs around $11,000 for the screen
  • Dated chip and software limits

In my words

    Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold Unboxing!

    Huawei's earlier tri-fold did some things better, with a Z-fold allowing one, two or three screen sections, and a single folding display.
