It folds here, and there too
The Huawei Mate XT is the first triple folding that is marketed (although, for now, it only does it in China). To understand what it does, it is necessary to understand how their screens work. This phone has a fairly particular hinge system.
Folded
Deployed 2/3 parts.
Bum with the deployed.
The panel, with a total of 10.2 inches, It folds both in and out. Thus, it achieves a conventional opening when we pass from 6.4 inches to 7.4 inches, and an extra (we pass from the screen bent inward to take it out) that carries it at 10.2 inches, with a complete resolution of 3K.
The unit we have been able to try was very, very mistreated, and the fold presented some visible wear. The big doubt is what will happen in usual use, as the months of use go by.
The fold inward is the most visible.
According to Huawei, this panel is 25% more resistant than previous models, the inner fold resists compression forces, and the exterior of voltage. A structure of UTG glassan ultrafine and flexible crystal.
But we are going to what we are going to. Is this a bizarl or is the future of folding? In my opinion, it is neither one thing nor the other, but of course it is closer to being something surprisingly useful than of conceptual madness.
This huawei mate xt has the best of Huawei Mate X6: When it is not folded, it looks like a normal phone (with a very comfortable appearance relationship). When we display it in the mode of 7.4 inches, it is like being using a “normal” folding, and when we literally display it a tablet. Of course, with the particularity that only 298 grams weighs. It may seem a lot of weight for a phone, but when distributed on an area of 16cm, nothing heavy is done. By the way, the displayed thickness is just over 3cm, an absolute madness.
Adapted software and level hardware
It is of little use to have so many formats on a single phone if the software does not accompany. The little we have been able to try from Harmonyos executing in this mate xt we liked. Huawei has worked so that, whatever the position of the screen (including using it vertically), the software adapts the best possible.
Of course, it will depend on the developers themselves that the apps end up working well or not, but even services such as YouTube or Maps (executed on the web, this phone does not have Google services), they worked perfectly without application in different formats.
Regarding hardware, this phone incorporates a Kirin 9010 new niche, taking advantage of the 100% national technology that China has achieved to feed beasts like this or her brother the Huawei Mate 70 Pro. It is, yes, a processor with 4G connectivity, and equivalent to a Qualcomm soc of a couple of years ago.
The base memory is 256 + 16 GB, with maximum 16 GB configuration of RAM and 1 TB of storage. The battery that feeds this beast is 5,600mah, a figure perhaps something low considering that we talk about a phone with more than 10 inches. The fast charging is 66W, with a 50W wireless.
They have also wanted to take care of the cameras, with a 50 MP main sensor with variable opening, 12 MP telephoto and ultra wide angle also 12. We have not been able to try the camera, but Huawei promises us an experience similar to that of the X6. The photographic section is something they have wanted to take care of and that, as they tell us, is quite careless in the territory of the folding.
A brutal concept, for which I can pay it
This phone has no release date in Europe, although it will arrive. What it does are price: nothing less than 3,499 euros For the 1 TB and 16 GB version of RAM. It is a niche product, the most exclusive within folding territory and, the first of its species. All this … is paid.
