Huawei Unveils Global Launch Date for Tri-Fold Mate XT Ultimate: Leading the Tech Curve

The foldable smartphone market is rapidly evolving, marked by an increasing number of manufacturers exploring innovative designs and form factors. While Samsung has long been recognized as a trailblazer in this space, Huawei is carving out its own niche and gaining traction. Notably, Huawei made headlines by launching the Mate XT Ultimate Design last year, the first of its kind with a tri-fold feature, setting a precedent in the industry.

As the foldable market advances, the concept of a tri-fold device is emerging as a game-changer. Samsung is also eyeing a tri-fold release, slated for 2025. However, it was Huawei that first brought a tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT Ultimate, to market in September 2024 within China. Following extensive anticipation surrounding global availability, Huawei has now officially announced its worldwide launch timeline.

In a recent announcement shared via X (formerly known as Twitter), Huawei released a teaser video showcasing the Mate XT Ultimate alongside the upcoming Mate X6, both set for launch in 2025. The video concluded with the announcement of an innovative product launch event scheduled for February 18, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While full details on pricing and the specific countries where the tri-fold will be available remain undisclosed, the revelation of the global launch date certainly builds excitement for its broader release.

The impending global release of the Mate XT Ultimate is poised to significantly impact the foldable phone landscape, potentially accelerating the introduction of other tri-fold devices by competing brands. The innovative design has generated considerable interest among consumers, and although sales outcomes in new markets remain to be seen, the device has already experienced high demand in China, prompting the company to adjust shipment projections accordingly. It is anticipated that Huawei will maintain a premium price point of around $2, 800, with further specific information expected to follow as the device becomes more widely accessible.
