Or 5,620 Twinkies – whatever floats your boat
We’ve been reporting on leaks and official teasers surrounding the tri-folding Huawei Mate XT for several months now, and the dual-hinged, triple-screen phone is finally here.
Huawei launched the Mate XT at a glitzy showcase in the hours following Apple’s iPhone 16 event, confirming that the phone’s OLED display measures 6.4 inches when collapsed and a whopping 10.2 inches when fully unfolded. Of course, Huawei also confirmed the price of its new flagship smartphone at said launch event, and it’s enough to make your eyes water.
The Huawei Mate XT – which is currently only available in China – starts at 19,999 yuan (around $2,810 / £2,150 / AU$4,220) for the model with 256GB of storage. That price rises to 21,999 yuan (around $3,090 / £2,365 / AU$4,645) for the model with 512GB of storage, and higher still to 23,999 yuan (around $3,375 / £2,580 / AU$5,065) for the model with 1TBGB of storage. All three models ship with 16GB of RAM.
For context, the cheapest version of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 – aka the most expensive of the best foldable phones in 2024 – costs $1,899.
