HUAWEI has officially started shipping its highly anticipated Mate XT Ultimate, the company’s first-ever tri-fold smartphone, in China. If you were wondering whether this cutting-edge device would ever see a release beyond China’s borders, there’s good news! HUAWEI has now confirmed that the Mate XT Ultimate will launch globally in Q1 2025.
HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Going Global
The HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate is set to make waves across international markets, following its initial release in China earlier this year. Priced at CNY 19,999 (approximately $2,800 or €2,550), it is already among the most premium tech gadgets available in China. With global release, however, the price could exceed $3,000 or €3,000 due to regional price adjustments and taxes.
While the high price tag might be daunting, it’s important to remember that this is first-generation technology. The tri-fold design alone represents a major leap in the smartphone industry, allowing for an expanded display and versatility that no other device currently offers. HUAWEI has truly outdone itself in pushing hardware innovation, and early hands-on impressions of the Mate XT Ultimate have been overwhelmingly positive.
We had the opportunity to get a feel of the device, and we were thoroughly impressed by its build quality and the potential that tri-fold smartphones could unlock in the near future. The Mate XT Ultimate’s design allows users to experience new ways of multitasking, consuming content, and even gaming.
As HUAWEI prepares for the global launch of the Mate XT Ultimate in early 2025, many are eager to see how it will be received outside of China. The high cost, while a challenge for some, may be justified for tech enthusiasts and professionals looking to experience the next generation of foldable technology.
Pokdepinion: This could very well be the most expensive non-special edition smartphone to ever launch, and I’m quite excited to see it in person.
