The Mate XT, when fully opened, delivers a sizable 10.2-inch display. While Samsung is supposed to release its own Galaxy G tri-fold with a 6.49-inch cover screen, the Mate XT opens and closes both inward and outward which means that a 6.4-inch section is exposed at all times when the device is closed. So while both phones are different in terms of execution, there is no denying that the Chinese manufacturer was first to market with a tri-fold phone.

This has the executive encouraging his team to create products that others “want to make but cannot make.”Yu confirmed that next month Huawei will introduce a new phone with a unique form factor that will have revolutionary improvements in hardware and software, and in the development of Huawei’s mobile ecosystem.
