Huawei Mate XTs Tri-Fold Shakes Up Foldables with Triple Screens, Stylus Support, and Power to Spare

Huawei Mate XTs Tri-Fold Shakes Up Foldables with Triple Screens, Stylus Support, and Power to Spare

A Triple-Folding Phone That Turns Into a Tablet Huawei’s Mate XTs is an engineering marvel: a smartphone that folds twice via two hinges, transforming from a regular phone into a mini-tablet.

Fold it once, and you get a roughly 7.9-inch tablet mode; fold again, and it collapses to a 6.4-inch phone-like display for one-handed use. The design uses one inward-folding and one outward-folding hinge (like an accordion), leaving one panel on the outside to serve as the phone’s screen when closed. This outer display means you don’t need a
