Huawei beats Samsung to the tri-fold with new Mate XTs coming next week
Huawei’s second-generation tri-fold is finally coming later next week, and we’re getting our first look at it, thanks to a teaser uploaded to Weibo channels. After the success of Mate XT, its successor is en route, but will only be available in Chinese markets, at least at launch.
Mate XTs carries the same design scheme; comes in a new color and stylus support
Samsung has been hard at work at bring its first “Galaxy Z TriFold” to the market, and while rumors have it that the South Korean tech giant will be debuting a triple-screen foldable, it certainly won’t be at next week’s Galaxy event (that’s dedicated to the Galaxy S25 FE and Tab S11).
Huawei has opened up pre-orders for the new Mate XTs, while giving us a brief glimpse into what the phone will look like. Largely, it carries the same design scheme from the original Mate XT, mostly with the octagonal camera bump, but comes in a new color: white and gold.
Not only this, but the Mate XTs also comes with stylus-support. It’s somewhat ironic that this addition comes at a time when Samsung is facing a heap of critisim for removing the S-Pen support on the Galaxy Fold 7.
The Mate XTs will be announced at a dedicated Huawei event on September 4th in China.
