The World’s First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better?

A single smartphone screen just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our digital lives demand more, and juggling multiple devices isn’t practical, especially in a world where mobile and remote work is now the norm. Huawei’s recent and the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, officially called the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, has broken barriers in foldable design and technology, bringing a screen experience like no other and addressing this growing gap in the market. It has emerged as one of the best foldable releases of the decade. With three screens, it expands the possibilities of smartphone interactions and multitasking.

Here’s how you can get the most out of its tri-fold display.

Triples Visual Immersion

It’s obvious why the HUAWEI Mate XT is special. Unfold it, and your smartphone transforms into a full-sized tablet. It allows you to carry a large-screen immersive display right in your pocket. With three times the screen real estate and the world’s first 3K Hi-Res HUAWEI X-True Display on the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, you can enjoy every visual detail of a game, graphic novel, or movie on a larger display anytime and anywhere.

The best part is that the smartphone’s slim-thin build makes it convenient to hold in your palms while you’re on the move. At the time of its release, the HUAWEI Mate XT is both the thinnest foldable and the largest commercially available foldable smartphone on the market, at just 3.6 mm thin and 10.2 inches wide when unfolded.

Master the Task with More Display Modes

Working on the move can feel chaotic, especially f you’re bouncing between apps and splitting your focus between different apps.  With HUAWEI Mate XT, the split screen experience allows you to accomplish more in an instant. Need to jot down notes while reading a book? Split-screen mode lets you run both apps side by side, no toggling required.

For a wider display configuration, users can activate triple-screen mode to get three views of three different apps. Especially when working on complex tasks, we often need multiple apps to accomplish them. You’ve got an airline app open on one screen, a browser for research on another, and a video call with friends on the third to hash out details. Or maybe you’re creating social media content. With the Mate XT, you can edit a video, browse for inspiration, and draft a caption, all at once. With three apps running simultaneously, complex tasks feel effortless.

More Screens, More Flexibility

Thanks to its Advanced Precision Hinge System, HUAWEI Mate XT’s trifold display is also the first in the industry to achieve inward and outward folding. This means you can not only use your smartphone as an extended display but also transform it into a real-life tool.  

Flip it outward, and the second screen becomes a built-in stand perfect for watching shows hands-free while you eat lunch. Or fold it into a mini tripod for your camera, with one side acting as a viewfinder and the other handling the controls. It’s clever, practical, and feels like a natural extension of the device.

HUAWEI Mate XT represents a new breed of multitasking smartphones altogether, accomplishing the “impossibility” of a lightweight, large and powerful smartphone. With more display configurations to choose from, you will get more out of your smartphone, and rid yourselves of the inconvenience of cramming everything onto one tiny screen.

The HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN is undoubtedly the most cutting-edge smartphone right now. It’s now available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia starting from 1083.25 SAR per month through Huawei online store and several authorized retailers.
