The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate has been announced for a full global launch, and it could well be the most exciting foldable phone we’ve seen yet – though there are a couple of potential snags that we can spot.

Huawei officially unveiled its Mate XT, the world's first tri-fold smartphone, at a launch event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 18, 2025. The company announced plans for a global rollout, with availability depending on market conditions and specific countries to be determined.
