Huawei Mate XT

If you’re impatiently waiting for word on when Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone might finally hit the market, you might not have to wait much longer — even if it means getting beat to the punch by the only other tri-foldable in town.

The tri-fold market is officially off to a hot start as Huawei has announced the now globally available Mate XT. Huawei is happy to brag about a few broken records, considering the phone is the first tri-fold commercially available.

Huawei has just launched the world’s first tri-fold smartphone in the Mate XT, with the device arriving in China for a cost of just under $3,000.
