- HUAWEI is reportedly planning to launch its next-generation tri-fold phone later this year.
- This successor to the Mate XT Ultimate Design could arrive before Samsung’s first tri-fold even hits the shelves.
- The new HUAWEI foldable is expected to improve on the Mate XT’s durability and performance.
Today’s leaks may have given us clues that Samsung’s first tri-fold foldable is edging closer to release, but it seems like one of its top competitors may already be another step ahead by then.
According to South Korean publication The Bell (h/t Jukan Choi on X), HUAWEI plans to launch its next-generation tri-fold phone later this year. The device is expected to improve on the durability and performance of the original Mate XT Ultimate Design, which launched in China last September and went global in February. That phone reportedly sold over 400,000 units within its first two months on sale.
