(MENAFN) On Tuesday, Chinese tech giant Huawei made a significant impact in the smartphone market with the introduction of its new Mate XT, a USD2,800 triple-folding phone. The launch event, held in Shenzhen, China, aimed to capture attention just hours after Apple unveiled its latest Iphone model. The Mate XT can be folded into three segments and has already garnered over 3.6 million pre-orders, reflecting strong consumer interest. The phone boasts a 10.2-inch screen and a thickness of just 3.6mm, making it the thinnest foldable phone currently available. Huawei's CEO, Richard Yu, emphasized the company's commitment to innovation, stating that the Mate XT represents a leap forward in the foldable device industry, transforming what was once considered science fiction into reality.
This launch is particularly notable as it follows Apple's debut of the AI-powered iPhone 16, which is set to be available for purchase starting September 20. Huawei's new device not only highlights its technological advancements but also its ability to navigate past U.S. sanctions, positioning it as a formidable competitor in the global smartphone market. The company has already surpassed Samsung Electronics in foldable phone sales this year, thanks in part to strong domestic demand in China. Huawei's ability to offer cutting-edge features while addressing criticisms of Apple's lack of AI capabilities in China underscores its strategic advantage in the high-end smartphone sector.
