Where to Buy the Huawei Mate XT: A Detailed Hands-on Experience Report

😄 The pen owner, lacking the funds to purchase the Huawei Mate XT, decided to visit a physical store for an immersive experience. Here’s their detailed report:

I. Unfolded Experience
Huawei has officially marketed the Mate XT as the world’s first commercially available triple-folding phone, and the in-hand experience is nothing short of spectacular. From the very first glance, you can see just how expansive this device truly is. Holding it with one hand feels remarkably light—far lighter than the pen owner’s iPad mini.

With a screen size of 10.2 inches and an official weight of 298 grams, it’s astonishingly feather-light for its dimensions. From the front, the fold lines are barely noticeable, but from the side, two subtle creases become more apparent. However, compared to other brands, Huawei excels in minimizing these creases.

Looking closely at the bottom, you’ll notice that the first and second screens are significantly thinner than the third. This design choice by Huawei allows all physical buttons and the charging port to be housed on the third screen, making the entire body even slimmer. Even the thickness of the third screen is thinner than the Honor Magic V3, a testament to Huawei’s attention to detail.

II. Folded Form
During the folding process, guided by the official staff, pressing down gently with the left hand while lifting with the right makes the phone fold effortlessly. It’s clear that the first and second screens fold outward, while the second and third screens fold inward. This versatility offers users three distinct forms to enjoy.

You can use the outer screen alone or open the second and third screens to create a shape reminiscent of the X5’s inner fold. Thus, this innovative product provides three unique configurations. Despite being folded, the phone remains quite thick, with official measurements at 12.8mm—about 2-3mm thicker than a standard straight phone.

In practice, however, it remains manageable, though it might feel a tad bulky in your pocket (perhaps due to overly loose pants). Nonetheless, using it one-handed is seamless, ensuring no compromise in usability.

III. Usage Experience
The Huawei Mate XT delivers a dual-purpose experience: when folded, it functions as a phone, and when unfolded, it transforms into a tablet. All the shortcuts typically found on a tablet are fully accessible on the Mate XT. Additionally, games like Gold Shovel can be enjoyed in tablet mode, making the device an excellent choice for gaming enthusiasts [Cute R].

Summary:
The Huawei Mate XT stands as a true marvel of modern technology, showcasing the prowess of domestic research and development. Unlike some brands whose concept phones remain mere sketches on paper, Huawei has successfully achieved mass production. Pulling out a 10.2-inch tablet from a compact pocket is undeniably impressive [Proud R].

As the pen owner reflects, regardless of online debates questioning whether it’s a high-end luxury or merely nostalgia-driven marketing, the Mate XT itself is genuinely remarkable—a product that speaks volumes about the manufacturer’s capabilities.
