Tech in threes

HUAWEI reinvents smartphone with its triple-fold display

Published Feb 18, 2025 10:53 pm

They say good things come in threes.  This idiom stems from the belief that if two fortunate events have occurred, a third is likely to happen.  But more than just a catchy phrase, the number 3 signifies the power of harmony, stability and completeness as exemplified by Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Design.

February 18, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the whole world witnessed HUAWEI make a significant advancement in mobile technology with the launch of the Mate XT Ultimate Design, the first-ever triple-foldable smartphone.  

Included in Huawei's Innovative Product Launch was the introduction of the new HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch 2025, the HUAWEI Band 10 and the HUAWEI FreeArc slated to launch soon in the Philippines.

A Foldable Paradigm Shift

For years, we all have been tantalized by numerous prototypes and dreams of what a triple-display foldable smartphone could look like and what it can do for tech enthusiasts like us.  Now, this concept has become a reality, pioneering not only as the first trifold smartphone but also as the world's largest foldable smartphone (10.2 inches unfolded), the thinnest foldable (measuring as thin as 3.6mm), and the first to feature an inward and outward folding at the same time.  Imagine, 3 form factors in a single device! 

The HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Design stole the show with its groundbreaking trifold design revolutionizing the display experience with its Advanced Precision Hinge System and ultra-large 322 square centimeters of ultra-thin glass. This design provides users with both a fully immersive full-screen experience and an efficient split-screen option.  Additionally, the HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Design is equipped with the Ultra Aperture XMAGE camera, featuring a 10-size Adjustable Physical Aperture so users can enjoy sharper, professional-level shots.

PC Power Meets Tablet Portability

With its professional-grade capabilities in a sleek and portable form factor, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch 2025 bridges the gap between tablets and PCs.  For a stunning visual experience, this tablet features a 13.2-inch Flexible OLED PaperMatte Display, 1000 nits brightness and a 2.8K resolution display.  

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch 2025 includes a PC-level version of WPS Office, which enables users to edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in desktop mode. It also comes with built-in applications like HUAWEI Notes and GoPaint App, allowing users to unleash their creativity and boost their productivity.

Open-ear comfort and Superior Sound

The HUAWEI FreeArc is an innovative pair of open-ear TWS earbuds and is HUAWEI's first earbuds to feature IP57 water resistance. Designed with ergonomics in mind, these earbuds incorporate HUAWEI's signature C-bridge design. They deliver exceptional audio quality thanks to a 17x22mm high-sensitivity driver unit, a symmetrical acoustic structure, a dynamic bass algorithm, and an Adaptive Equal-Loudness Algorithm. These features make the FreeArc an ideal choice for sports enthusiasts.

Wellness and Style on your Wrist

HUAWEI continues to push the boundaries of technology with its impressive and diverse product lineup showcased during its Innovative Product Launch. The company demonstrates that 'only those who dare can become extraordinary'.  Those who are willing to take risks can achieve greatness. Indeed, HUAWEI's commitment to innovation, focused on enhancing lifestyles and addressing real-world needs, is reshaping the future of technology. As James Warren, HUAWEI's Head of International Media, aptly states, "Trust drives us forward."
