It\u2019s only a minor upgrade on the first edition, but comes with new colors, stylus support, and a slightly lower price tag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The biggest addition is the ability to use a stylus on the folding screen, though otherwise the 10.2-inch display \u2014 which folds down to 7.9-inch and 6.4-inch options \u2014 is much the same as before. Other upgrades include a Kirin 9020 chipset, an improved 40-megapixel ultrawide camera, and new colors: returning red and black models are now accompanied by white and purple versions, all bedecked in imitation leather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Mate XTs starts at 17,999 Chinese yuan (about $2,520). That probably doesn\u2019t sound like much of a bargain, but it is cheaper than the 19,999 yuan ($2,800) Mate XT, which cost \u20ac3,499 (about $4,070) when it eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/614241\/huawei-trifold-mate-xt-ultimate-global-release\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">launched outside China<\/a>. When I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/huawei\/667574\/huawei-mate-xt-review-trifold-phone\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reviewed the Mate XT<\/a> I found myself surprisingly sold on it, though the price is still an obvious sticking point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Huawei\u2019s second trifold arrives before any other manufacturer has released a first, though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/768918\/samsungs-trifold-might-be-launching-pretty-soon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung\u2019s is expected to arrive soon<\/a>. Alongside the XTs, Huawei announced the MatePad Mini tablet, Freebuds 7i earbuds, and a MateTV range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Huawei has announced the Mate XTs, its second-generation trifold phone, which is available to order now in China.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[1512,356,1311,342,111,43,139,69,2063,370,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-1686","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-foldable-phones","9":"tag-gadgets","10":"tag-huawei","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-newzealand","15":"tag-nz","16":"tag-phones","17":"tag-tech","18":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
