Huawei’s second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the\u00a0company’s<\/a>\u00a0first trifold phone<\/a> was released in September 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trifold phone isn’t much different from the Mate XT, but two big upgrades take the spotlight. The Mate XTs let you use a stylus on the phone’s folding screen and comes in purple, red, black or white. It runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, which Huawei calls a “PC-level” experience, and has a new M-Pen 3 stylus.<\/p>\n

“In the free multiwindow mode, application windows can be stacked, resized and quickly switched, allowing PC-like efficiency at any time,” Huawei said in a press release about HarmonyOS 5.1.<\/p>\n

The Mate XTs also\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0has an upgraded chip, the Kirin 9020, and<\/a>\u00a0a 40MP camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mate XTs is now available for preorder in China and will launch on Sept. 12. Its starting price is 17,999 yuan (around $2,520), but it could cost more if you need more memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a foldable phone, similar options should be on the horizon. Huawei’s announcement comes just weeks before Samsung is expected to launch its Galaxy Z TriFold<\/a> on Sept. 29. There are also rumors that Apple could launch a foldable phone<\/a> as a part of its iPhone 18 lineup<\/a> in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Huawei’s second-generation trifold phone, the Mate XTs, is now available, just shy of a year after the\u00a0company’s\u00a0first trifold…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-133336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
