Huawei has presented in China the Mate XTS, its second mobile of two folds for three formats, and direct successor of the mate xt. Maintain the formula of a unique screen that folds twice to offer Three use formatshe adds Support for Styluspremieres a new chip Kirin And it arrives in new colors. For now he stays in the Chinese market, but marks the rhythm of a category in which Samsung prepares his own debut.
It is not a radical change, but one update on the same base: Harmonyos 5 (with performance improvements with respect to the previous generation), giant batteryand a camera system similar to that of the previous model. The great differential value remains its triangable format, which allows you to move from “mobile” to “tablet” in seconds without sacrificing too much portability.
Screen and performance with Kirin 9020
Huawei's proposal revolves around a 10.2 -inch OLED LTPO screen (Relationship 16:11 and 3K resolution) that can be folded once or twice to obtain useful surfaces of 7.9 and 6.4 inches. This continuity of the panel avoids internal cuts and facilitates natural use in each mode. He Stylus works in the three formats, so Take notes, draw or write PDF files It is more comfortable than in other folding.
Without a doubt, the panel of this interesting hybrid device is the most striking: the versatility when taking notes and productivity when editing emails or Documents translate into a unique experience of this type of devices.
Inside, the Kirin 9020 take over from 9010 ofl Mate XT. The brand speaks of a jump of efficiency and fluidity next to Harmonyos 5with new functions of AI and multitasking optimizations. The set completes a very wide connectivity with Wi -Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, UWB and infraredin addition to satellite connection in compatible regions.
Cameras and drums: continuism with nuances
The photographic block repeats the Huawei recipe with a main 50 megapixels and variable opening To improve little light capture, a 12 megapixel periscopic teleobjective with Zoom 5.5x and OIS, and a front camera of 8 megapixels. Here is a small discrepancy between sources: while some keep the Ultra wide angle of 12 megapixelsothers point to 40 megapixels. Until the final technical sheet, we take for granted a continuous approach with minor adjustments.
The battery of 5600 mAh It is still striking in such a complex format. With 66 w by cable and 50 W wirelessthe mate xts should Recover much of your energy in a few minutes. It also offers reverse load for headphones or watches, and maintains a chassis that Keep betting on the lateral reader not to compromise the panel with a hole or a low screen sensor that penalizes the quality.
Price, availability and context: waiting for Samsung's triangable
The Mate XTS is marketed in China with 16 GB of RAM and three storage options: 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. Their official prices in Yuan are in 17,999, 19,999 and 21,999respectively. At approximate change, we talk about about 2,320, 2,580 and 2,850 euros. It is available in White and purplein addition to the traditional Black and red. For now there is no confirmed global plan, although the Mate XT did arrive in Europe for 3,500 eurosso it would not be uncommon to see a similar movement later.
In parallel, Samsung lasts his first trifhablewhich could occur in the coming weeks. If confirmed, the duel will be interesting: Huawei would already go for his second generation with Stylus and software improvements, while Samsung would release format with a very polished Android ecosystem and a possible price close to $ 3,000 (around 2,700 euros). Direct competition that, ultimately, benefits the user With more options and better prices.
Huawei does not revolutionize the concept, but improves its proposal in key aspects: screen, stylus and performance. The Mate XTS consolidates the triple as a real alternative for those who want a single device that is mobile and tablet. If Samsung fulfills its triangable, 2025 can be the first year with a Battle to two In this new category. Does this format convince you or do you prefer to continue with a folding classic “book”?
