Huawei’s $2,800 triple-screen phone laughs at your puny foldable

Comment
Huawei on Tuesday launched the Mate XT Ultimate Design, which is a long name for a big phone. The handset ups the ante for foldables in terms of both displays and pricing. The device starts at CNY 19,999 (roughly $2,800). Paying about a grand north of your standard foldable price gets you a unique three-screen design, bringing a 10.2-inch main display to your pocket.
Presently, the Mate XT Ultimate Design is only available in Huawei’s native China. It likely won’t have much presence outside of that market and almost certainly will never come to the States, given the ongoing ban that kneecapped the initial Mate X.
