Huawei Mate XT Ultimate set for global release in Q1 2025

The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, a world-first triple-folding smartphone, will launch globally in Q1 2025, following its September 2024 release in China.

If you’ve been eagerly awaiting news about whether the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate will be available outside of China, we finally have some positive updates for you. Huawei is set to release its latest innovation, the Mate XT Ultimate, in global markets during the first quarter of 2025. GSMArena has confirmed this news, and it’s anticipated that Huawei may announce the phone’s global availability at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in March 2025.

However, it’s still uncertain whether Huawei will hold a dedicated launch event for international markets or use MWC to reveal more details about the global launch. This impressive new device will soon be accessible to more than just the Chinese market.

Huawei’s triple-folding technology sets new standards

Huawei initially unveiled the Mate XT Ultimate in China on September 11, 2024. This cutting-edge smartphone marks a major leap in innovation as the world’s first triple-folding smartphone. Depending on how it’s folded, the Mate XT Ultimate offers three distinct screen sizes.

The phone features a 6.4-inch display when completely folded, making it relatively compact. Unfolding it once the screen size is increased to 7.9 inches gives users more space for work or play. Fully unfolded, the phone reveals its impressive 10.2-inch display, creating a tablet-like experience perfect for multitasking, media consumption, or productivity. This unique triple-fold design truly sets it apart from other folding smartphones on the market, making it a pioneer in flexible display technology.

Repair costs reflect its advanced features

With such advanced technology comes a high price—not only for the phone itself but also for repairs. Due to the complex design and the multiple foldable displays, repair fees for the Mate XT Ultimate’s screen can reach up to 9,799 yuan, roughly S$1,796. This is considerable, placing it in the same price range as other flagship phones like the Apple iPhone 16 Pro (256GB) or the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 (12GB + 256GB).

The significant repair costs directly reflect the innovative screen technology and the challenges involved in maintaining a device with multiple folding mechanisms.

Global availability and pricing expectations

Given Huawei’s history of product releases in various international markets, including Singapore, the Mate XT Ultimate will likely be available in multiple countries following its global launch in early 2025. It’s estimated to cost around S$2,600 or more when it reaches international markets.

The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is poised to make waves with its triple-folding display and innovative features. As the global release approaches, more details will likely emerge, but for now, tech fans worldwide can look forward to getting their hands on this futuristic device in early 2025.
