On the afternoon of September 10, Huawei officially released the world’s first three-fold screen mobile phone, Huawei Mate XT Extraordinary Master, with a starting price of 19,999 yuan, which is lower than many people expected. However, even if you can afford it, you may not be able to repair it during the later use.
One of the main reasons why the Huawei Mate XT is priced at nearly 20,000 yuan is that its tri-fold screen is expensive. According to the repair prices announced by Huawei, the price of replacing a new screen is 7,999 yuan, which is a preferential price based on recycling the old screen. The original price is as high as 9,799 yuan, which is almost enough to buy a newly released iPhone 16 Pro Max. In addition, in order to reduce the replacement cost of users, Huawei has also launched a screen replacement service for users. Within one year of purchasing the machine, users can enjoy a special price replacement of the screen or screen components. Only one of the two can be selected, and the prices are 3,499 yuan and 3,999 yuan respectively.
In addition to the screen, the motherboard of the new phone is also the biggest part of the repair cost. The replacement of 16GB+512GB costs 9099 yuan, and 16GB+1TB costs 10699 yuan. The money for replacing the screen and motherboard is almost enough to buy a new phone. In comparison, other accessories of the phone, such as batteries, cameras, and phone covers, are very cheap compared to the above two prices, and most of them are around a few hundred yuan.
I have to say that although Huawei’s three-fold screen mobile phone looks very cool, it is best to be careful when using it. After all, once it is damaged, it will cost a lot to repair it.
