According to domestic media reports, the three-fold prototypes in Huawei stores are not available for hands-on experience yet, and can only be demonstrated by store staff. A store staff explained that the store currently has only a small number of prototypes for display purposes only, and customers are temporarily unable to try them out. “The phone has innovations in screens, cameras, etc., and can meet a variety of needs.”
It is understood that more than 4 million people have made reservations for this new phone online. In physical stores, customers can only register their intentions and cannot pay deposits directly. After the phone is officially launched, the store will notify customers to buy it in the order of their intention registrations. If it is not their turn to buy within a month, the intention registration will automatically expire. “At present, there are too many people who want to buy it, and the possibility of getting a place is relatively small.”
On September 10, Huawei officially launched the new Mate XT at its press conference. At the press conference, Huawei’s executive director and chairman of the Terminal BG, Yu Chengdong, introduced an important innovation of this series of mobile phones – the self-developed precision hinge system. This system realizes the functions of internal and external bending and dual-track linkage, making the phone smoother and more natural when folding and unfolding.
Yu Chengdong also mentioned that the screen size of the Mate XT is 10.2 inches when fully unfolded, which is equivalent to carrying a tablet with you. More importantly, the thickness of the phone is only 3.6 mm when unfolded, making it one of the thinnest foldable screen phones on the market.
Judging from the current market feedback, this phone has received widespread attention from consumers. Although it will take some time to experience it, both the number of online reservations and the popularity of offline store inquiries show that the Mate XT series has a high market potential.
