On September 3, Richard Yu, Huawei’s executive director, chairman of the Terminal BG, and chairman of the Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, officially announced the name of Huawei’s first three-fold screen mobile phone: HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN. CNMO noticed that with the release of this news, the industry has speculated on its pricing. One blogger in the automotive field boldly predicted that the price of Huawei’s three-fold phone might be hyped up to 50,000 yuan per unit. In response, some netizens said: If you say so, I will go and grab it.
Yu Chengdong has high hopes for the Mate XT, calling it “Huawei’s most leading, innovative, and disruptive product,” the result of the team’s five years of persistence and investment, turning science fiction into reality. He emphasized that this is Huawei’s pinnacle work and is worthy of high expectations from the market. Given its unique selling point of being the world’s first three-fold folding screen, the Mate XT has huge market premium potential. It is expected that its starting price will easily cross the 20,000 yuan threshold.
Looking back at the pre-sale and sales of Huawei Mate X5 last year, it was sold out in seconds on the official platform with a deposit of 1,000 yuan before the price was announced, and offline stores were also crowded. After the official sale, the basic version and the collector’s version were priced at 12,999 yuan and 15,999 yuan respectively. The market was in short supply, and the prices on the second-hand platform were even higher, with a premium of thousands of yuan. The Mate X5, which is a good deal if you grab it, is also called the annual financial product, and some even call it the “electronic Moutai.”
Based on the current popularity and market expectations of Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone, its future market performance will undoubtedly attract much attention, and it is expected to become the new generation of “electronic Moutai”.
