TL;DR HUAWEI has refreshed its tri-fold Mate XT with a newer processor, satellite connectivity features, and new color options.
The new Mate XTs features many of the same specs as its predecessor, including a 10.2-inch display capable of three usable form factors.
The new HUAWEI Mate XTs is currently only available in China. International launch plans have not been announced yet.
HUAWEI takes the crown as the first (and so far, the only) OEM to release a tri-fold when it launched the HUAWEI Mate XT last year. While Samsung is rumored to launch its upcoming tri-fold foldable in the coming weeks and months, HUAWEI has refreshed its foldable with newer specs. Meet the new HUAWEI Mate XTs, now available with a newer processor and in newer colors.

HUAWEI Mate XTs specifications
The HUAWEI Mate XTs continues to sport one very long display, which can be folded not once but twice to give you a phone with three usable form factors. In its completely unfolded state, you get a 10.2-inch, 3,184 x 2,232 OLED LTPO display with a 16:11 aspect ratio, a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, and a 1Hz-90Hz refresh rate. You can fold it once to get a 7.9-inch display and another time to get a 6.4-inch display.
One highlight of this versatile display is that it supports stylus input, so you can use one in any of its three screen configurations.
The Mate XTs is powered by the Kirin 9020 processor, though it’s unclear what exactly has been upgraded over the Kirin 9010 on the Mate XT. The Mate XTs runs Harmony OS 5 in China and is capable of satellite connectivity in the region.
Features carried over from the Mate XT include the 5,600mAh battery that supports 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 7.5W reverse wireless charging. Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, UWB, and even an IR blaster, because why not.
