On the afternoon of September 10^th, Huawei officially unveiled the world's first mass-produced tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT, at its Shenzhen launch event. Its price starts at 19,999 yuan. Huawei also introduced two new vehicles, the AITO M9 five-seat version and the Zhijie R7, stirring excitement across the tech industry.

Since pre-orders for the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design opened on September 7^th, over 4.3 million people had signed up by 7:00 PM on September 9^th, with the numbers still rising rapidly.

During the event, Yu Chengdong, the Executive Director of the Board, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Consumer BG, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Intelligent Automotive Solution BU, officially announced the launch of the Huawei Mate XT, calling it the world's first tri-fold smartphone. Priced between 19,999 and 23,999 yuan, Yu emphasized, "What others can imagine but cannot achieve, our team has spent five years to accomplish. We dare to innovate and break boundaries, turning science fiction into reality and leading the new era of foldable screens."

"This is the world's largest and thinnest phone. My dream is to put a tablet in my pocket, and a computer in my pocket," Yu added, showcasing the Mate XT on stage. Over the years, Huawei has made continuous breakthroughs with various folding designs, including inward, outward, and vertical folds. The new triple-folding design not only rewrites industry history but also blurs the boundaries of smart device formats, transforming science fiction into reality.

The Mate XT boasts the ability to switch between single-screen, dual-screen, and triple-screen modes, offering users a versatile experience. 

Yu noted, "Achieving both inward and outward folding on one screen is incredibly difficult, and ensuring durability against compression and stretching makes it even harder." To overcome these challenges, Huawei developed its unique "Tiangong" hinge system, which balances thinness and strength, enabling seamless folding without compromising on durability and ushering in a new era of foldable smartphones for global consumers.

Industry experts view the release of the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design as a significant leap in foldable screen technology, setting it apart from the upcoming iPhone 16. Meanwhile, the upcoming Mate 70 series and the native HarmonyOS system, expected later this year, are key steps in Huawei's broader strategy to capture the high-end market. According to reports, pre-orders for the Mate XT have been overwhelmingly popular, with more than 4.3 million registered buyers. Its scarcity has already caused prices to soar in the secondary market, with some reselling for over 100,000 yuan, highlighting its demand and rarity.

In addition to the smartphone launch, Huawei also expanded the horizons of smart mobility by introducing two flagship smart vehicles, the AITO M9 five-seat version, and the Zhijie R7. These models showcase Huawei's deep expertise in autonomous driving technology and underscore the company's commitment to integrating AI into products and reshaping the future of connected living. Collectively, these initiatives signal Huawei's open and innovative approach to embracing the era of the Internet of Everything.

全球首款三折叠屏手机发布，预约人数超过430万人

9月10日午后，华为深圳发布会上，全球首款量产的三折叠屏手机Mate XT正式发布，定价19999元起，并同步推出了汽车新品问界M9五座版及智界R7，科技领域再掀波澜。

9月7日，华为Mate XT非凡大师在华为官网预订开启后，截至9月9日19时，预约人数超过430万人，并且还在快速增长。

发布会上，华为常务董事、终端BG董事长、智能汽车解决方案BU董事长余承东宣布，华为首款也是行业首款三折叠屏手机—华为Mate XT非凡大师正式发布，售价从19999元起至23999元。余承东表示：“大家都能想得到，但做不到的东西，我们团队们耗时5年终于做成，我们敢于突破、敢于非凡，将科幻变成现实，引领折叠屏新时代。”

“这是一款全球最大、也是最薄的手机，我的梦想是把平板放在口袋里，把电脑放在口袋里。”余承东携带华为Mate XT来到现场指出，多年来华为在内折、外折与竖折等多种形态上持续突破，此次三折叠屏改写行业历史打破了智能终端形态边界，将科幻变成现实。

它不仅代表了华为在折叠屏领域的技术，更以单屏、双屏、三屏多种形态的自由切换，为用户提供了更多使用体验。

余承东表示：“一块屏幕要做到内外弯折非常困难，而同时还要保障抗挤压、抗拉伸、坚固耐用更是难上加难。”为了实现这一设计，必须攻克屏幕与铰链技术的双重难关。为此，华为独创天工铰链系统，成功兼顾了轻薄与强韧，实现了内外无缝弯折，为全球消费者呈现折叠新形态。

业内相关人士表示，华为Mate XT非凡大师的发布，标志着华为折叠屏技术新飞跃，目前未与iPhone 16直接竞争。而年底发布的华为Mate70系列及鸿蒙原生系统，则是华为迈向高端市场的重要布局。羊城晚报记者了解到，Mate XT非凡大师预订火爆，目前预约人数超430万，二手市场已被炒至高价，最高达10万元以上，凸显其市场热度与稀缺性。

此外，华为发布会还拓展了智慧出行的边界，推出了问界M9五座版和智界R7两款全景智慧旗舰车型，不仅展示了华为在自动驾驶领域的深厚积累，也再次证明了其将AI技术深度融入产品、重塑未来生活方式的坚定决心。这一系列举措，标志着华为正以开放创新的姿态，全面拥抱万物互联的智能时代。
