Huawei Unveils Three-Way Foldable Phone to Challenge Apple in China

Huawei Technologies introduced its new three-way foldable phone, the Mate XT, shortly after Apple revealed its latest iPhone model. Garnering over 3.3 million pre-orders in China, the launch highlights Huawei's resilience amidst U.S. sanctions and solidifies its competitiveness in the foldable smartphone market.

In a strategic move to outpace Apple in China's thriving smartphone market, Huawei Technologies launched its innovative three-way foldable phone, the Mate XT, on Tuesday.

The unveiling came just hours after Apple presented its latest iPhone model, marking a bold statement from Huawei, which has already amassed over 3.3 million pre-orders for the new device without requiring a deposit.

Despite the limited production and high price tag potentially restricting mass sales, the Mate XT underscores Huawei's technological prowess and ability to navigate U.S. sanctions, further solidifying its stance against competitors like Samsung and Apple in both local and global markets.
