Huawei has finally launched its highly anticipated tri-fold phone and while I have to admit it's visually impressive, I'm still left asking 'Why on earth do I need an origami smartphone'? The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is, in my humble opinion, too much of a good thing, acting as a hybrid between the worlds of tablet and smartphone – two distinct devices that I've never yearned to combine.
There are plenty of flip phones capitalising on the great Y2K revival, saturating the market with a plethora of foldable devices to meet a variety of needs. While I can't say I'm a folding phone convert myself, I admire Huawei's efforts to pioneer a new and unique phone design (that's more than can be said for Apple's latest iPhone 16 launch).
