When I first heard of the Huawei Mate XT back in September 2024, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. I’d believed that larger folding displays were the key to truly gamechanging foldable devices for some time, spurred on by my fervent appreciation of the OnePlus Open, but seeing one come to reality took a moment to sink in.
Looking back, I suppose I had a case of what you could call the first-generation jitters – cast your mind back to 2019 and the original Samsung Galaxy Fold, an unreliable and fragile device that created as much doubt as it did excitement. It didn’t exactly help that the Mate XT was to be, and still is, a China exclusive, so there’d be little chance of testing it myself.
