Huawei’s Mate XT three-fold flagship is making waves once again. According to the tech blogger known as ”Smart Chip Consultant” on Weibo, Huawei’s ambitious foldable has now crossed an impressive milestone in terms of sales.
Mate XT continues to defy premium market expectations
The source claims the Mate XT has already sold over 400,000 units, an exceptional figure for a smartphone priced at a luxury tier. Launched in September last year, the Huawei Mate XT debuted as the world’s first tri-foldable smartphone. It instantly captured attention for its unique form factor and engineering innovation. Initial demand far exceeded supply, with listings on third-party platforms inflating to 50,000 Yuan ($6,800).
Currently, the 16GB+512GB and 16GB+1TB models are available at 21,999 Yuan ($2,990) and 23,999 Yuan ($3,260) respectively. However, the entry-level 16GB+256GB variant, priced at 19,999 Yuan ($2,720), remains out of stock—possibly due to low production or limited demand.
In February, the Huawei Mate XT debuted outside of China in markets, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. In the global market, it comes in only 16GB+1TB configuration.
With Huawei leading the charge in the tri-fold arena, Samsung is preparing to enter the scene. Its first triple-fold smartphone, internally labelled Q7M with model number SM-F968, is expected to launch in October. Early regulatory filings show versions tailored for China and South Korea, with no immediate signs of a global rollout.
Industry watchers speculate that Samsung may be testing local markets to gauge demand before wider expansion. With Huawei setting a high bar, Samsung’s upcoming entry will face significant scrutiny in terms of design, pricing, and performance.
