Tri-fold phones

HUAWEI Mate XT 2 · The tri-fold stops wearing its screen on the outside

Huawei rebuilt how its tri-fold folds. The flexible 10.2-inch panel now closes away inside the phone and a separate 6.5-inch glass screen sits on the outside, which is how a Mate XT finally gets a water rating: IP58 and IP59, where the Mate XTs had none at all. The inner screen can also switch itself to a narrow viewing angle so the seat next to you sees nothing, the side rails take a 30-second ECG, and the Kirin 9050 Pro debuts here. Prices start at ¥19,999, roughly €2,565, and it is sold only in China.
