Friends, this is an engineering marvel! Before it came, there was so much excitement & we did everything to get it here in front of you! Finally, it’s here! Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design! It’s the same tri-fold phone that everyone has been talking about for the past 1 month. When the iPhone was launched, people weren’t talking much about the iPhone. They were talking more about this! Imagine, Huawei said that they’ll go for 5 Lakhs, so they kept the capacity. In 24 hours, they booked more than 1 Million. And since then, 7 Million, i.e. 70 Lakh people have booked it. And its cost is around 2.5 Lakhs. And after seeing this response,
Huawei said that they’re going to launch it globally. Let’s see what all the fuss is about! Let’s open it up! This is what it is! They’ve said that it’s a tri-fold phone. There are only 2 folds, but the screen is 3. Oh! This is… Oh my goodness! Let’s see what else is there. It’s a big box, so let’s open it. It’s a Chinese variant, so it’s written in Chinese. No, there’s nothing inside. There’s a car charger! There are 2 USB Type-A & Type-C ports. This is an 88W charger. There’s a TWS as well, and it comes free of cost in the box. Oh, an interesting design! Oh! Look at this! We’ll talk about this later. There are a lot of things to show you. I think they’re free buds 5. There’s a sim card tool. Oh! There’s a case. These are buds ear tips. Not bad! There’s a case. Look at the case! It’s soft!
We’ll see this as well. I want to see this, so we’ll keep this. This looks heavy! There are 2 cables! It’s fun to unbox it like this! So this is a USB Type-C to Type-C charging cable. What’s the other one? This is a Type-A to Type-C charging cable. So there’s Type-C to Type-C & Type-A to Type-C. And then you also have a charger. This is a 66W charger. Type-C is at the bottom & Type-A is at the top. That’s interesting! Look at that! There’s documentation & nothing else. I think let’s keep this aside. Let’s keep everything aside, except the case. I’ll have to look at the TWS as well, so we’ll keep this aside as well. Alright, the exciting part! No, I’m not going to tear this. We have to do this on our Tamil channel as well. So let me see how I open this. It’s a bit torn.
Oh! It comes in a red colour. We wanted a red colour, but we didn’t get it. It’s a black colour, but look at this! You have to fold it like this, right? This is an engineering marvel! Wow! I don’t understand how this is possible. I mean, look at this! This is literally 3.6mm thin! I think the closest pixel fold is 5.2-5.3mm thin. And to show you, I have the X4 3 Pro, this is the OnePlus Open. I mean, the OnePlus Open & this are literally the same. It has 2 folds & this has 3 folds. I can’t wrap my head around it. It weighs 265g. 308g! It’s 243g. It doesn’t look that heavy! Wow! Wow! 308.7g! I think it’s the first phone without the case & everything that weighs more than 300g. I mean, obviously it’s heavy & not pocket friendly. But this is a tablet! This is a 10.2” screen.
This is a Samsung tablet & it’s 10.9”. Look at the form factor! This is a 10.2” tablet. That is absolutely crazy! Huawei has developed the Mate XT & has shaken the entire industry. I’ll be honest, I feel that this is an engineering marvel & all the other brands have to take note. I’m not going to talk much about the ports & buttons, but it has all the ports & buttons. It has multiple mics. It’s 6.4” & if you don’t want a full 6.4” then this one is 7.9” & if you open this, it’s a 10.2” display. Wow! I’ll start & then I’ll show you the display. The sides are curved so it’s a little difficult to open the fold. But look at this! There are no creases. I’m not going to talk about the durability. Seriously, what happens if it falls off by mistake? I’m not going to do the drop test.
There’s no question, I’m not going to do the drop test. It changes the screen sizes & resolution very seamlessly. Talking about the resolution, the front display is 6.4” FHD & 90Hz. 90Hz refresh rate is present everywhere, so you don’t get 120Hz. The front display is 6.4” FHD & if you open it, it’s a 7.9” 2K display. And if you open it fully, it’s a 10.2” 3K display. The bezels are very thin. Wow! Let’s put on the case & find out how to put it on. This case is just a bumper case. I was asking Sajid about the case & he told me that the display area is going to be exposed all the time. So it can get scratched. But I think that has been taken care of in the case. If I have to open the case, I’ll have to do it like this. And if you don’t have nails, it won’t open. So you have to tilt it a little & then you have to open it.
So look at this, this is a phone! Now the novelty factor is out of the way. If you have money, you don’t mind, should you buy it? Now listen to me. It has Kirin 9010, which is Huawei’s own chipset. It’s an old 7NM chipset, with an AnTuTu score of 1M. It performs like the Dimensity 8200. And again, it’s completely Chinese optimised. So if I want to play BGMI, Google services don’t work properly. You have to use it in a sandbox & it doesn’t work very well. In gaming, the Genshin Impact worked well. But BGMI crashes after a while. There are different variants in this. It starts at Rs 16,256, then Rs 512 & then there’s a 1TB variant. There are 2 colours, this is 1 colour & there’s a red colour too. If I want to see it now, I’ll have to see it as an Engineering Marvel novelty.
If I’m giving Rs 2.30L for the performance, then you can get a better performance for Rs 30-40K. So I’m not going to talk about performance. We played 4K HDR on YouTube & the audio is good for multimedia. It’s Chinese optimised & there’s L3 on Netflix. So you won’t enjoy watching it on a big screen if you want to binge watch Netflix. Not on this, but when it launches globally, it’ll be optimised more. But remember, Huawei is in the US Entity list. So they can’t use a good chipset & they don’t use Qualcomm. That’s why they have to use this. That’s why they’ve used Kirin which is in-house developed. But the performance is not all that great. It has a 5600mAh battery & it supports 50W wireless charging & 66W wired charging. It’s great in terms of charging & there’s no question about it. It definitely scores at one place. I mean, when you open this phone in front of your friends, I mean, there won’t be a single person who won’t come & ask you. So that’s where it definitely scores. It has HarmonyOS,
which is obviously Huawei’s own. But if I talk about optimisation, you can use a split screen with 2 apps & a floating window. Despite having such a big screen, they should’ve given 4-5 different apps at a time. But I think performance wise, it may have been difficult to keep 4-5 apps running side by side. So it’s ok, Instagram works well, some apps don’t work, they don’t open properly sometimes. But yeah, this is a 1st generation tri-fold, not tri-fold, it’s a dual fold. It’s the 1st phone & it’s the 1st in the world that has come out with this. So that’s ok. I forgot to show you the case. So this case can be used as a stand as well. So I can keep it like this, but I can also use it like this. Oh beautiful! And then there’s a keyboard in the front. It’s a laptop! Meaning a smartphone has become a laptop with 10.2 inches!
That’s crazy! I’ve been using it for so long & still I can’t get over the wow factor! Look at this! I can keep it like this too. Alright, let’s talk about the rest of the things. Camera, there’s a triple camera setup on the back, 50MP plus 12MP plus 12MP. And on the big screen, there’s a 8MP camera setup on the left. This is not straight, right? If you look at it, the screen is already a bit bent & it’s a new phone. Use it for a few days & it might become like this. Oh, look at this! If the display gets damaged, you’ll have to spend around 8K Rs. Meaning Rs 90-95K, nearly Rs 1 Lakh to replace the screen. You’ll get an iPhone in it. And there’s another concern, there’s no IP rating in it. It’s not there right now. It’ll come, but that’s there. Camera & Performance It’s Chinese optimized, but it’s a flagship level camera with good photos. I’m giving you the GDRIVE link, there are different photos.
Go & check it out! We’ll have to do another video on it, so do subscribe as there are more videos coming on it. We’re going to do different experiments on it, so wait for that. Sale season is still going on, so you can’t buy this. But there are some good deals, I’ve tagged the products. Go & check it out! Oh, I forgot to tell you about this. It has a different design. Let me wear it. Oh, it’s like this. It looks futuristic, but I’ll tell you what, Chinese people have small ears. Because they don’t fit properly. But anyways, do check it out. We won’t talk much about it, but the design is a bit different. Whatever, they are. This was the Mate XT Ultimate Design. It’s not a tri-fold, it’s a 2-fold phone, they call it a tri-fold. I’m happy that Huawei has developed it. Because other brands will have to come a notch above this. They’ll have to do innovative things like this. Otherwise, they’re bringing the same generation phones.
