The Huawei Mate XT was without a doubt one of the most interesting starts of this year 2024. Huawei, which was officially launched two weeks ago, although previously “known” for several surprise appearances, has once again managed to put itself at the epicenter of the innovation conversation and also in a very related market, in itself, for being at the forefront of smartphones and folding devices.

As a quick reminder, The Huawei Mate XT is a hybrid between a smartphone and a tabletbecause it has approximately the shape of the first when folded, but becomes the shape of the second when we display its entire screen, divided into three segments by two folds. We’ve seen a prototype based on the same premise before, but this is the first time a manufacturer has dared to bring it to market.

Of course, as we already told you, a debut in this sense It was made exclusively in Chinalocal market of the brand, and there are many reasons that allow us to see this as a quite logical step. Now, as we told you a few days ago, there are indications that Huawei is indeed considering bringing it to international markets, even more so after the interest on a global scale has been so significant. And since it cannot be proven, there is no doubt that the proposition is very attractive.

It finally went on sale in China last Friday, and that’s why We already know the first reactions that the Huawei Mate XT caused. And as I assumed in the title, there are lights and shadows, so it will be interesting to know how it develops over the next few weeks, maybe even two or three months, so that we have a clearer “picture” of the good, the bad. and what to expect.

On one hand, we found out that on the day the Huawei Mate XT went on sale, it was only available in stores for those users who pre-booked it. That tells us The demand for it was higher than expected.that there were more users who wanted to buy it on the first day, although it was not possible for them. And of course, this led to a somewhat angry reaction from them, who believe (and understandably so) that Huawei should have provided more units to their own stores to meet said demand.

On the other hand, as we read on PhoneArena, some users as well as store employees have pointed it out device size is larger than you would likeand its price is quite high. Both points, although potentially correct (remember that its price starts at 2,540 euros in exchange rate), are justified in that we are talking about the first generation of a quite revolutionary device, and which therefore depends on how it will work commercially, will open the door to improvement in both aspects in the future.
