The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate 256GB is Huawei Test's 2024 smartphone featuring a 10.2 inches, 315.5 cm2 (~91.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 9010 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5600 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 8,999.
The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate 256GB excels with its 10.2-inch tri-foldable LTPO OLED display at 90Hz and 381 ppi, delivering unmatched tablet-scale immersion, and 66W wired charging that refills its battery from 0–70% in under 40 minutes. The 298g weight remains remarkably portable for a foldable of this size. Ideal for professionals who need a tablet-sized screen for document annotation and video calls while maintaining phone portability, especially in markets with limited tablet adoption. Its weakness is the 8MP main camera—barely adequate for casual snaps, with no telephoto or ultra-wide backup, making it unfit for content creators. In UAE at AED 8999, it’s overpriced because competitors offer better cameras and Google services at similar cost. In India, where HarmonyOS 4.2 lacks Play Store access and pricing is unlisted, it’s not recommended unless you’re locked into Huawei’s ecosystem and prioritize screen real estate over apps or photography.
