Huawei Mate XT Tri-Folding Smartphone Crosses 2 Million In Reservations, With An Official Release Slated To Happen On September 19

The world’s first commercially-produced tri-fold smartphone, the Huawei Mate XT, is expected to be officially announced on September 10, and unsurprisingly, the company has opened up reservations for its upcoming flagship. While we assume that there will be a limited number of units at launch, the sheer attention that the device has garnered from consumers could likely be nothing short of overwhelming for the company because, at the time of writing, there are more 2 million recorded reservations for the Mate XT.

Pricing details of the Huawei Mate XT have not yet been mentioned, but the tri-fold flagship will arrive in two RAM and storage variants

After a multitude of leaks and rumors surrounding the Huawei Mate XT, the former Chinese giant has opened up reservations for the smartphone, with the official sale scheduled to kick off on September 19.

One thing to keep in mind is that the number of reservations does not indicate how successful the initial shipment run will be.
