Chinese tech company Huawei brings attention to its new Mate XT Ultimate Design smartphone -- this is a triple folding phone that can also function as a tablet. It is described by the brand as "the first-ever commercial triple foldable phone." It is defined by its flexible OLED touchscreen that has hinges integrated into the structure in two different directions.
When it is entirely unfolded it is 10.2 inches with an immersive viewing experience. The device can switch automatically between a single, dual, and triple-screen mode as the unfolding and filing happens. The hinge system uses two tracks that work together to enable the inward and outward folds to activate with 26 precision cams that follow the smooth process.
