Huawei Terminal announced on Weibo today that pre-orders for its tri-folding phone, MateXT Master Edition, opened at 12:08 PM on September 7th. Huawei Terminal also unveiled the mysterious phone through a pre-order poster. Despite the price remaining undisclosed, consumer enthusiasm has remained high. Pre-orders surged rapidly, breaking through tens of thousands shortly after opening. As of 4:08 PM on September 7th, the pre-order volume has exceeded 823,000, just four hours after its launch.

The phone will officially debut at Huawei's launch event on September 10th, with official sales commencing at 10:08 AM on September 20th. The price will also be revealed at that time.

As early as September 3rd, Huawei Terminal announced the new member of the Master Edition brand - MateXT on Weibo. Yu Chengdong, Huawei's Executive Director, Chairman of the Terminal BG, and Chairman of the Smart Car Solutions BU, reposted the announcement using the MateXT Master Edition phone. At that time, consumers speculated that MateXT would be the first foldable phone in the Master Edition series, likely featuring a tri-folding design.

In August, Yu Chengdong was spotted on a plane using a tri-folding phone. The left screen displayed a list of messages, while the right screen showed web content. When fully unfolded, the inner screen was significantly larger than standard foldable phones. The protective case on the side also seemed to house a stylus. Yu Chengdong also mentioned in Dong Yuhui's live stream, "The next generation of foldable phones, something everyone can imagine, but no one can achieve. We've been thinking about it for five years, and it's finally almost ready."

Zhongxin Securities issued a research report stating that the MateXT's inner screen could unfold to a size of 10 inches, nearly a 50% increase compared to the left-and-right folding models, offering a tablet-like experience. This new foldable form brings a significant surge in demand for flexible OLED panels. Tri-folding phones use two sets of hinges to connect three panels, leading to a doubled demand for MIM structural components in the hinge.

The explosive pre-orders for the Huawei MateXT Master Edition clearly demonstrate the high anticipation and enthusiasm consumers hold for tri-folding phones. As Huawei's latest foldable phone masterpiece, the MateXT is set to further drive the development of the foldable phone market. What surprises this phone will bring remains to be seen, but we eagerly await its arrival.
