Huawei MateXT Masterpiece Wins Time Magazine's 2024 Most Innovative Consumer Electronics Product Award, Leading the Tri-fold Era

On October 31st, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece was awarded the 2024 Most Innovative Consumer Electronics Product Award by Time Magazine. As one of the three major news weeklies in the United States, Time Magazine enjoys a high reputation internationally. Every year, Time Magazine selects the most influential new products and innovative ideas in its "Time 100 Best Inventions" special issue. The Huawei MateXT Masterpiece, with its revolutionary tri-fold design, stood out from numerous excellent products and won the "Most Innovative Consumer Electronics Product Award".

Time Magazine's review stated that when fully unfurled, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece resembles a tablet, boasting an impressive 10.2-inch display and an even more remarkable ultra-thin design of just 3.6 millimeters. Surpassing global competitors, Huawei became the first company to launch a tri-fold phone.

The Huawei MateXT Masterpiece made its debut at the Huawei Visionary Brand Gala on September 10th. This is the world's first commercially available tri-fold screen phone and a new member of the Masterpiece brand. Yu Chengdong, Huawei's Executive Director, CEO of the Consumer BG, and CEO of the Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, declared at the launch event: "With the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece, the world's first commercially available tri-fold screen phone, Huawei is rewriting industry history once again, turning science fiction into reality, and leading the new era of foldable phones!"

This epoch-making "creation that everyone desires but cannot achieve" boasts groundbreaking innovations in new materials, technologies, and processes. It achieved the world's first tri-fold large-screen design featuring a 3K ultra-clear flexible immersive display. The screen size is 6.4 inches in single-screen mode, 7.9 inches in dual-screen mode, and expands to a remarkable 10.2 inches in full tri-fold mode, making it the "world's thinnest foldable phone" with a thickness of just 3.6 millimeters when unfurled.

Leveraging the advantages of tri-folding, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece offers three modes: single-screen, dual-screen, and tri-screen, enabling a single device to serve multiple purposes and adapt to various usage scenarios. Enjoy effortless convenience with the single screen, efficient browsing with the dual screen, or immersive reading with the tri-screen. Furthermore, the elongated rectangular aspect ratio when unfolded provides a superior visual experience for watching videos, viewing images, or presenting slideshows compared to dual-fold screens.

To meet the stringent requirements for screen bending performance in tri-folding, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece incorporates a multi-directional bending flexible material that resists compression in the outward fold and stretching in the inward fold. Beyond its thinness, the screen is also robust. The Huawei MateXT Masterpiece employs a composite ultra-tough structure combining a non-Newtonian fluid material with a 322cm UTG composite anti-impact material, offering double impact resistance.

In the crucial hinge design, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece utilizes the Huawei Tian Gong Hinge System and innovatively introduces an embedded slide structure for the inward-folding hinge and an integrated linkage structure for the outward-folding hinge. This achieved an extremely thin and sleek feel and experience for the hinge.

Beyond its revolutionary screen design and meticulous craftsmanship, the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece boasts numerous other highlights:

• Super Variable Aperture XMAGE Imaging: The world's first tri-fold screen phone with ten-level variable aperture support.

• Lingxi Communication: Effortless switching between single, dual, and tri-screen modes; intelligent signal strength recognition.

• Satellite Calls: Transcending boundaries, fully unfurled tri-screen design unlocks satellite communication, allowing calls and messages even without a network.

The birth of the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece marks an innovative evolution in smartphone design and craftsmanship. The smartphone industry officially enters a new era of tri-fold technology. This product not only signifies Huawei's continuous leadership in technological innovation but also serves as compelling proof of Huawei's commitment to constantly disrupting tradition and delivering unprecedented user experiences.

Huawei's "five years of dedication and investment" in the foldable screen field have culminated in the remarkable arrival of the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece. In fact, since launching the industry's first foldable phone, the Huawei MateX, in 2019, Huawei has consistently led the exploration of future smartphone form factors. Today, Huawei is one of the few manufacturers mastering various foldable screen technologies, including inward folding, outward folding, and vertical folding. It is also a pioneer in driving the evolution of foldable phones towards lightweight and all-round capabilities.

As Huawei continues to explore lightweight designs, it also pushes the boundaries of foldable screen experiences. The MateX5, a foldable flagship that embodies lightness and all-round capabilities, is a perfect example of this philosophy.

While upholding its lightweight design, the Huawei MateX5 Collector's Edition is equipped with a new Xuanwu tempered Kunlun glass outer screen and a shock-resistant non-Newtonian fluid inner screen. The outer screens scratch resistance is enhanced by 300%, while the overall drop resistance is improved by 100%, achieving Mohs hardness level 7. With such a reliable outer screen, users need not worry about accidental drops, even from keys, scissors, or lipstick and powder compacts, as they will not damage the outer screen.

The Huawei MateX5 offers IPX8 water resistance and features a new wet-touch control. In terms of communication, the Lingxi communication technology solution leverages Lingxi antennas, Lingxi AI algorithms, and Lingxi networking to fully tap into the latent potential of communication signals. Through optimized component performance and layout, the Huawei MateX5 achieves a comprehensive enhancement in communication capabilities, consistently providing users with a premium communication experience. The Huawei MateX5 also supports two-way Beidou satellite messaging. In areas without ground signal coverage, users can send and receive messages with each other through the Huawei MateX5's two-way Beidou satellite messaging, select multiple location information points to generate trajectory maps, and more, adding an extra layer of signal protection and security.

In terms of imaging, the Huawei MateX5s Super Sensing XMAGE imaging enables full-focal-length coverage and supports suspended group photos, suspended selfies, and suspended time-lapse photography. More importantly, the Huawei MateX5 is one of the few foldable screen products in the industry equipped with a periscope lens. It boasts 5x optical zoom capability and supports up to 50x digital zoom, achieving ultra-clear shooting at all times and all focal lengths. The integrated Fengchi Flash Shoot accelerates the entire process from camera startup, focusing, and shutter activation to preview and photo generation, allowing users to capture spontaneous moments faster than ever.

In terms of the display, Huawei's immersive display technology ensures consistent clear display on both the inner and outer screens of the Huawei MateX5. The dual certification for professional color accuracy from TV Rheinland in Germany delivers unmatched high-definition display effects. Both inner and outer screens support anti-reflective technology, ensuring clear display even under strong light sources. Additionally, the Huawei MateX5 boasts a 5060mAh high-silicon negative electrode large battery, guaranteeing worry-free battery life.

Five years ago, Huawei launched the first foldable phone, the MateX, despite significant R&D costs, and expanded the scope of people's imagination for the future of smartphones. In the past five years, Huawei has continuously innovated and launched a series of foldable screen products, focusing on key areas such as high-end design, hinge technology, lightweight design, reliability, innovative interaction, and large-screen application ecosystems, consistently redefining user perception of foldable phones.

Whether it's the Huawei MateXT Masterpiece, which ignited the imagination of tri-folding, or the Huawei MateX5, which leads the revolution of lightweight all-round capabilities, every new product from Huawei drives innovation and progress in foldable screen technology. These innovations not only profoundly reshape the competitive landscape but also constantly exceed consumer expectations for foldable screen products.

Foldable screens today look to Huawei, and the future of smartphones remains with Huawei.
