Buy or not a tablet . That is the big question when the mobile falls short to work or see content comfortably. At that point, more doubts arise: if it is worth investing in another device, if it compensates to always carry it, if we really need it. Everything has its pros and cons. But what if there was a single screen for everything?
What recently sounded to experiment today is a reality that steps strongly: folding mobiles have taken another step. They are no longer folded only by two; now they also fold in three. The most striking example is the new Huawei Mate XTS Ultimate Design, the second triplegable device from the company. The Chinese brand presents it with a clear objective: attract those seeking more than a traditional smartphone.

A Huge Screen and the Entire Huawei Muscle
This mobile is a sophistication exercise. The rear wears a textured finish that highlights even more with its octagonal camera module, framed in gold. Metal edges maintain the same tone, creating a uniform and elegant aesthetic. It is available in black, white, purple, and soft red , all with golden details that reinforce their exclusive character.
Huawei had already surprised with the Mate XT, its first three-folding device. Now, with this Mate XTS, it refines its proposal without drastic changes with the naked eye, but with improvements that make it more ambitious. The main protagonist is the screen: an X-True panel of 10.2 inches and 3K resolution that folds into two points to adopt different sizes according to its use. It can become a 7.9-inch tablet or a 6.4-inch smartphone , always with a 92% screen ratio that takes full advantage of the space.
The panel includes LTPO technology to dynamically adjust the refresh rate, offering a more fluid experience. Despite its size, Huawei has managed to make the device surprisingly light in hand, and its construction with materials such as UTG glass and reinforced components promises to provide resistance without sacrificing elegance.
Under the hood, the Mate XTS premieres the new Kirin 9020 processor , accompanied by HarmonyOS 5.1 . Huawei claims a jump of more than 36% in performance compared to its predecessor, optimizing multitasking, applications, and energy consumption. Moreover, it incorporates advanced antennas and satellite connectivity, allowing you to maintain communication even without land coverage.
The photographic section is one of its standout features. It includes a three-camera system : a 50 MP main camera with a variable aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0) and optical stabilization, an ultra-wide angle of 40 MP , and a 12 MP telephoto lens offering 5.5x optical zoom (digital zoom up to 50x). The 8 MP front camera comes with features like double view, allowing photographers to preview shots from both sides of the screen.
Autonomy is sustained by a 5600 mAh battery with silicon anode, promising durability without compromising thickness. It supports fast charging of 66 W via cable and 50 W wirelessly . Huawei has focused on productivity: this mobile is compatible with the M-Pen 3 pencil, which allows users to draw, take notes, or control presentations with air gestures. A Bluetooth keyboard is also available for enhanced productivity.
On the software side, the experience is designed to utilize the triplegable format effectively. HarmonyOS 5.1 includes a multiventana mode, allowing users to stack applications, drag content between screens, and run full PC apps like WPS Office or graphic editing programs. Features such as screen translation and a voice assistant enhance the overall user experience.
