After weeks of teasing<\/a>, Huawei has officially launched<\/a> the world\u2019s first dual-hinged, triple-screen foldable phone and it\u2019s just as expensive as we feared. In China, prices for the Mate XT Ultimate Design start at 19,999 yuan (about $2,809) for the 256GB storage model \u2014 that\u2019s roughly $300 more than a brand-new 16-inch MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All models are equipped with 16GB of RAM, and two additional storage variants are available that cost 21,999 yuan (about $3,089) for 512GB and 23,999 yuan (about $3,370) for 1TB. Chinese retailer Vmall<\/a> reported 3.7 million preorders before pricing was announced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Mate XT features an inverse dual-hinge design that folds in a \u201cZ\u201d shape, allowing it to be used in a variety of formats. The OLED display measures 6.4-inches when fully collapsed as a traditional single-screen device. When fully unfolded, that display increases to 10.2-inches (2,232 x 3,184) and can still be used when partially unfurled in a smaller 7.9-inch configuration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The device comes with a 5,600mAh battery and supports 66W of wired charging or 50W wirelessly. There\u2019s a triple camera setup located on the rear that consists of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and a 12-megapixel periscope camera. The hole-punch selfie camera on the front is 8 megapixels, and located on the left-most screen when the device is fully unfolded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
