Huawei has revealed the cost of replacement parts<\/a> for the world\u2019s first dual-hinged, triple-screen folding phone, and it\u2019s another round of sticker shock. The Mate XT Ultimate Design<\/a> starts at around $2,809, but should you damage its folding screen enough to need repairs, you\u2019ll be potentially paying an additional 7,999 yuan, or around $1,123, for a replacement OLED panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s assuming you agree to let Huawei recycle the damaged screen for free. Should you turn down that offer, a new screen for the Mate XT will instead cost you 9,799 yuan, or over $1,376. Ouch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

More folds mean more potential points of failure.<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Huawei<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Huawei does offer some ways to save money on screen repairs for its new trifold phone<\/a>. A refurbished replacement screen is slightly cheaper at 6,999 yuan (about $983). The company is also selling screen replacement insurance plans that start at 3,499 yuan (about $492) for a single screen replacement within the first year after the Mate XT is purchased. That\u2019s certainly cheaper than paying the full price for a repair but still expensive for just a year\u2019s worth of coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Other replacement parts for the Mate XT Ultimate Design are a little cheaper, including a 499 yuan (about $70) battery and cameras that range in price from 269 to 759 yuan (about $38 to $107). However, users will want to keep their fingers crossed that nothing happens to the Mate X\u2019s motherboard. A replacement is a steep 9,099 yuan (about $1,278).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
