I used the world’s first triple-fold smartphone for a month — here’s how it went

I recently got my hands on possibly the most exciting Android phone available: the HUAWEI Mate XT Ultimate Design. It’s been my daily driver for several weeks now, something that not many users outside of China can claim. The Mate XT has gone wherever I go, including flights, trips, and everyday activities. So, considering that I’ve put the device through its paces, how has the world’s most expensive phone held up after a month of regular use?

Before I get into my impressions in earnest, I want to remind you of the price: €3,500, or around $3,800 at the time of writing. Everything has to be perfect for that amount of money. While it does many things well, the Mate XT has many shortcomings, and on top of that price, it is difficult for me to recommend it to most people. However, from a technical standpoint, I can appreciate what HUAWEI has done here. This phone is an engineering marvel.
