The Huawei Mate X Ts Ultimate pushes the foldable category into rarely seen territory: it is a tri-foldable device that opens out into a tablet-class 10.2-inch LTPO OLED panel, yet folds back down to a pocketable bar. Announced on September 4, 2025 and released later that month on September 29, it sits at the very top of Huawei’s experimental form-factor lineup, pairing the in-house Kirin 9020 chipset with HarmonyOS 5.1 for the Chinese market.
With a triple dual-fold hinge, a 50 MP variable-aperture main camera, a 5600 mAh silicon-carbon battery, and a price of roughly 2160 EUR (China pricing), this is unapologetically a flagship for early adopters. The sections below break down what the specifications mean in practice, where the device shines, and who it is genuinely built for.

Design and Build: A Genuine Tri-Foldable
The headline of the Mate X Ts Ultimate is its three-panel folding architecture. Unfolded, it measures 156.7 x 219 x 3.6-4.8 mm, while folded it thickens to 156.7 x 73.5 x 12.8 mm as the three layers stack. At 298 g it is heavier than a conventional slab phone, which is expected given the multi-hinge mechanism and larger glass area, but the trade-off is a device that transitions between phone, dual-screen, and full tablet modes. Stylus support and a dual Nano-SIM tray round out a body clearly aimed at productivity-minded users who want one device to cover several roles.
Display: From 6.4 Inches to a 10.2-Inch Canvas
The display system is the most distinctive part of this phone. The main tri-foldable LTPO OLED spans 10.2 inches at 2232 x 3184 pixels (~381 ppi), with a roughly 91.9% screen-to-body ratio when fully opened. Folding it in stages reveals a 7.9-inch dual-display state (2048 x 2232) and a 6.4-inch cover display (1008 x 2232) for one-handed use. The panel supports 1B colors, a 90Hz refresh rate, and 1440Hz PWM dimming to ease eye strain in low light. The 90Hz ceiling is more conservative than the 120Hz seen on many flagships, a reasonable concession to power and panel complexity on a foldable this large.
Performance and Software
Inside sits Huawei’s Kirin 9020 built on a 7 nm process, with an octa-core CPU (1×2.4 GHz, 3×2.00 GHz, 4×1.6 GHz) and a Maleoon 920 GPU. Every storage tier ships with 16GB of RAM, paired with 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of internal storage; there is no microSD expansion. The software is HarmonyOS 5.1, a China-market release that leans into multi-window and continuity features that suit the multi-screen hardware. Buyers outside China should note this is a China-region device, so app ecosystem and service availability differ from global Android handsets.
Camera System
The rear array is a triple setup led by a 50 MP wide sensor with a variable f/1.4-f/4.0 aperture, 1/1.56″ sensor, PDAF, and OIS. It is joined by a 12 MP periscope telephoto (f/3.4, 125mm, 5.5x optical zoom, OIS) and a 40 MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 13mm) with PDAF. A laser AF module, color spectrum sensor, and LED flash support the system, and video tops out at 4K@60fps with gyro-EIS, OIS, and HDR Vivid. The 8 MP selfie camera is modest on paper but also records up to 4K@30fps. The variable aperture and long-reach periscope make this a versatile imaging package rather than a one-trick foldable.
Battery and Charging
A 5600 mAh Si/C (silicon-carbon) Li-Ion battery powers the device, a sensible capacity given the large foldable panel. Charging covers 66W wired and 50W wireless, plus 7.5W reverse wireless and 5W reverse wired for topping up accessories. The silicon-carbon chemistry helps fit more capacity into a thin chassis, though real-world endurance will depend heavily on how often the full 10.2-inch display is in use.
Connectivity and Extras
Connectivity is comprehensive: Wi-Fi 7 (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2 with L2HC, NFC, an infrared port, and USB Type-C 3.1 with DisplayPort 1.2 and OTG. Positioning support is broad, spanning GPS (L1+L5), GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometrics, and the device adds BDS Satellite Calling and Messaging, available in China only. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack and no FM radio, but stereo speakers are included.
Who Should Buy It
The Mate X Ts Ultimate is best suited to power users, mobile professionals, and foldable enthusiasts in China who want the largest possible screen in a phone-class device and are comfortable within the HarmonyOS ecosystem. At around 2160 EUR it is a premium, niche purchase rather than a mainstream upgrade. Anyone who primarily needs a single conventional screen, relies on global app services, or wants a 120Hz display will find better value elsewhere, but for those chasing a true tri-fold experience, there are few direct alternatives.
Conclusion
The Huawei Mate X Ts Ultimate is a showcase device that prioritizes form-factor innovation over mass-market practicality. Its tri-foldable 10.2-inch display, capable variable-aperture camera system, and well-rounded connectivity make it one of the most ambitious foldables available, while the China-only HarmonyOS 5.1 software, 90Hz cap, and steep ~2160 EUR price keep it firmly in enthusiast territory. Recommended for productivity-focused buyers and foldable collectors within the Chinese market who want a no-compromise multi-screen flagship; more cautious buyers should confirm current pricing and availability through official Huawei channels before purchasing.
