For modern professionals constantly on the move, powerful yet portable devices are essential. For Makati Business Club Executive Director Rafael “Apa” Ongpin, Huawei’s latest foldable flagship, the HUAWEI Mate XT, checks all the boxes.
Ongpin recently had hands-on experience with the Mate XT and hailed it as a productivity game-changer. “It’s for a wide range of people. It has great capabilities, excellent processing power, and the battery life is particularly impressive,” he said.
Engineering excellence meets elegant design
At just 3.6mm thin when unfolded, the HUAWEI Mate XT is a tri-fold device engineered with precision. Wrapped in a luxurious leather finish and accented by an Umber Gold Waistline, the device features HUAWEI’s Noble ID design and Eonic Curves for a premium feel.
“It’s beautifully engineered—it really speaks of quality and thoughtfulness,” Ongpin noted. “The folding mechanism is smooth and seamless. It’s an admirable piece of engineering.”
The Mate XT is also the world’s first foldable with both inward and outward folding capability, crafted with ultra-thin glass, multi-directional materials, and a high-strength steel hinge system for durability.
One device, infinite possibilities
The tri-fold form allows users to switch effortlessly between phone and tablet modes. Ongpin, who frequently handles communication, research, and presentations on the go, finds the large display invaluable. “I could do all my work on this thing,” he said. “The bigger screen makes a huge difference.”
The Mate XT features three screen modes:
- Single Screen Mode for quick calls and emails,
- Dual Screen Mode for multitasking and document comparisons, and
- Triple Screen Mode for full desktop-style productivity, complete with multi-window support.
With the addition of a Bluetooth keyboard and stylus, the device transforms into a powerful mobile workstation.
A camera that impresses
As a photography enthusiast, Ongpin also praised the device’s Ultra Chroma Camera system. “I’m very impressed with the images it produces—it’s great for social media and even professional presentations.”
Long-lasting power for a demanding lifestyle
Despite its sleek profile, the Mate XT houses a 5,600mAh battery capable of lasting more than two days on a single charge. “It’s perfect for someone like me who’s always on the go,” Ongpin said. “You’re practically taking your office with you.”
He dubbed the Mate XT the “first true phablet,” adding, “It’s both a phone and a tablet. It gives you a lot of room and flexibility to work.”
Designed for today’s business leaders
“It has a great interface and is very user-friendly,” Ongpin concluded. “I was able to learn its features quickly. It’s an excellent business tool.”
