Description:
We've got another official look at what's coming from Huawei, but this is a China exclusive for now.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The first tri-foldable phone is almost here, and we've got another look at
it: the Huawei Mate XT officially launches this coming Tuesday , but images and storage options have already been posted online by Huawei.

You can head to the Huawei store now to see the Mate XT in a red finish with gold accents. The site now lets you reserve the phone in China, and the storage options are listed as either 512GB or 1TB, which both come with 16GB of memory.

Huawei previously posted the same image on social media, and noted tipster Evan Blass has also shared the picture of the phone with a different dark
gray color. It looks as though these are the two colors that buyers can
choose between.

Unfortunately, it looks as though the Mate XT won't be available outside of China not least because Huawei devices are still banned in the US. The rest of us are going to have to wait to get our hands on a tri-folding phone. Another fold Huawei has history with foldables (Image credit: Future)

The addition of an extra fold to the standard foldable form factor adds an extra engineering challenge for Huawei, but it also means part of the main display can double up and be used as the outer display when the device is folded.

With the Mate X and the Mate X2 , Huawei has previously produced two
different types of standard book-style foldables: one folding inward and one folding outward. That technical know-how has no doubt been useful in creating the Mate XT.

We've also previously seen a teaser video for the Huawei Mate XT, which
offers a brief look at the phone in use. We're still waiting for some key details about the phone, including the main screen size and the chipset
that's being used inside.

All should be revealed on Tuesday, September 10: everything gets started at 2.30pm China time, which means it'll be 11.30pm PT on September 9, and 2.30am ET / 7.30am BST / 4.30pm AEST on September 10.
