Just As I Thought Double Folding Telephones,

were the norm,

photographs Huawei, along comes a triple folding phone! behold the Mate XT Ultimate Design smartphone, a folding phone that can transform into a 10.2-inch tablet,

Chinese tech giant Huawei has launched its described by Huawei as "the first-ever commercial triple foldable phone", the main innovation of the Mate XT Ultimate Design is a flexible OLED touchscreen that is hinged in two directions,

when open the 3,000-pixel 10.2-inch screen delivers what the brand called "cinema-level immersive viewing" with a screen ratio of 16 by 11, the device switches automatically between single, dual and triple screen modes as the screen unfolds,

Huawei's suggested uses for the phone in its fully unfolded mode include reading books and magazines with double-page spreads or using email and apps as you would on a tablet, 

the key features of the phone include its array of four cameras, including one with a ten-stop variable aperture telephoto lens that allows the user to control how much light enters the camera, 

 the Mate XT smartphone will go on sale on 20 September but is expected to be available only in China, the company has been faced with sanctions from countries including the United States, which sees it as a national security risk despite Huawei's denials, but I guess ‘grey’ Mates will start to appear for those who simply must have the latest Must Have.
