"Tri-fold phone or solid gold mobile phone? Huawei made netizens stir again"
When the phone becomes a living room decoration
You don’t need to be a technology fan to know that the Huawei Mate Price range? Just over 100,000 USD – equivalent to 2.5 billion VND, equal to a luxury apartment or a mid-range supercar.
Notably, this version is not widely available, but is designed specifically for a special customer in the US – a country known for being unfriendly to the Huawei brand. Could it be that this guest is secretly sending some message through this heavy piece of technology… both figuratively and literally?
More luxurious, more gold-plated, but still… a phone
In addition to the “final boss” version above, Caviar also launched a softer 24K gold-plated Huawei Mate XT Ultimate version, priced at “only” about 17,340 USD (441 million VND). The product is limited to 88 pieces – a number that is not only associated with luck in Chinese culture but also serves as a gentle reminder: “Hey, this is not a mass product!”
From a certain perspective, these gold-plated phones are not only for use but also as a collection item, even an investment. However, when picking up this 1 kg phone, do users have to go to the gym first to avoid hand fatigue?
Configuration: Yes, it’s folding, but it’s also bumpy
Undeniably, Huawei Mate XT Ultimate still retains its technological strengths. The device has a flexible OLED screen with three folding modes, ranging in size from 6.4 inches single folded to 10.2 inches when fully opened. The parameters of scanning frequency, PWM dimming or touch sampling rate are all remarkable – but we would probably need a golden microscope to check its level of luxury!
The device is also equipped with Kirin 9010 chip (7nm), 50 megapixel main camera, and 5,600mAh battery that supports fast charging. These parameters are certainly enough to meet the needs of taking “check-in” photos at luxury restaurants. But with a weight of nearly 300 grams (not including gold plating), do users need to add… a neck strap to avoid dropping it?
Standard version: Surprised by the “affordable price”
If you are not a fan of “show off” versions, the standard Huawei Mate XT Ultimate for 70 million VND in China is probably a more viable choice. It is known that Huawei is expected to launch globally in early 2025, so you can wait a little longer if you want to buy without having to fly to China.
Of course, it is not uncommon for people to spend billions to buy a gold-plated phone. But what is worth noting is that this super-rich customer chose Huawei – a brand that is under a lot of pressure in the US market. This makes many people curious: Is this a purely technological choice or a way to assert its own class?
In short, whether it is “top technology” or “a toy for the super rich”, the story of Huawei Mate XT Ultimate will certainly continue to heat up forums in the near future. And you, are you willing to spend 2.5 billion VND on a phone just to feel “lighter in your pocket”?
