According to the company's website, as of mid-September 10, more than 3.5 million people had pre-ordered the Mate XT tri-folding smartphone. Huawei did not mention any chip advancements during the product launch.

The Chinese tech giant is looking to re-enter the smartphone market after being banned by the US in 2019. In October 2022, the US imposed broader bans on advanced chips sold to the Chinese market. However, in late August 2023, Huawei unexpectedly announced the Mate 60 Pro, which uses chips manufactured based on the 7nm process.

At the event, Mr. Yu affirmed that Huawei will not give up despite the 4 rounds of embargo. Huawei started the event by discussing the details and price of Mate XT.
