📱 Huawei Mate XT launched on September 20th but is facing significant screen damage issues. The screen is extremely fragile, leading to leaks and cracks with minimal mishandling.
😱 A user reported a black line appearing on the screen after just unboxing the phone. Another user shared a photo of their Mate XT with a completely blackened screen after only a few hours of use.
🛠️ Many customers are criticizing the trifold design for its lack of practicality and high repair costs. Users have noted that the phone is more expensive than high-end laptops, yet offers no significant advantages.
💸 The Mate XT is priced at 9,999 Yen for the base model and 23,990 Yen for the high-end version. Despite its high price, many consumers find it impractical and cumbersome.
🔧 Repair costs for the Mate XT are steep, with inner screen repairs costing around 5,599 Yen. Users have reported issues with creases and uneven areas even before use.
📉 The initial production batch was limited to 500,000 units due to supply chain challenges, including difficulties in acquiring advanced chips since US sanctions began in 2019.
🛑 Complaints about Huawei's foldable phones are rampant, with many users experiencing screen leaks and cracks shortly after purchase. Customer service often blames user error, leaving consumers frustrated.
⚠️ A user reported spending 177,000 Yen on a Mate X5, only to face screen issues within a month. Many others have shared similar experiences, leading to skepticism about Huawei's foldable technology.
📉 The resale market for the Mate XT has seen prices plummet from 90,000 Yen to under 30,000 Yen within days, indicating weak demand and a potential market collapse.
🤔 Overall, the high failure rates, steep repair costs, and poor customer service raise serious doubts about the viability of Huawei's foldable phones.
