Great video, waiting for your update regarding battery life as well as durability for everyday use. I'm guessing you are going to use this as your main phone for the next while, right?
What happens, when the new HarmonyOS Next Update comes to the Mate XT? Will there be any Google Apps be useable or will the MicroG App and all the Google apps cannot be used anymore?
Hi Saf could you direct me to the source you used to install Micro G ? I also have the Mate XT and although I am getting notifications, I am unable to use the Aurora store without getting errors
The Screen is a Thin glass like any other folding phone. But there has been a couple of incidents reported which i am not sure if its planned/foul play. From my use its been perfect. But yes, any folding phone screen is fragile which needs a little bit more care
@@Cool_Saf I have the z fold 5 and as you know it's very thick compared to the xt mate. To me, the thicker the stronger , and therefore I feel much more safe using a thicker folding phone than a thin one , but I am still trying to figure out if thickness is a factor is folding resistance or not..I really want the xt mate but there what is stopping me do far from buying it
@@immersionsensei I understand your point of view and its a valid point. Yes and no. Normal folding phones have Corning gorilla glass on the cover screen which is strong and u can still put a glass screen protector to make it more safer. But the inner screen are all thin glasses which I need extra care. This is where XT needs extra care as the cover screen is also thin glass. So from the stronger point of view XT is not suitable for rough use.
@@rxtra1 I will definitely sell it for much lesser than what's going on the market now. ATM 1TB is going for £5500. I will sell it for less than £5k for sure. I will update you soon
@@Cool_Saf That's right. But the next version is called "HarmonyOS NEXT", the completely new Huawei OS without any android source code. The update will be rolled out this year. Once the Mate XT will be updated to this OS, only Huawei app store apps will work. Trinity Electronic made a new video from Simon here at TH-cam.
@@Cool_Saf thks, cause huawei has always been on the top, so I think the real question here is... Did they beat Vivo with this triple that costs 3000€, let's don't forget it. It deserves to be on the top two at least 😅 Just my own opinion of course. The way I see it personally 🤭
@@daoueiof course I understand your point of view. Ive used both phones and both of them are brilliant in their own ways. However, I will soon make a comparison between them both
Great video man,, great review. Please do a review comparing it to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Vivo X Fold 3, Honor Magic V3, OnePlus Open, Galaxy S24 Ultra and Xiaomi Mix fold 4❤ I would like to camera, screen, charging/ battery, software, hardware, durability and everyday usability. Love your content lots man.❤
Too many pitfalls with this phone.. sales have already tanked in China, there have been numerous videos already put out that the screen doesn't even last past the setup stage, $2,800 price tag with a$1,400 repair bill for the screen once it gets broken and so so software.. I'll stick with my V2 and wait till the V4 comes out before buying again🤔
Hi. How did you manage to get your Google contacts to the Mate XT synchronized? Thanks.
Saw ur fb ad,subscribed for content
Thanks a lot mate. Much appreciated.
I would like to see a comparison with the Honor Magic V3 and this phone please.
Absolutely. That's coming soon
Great video, waiting for your update regarding battery life as well as durability for everyday use. I'm guessing you are going to use this as your main phone for the next while, right?
@@Kane2009 today is day 6 using the phone. And I can assure you this has been the best battery life I've used in any folding phone.
@@Cool_Saf great news, thanks for sharing!
@@Kane2009 you are always welcome my friend
What happens, when the new HarmonyOS Next Update comes to the Mate XT? Will there be any Google Apps be useable or will the MicroG App and all the Google apps cannot be used anymore?
@@RN-qy1cz Hi. It should be fine. I’ve had it in the past having google in huawei and after software update it was still fine
Wonder if there's a good Google wallet alternative for US cards which works with huawei
Can't think of any alternative atm
The most complete review of this device I have found. Thank you very much. The next video can you please compare its multitask with zfold 6 multitask?
Thanks a lot my friend. Much appreciated. Sure i will try to add that in my next video
Does this support stylus pen like the honor magic v3? That will be so cool if it does
Unfortunately not
Dude this is really cool! Did you get a review copy? How did you get one? I want one too but unfortubately the price is way yoo high haha
Thanks a lot mate. I will be selling this. Let me know if you are interested
great video Saf! 👏
Thanks a lot bro...
What is difference between Magic v3 and this one what is price difference 🎉
Hi. There is a ig difference in both. 2 vs 3 screen fold and massive price difference. Huawei is very expensive compared to V3
The only problem i see with this phone, is that you cannot use the main cameras for selfies right?
Yes, You can use the back main cameras for selfies
@@Cool_Saf oh, it seemed that you cannot use the screen whilst the camera section of the screen was folder inwards. Thanks for the clarification
@@htzionis You are welcome. thanks.
I don't think selfies are they main feature for this type of phone IMHO.
I think this phone is for more of the business minded consumer
@@blackstonesoftware7074 No the cameras are good including the selfies. If not the best, they are certainly good enough
I love this device, who did you use to import it?
From my dear friend - Average Dad
Why edit and cut only when folding the phone?
Sorry not sure i follow
@@Cool_Saf we both know you do
Hi Saf could you direct me to the source you used to install Micro G ? I also have the Mate XT and although I am getting notifications, I am unable to use the Aurora store without getting errors
Hi. There is a video from a youtuber called Gadgetsidekick. I used his video to install MicroG
How much did the phone cost you?
@@TheAnimatedWonders It costed me £5000. I would be selling it for £4500 as its 1TB
Is it true that the screen is very fragile and many screen have broken already by folding?

Does WhatsApp work when it's installed via Aurora store?
Yes it does work perfectly
Do you know if there will be a Global version of this phone ?
Global version coming 1st quarter of 2025. But again that will be without Google services
Hi. Does it support german language and 5G in Europe?
It only works on 4G as Huawei is banned from using 5G antennas
@@Cool_Saf Thanks a lot!
And does it support German language or only English?
@@RN-qy1czI didn't check if it supports German language. Let me check it and let u know
@@Cool_Saf Great. Thanks!!!!
@@RN-qy1czI checked and yes it supports German language as well.
Do you know the best place to purchase at the best price and import to the United States? Thank you in advance for you help.
If you want it now you can get one from Average dad tech store or if you want to wait for a week or 2 you can get it from me.
@@Cool_Saf I can wait a week or 2 and get it from you. What would be the cost?
@@rxtra1 I will definitely sell it for much lesser than what's going on the market now. ATM 1TB is going for £5500. I will sell it for less than £5k for sure. I will update you soon
@@Cool_Saf Okay sounds good. I will wait to hear from you. Thanks!!
@@rxtra1 thanks a lot mate
If you update to harmony os next, will it still access Google services
You still would be fine. As google services are installed as an app.
I heard, that then only apps from the Huawei app store are working on the phone, nothing else. No APK etc.
@@RN-qy1cz I am using the latest harmony OS 4.2.0.111 and all Google apps work perfectly

I'd rather to see a comparison with the X Fold 3 Pro to know if Huawei made it that high or not. That's Huawei, and it deserves a real duel...
Of course...I will try to get one to Do a comparison

Awesome content. Can you please show how watching netflix looks like. Is it water proof? Thanks again.
Hi. Yes, its got Splashproof but not waterproof. Sure in my next video i will include Netflix as it does play well in the phone
How to install vanced on it
Hi I am not sure if Vanced can be installed
@@Cool_Saf why not
so how did aurora store get there?...was it native and was already installed on the phone?
Hi. The aurora store was installed as a 3rd party(side loaded) app from aurora website
@@Cool_Saf thank you for the great video and quick response.....greatly appreciated... i hope to get the x mate sooner or later....
@@HonorV2ultimate1tb Thanks a lot my friend. Much appreciated.
Nice work, where did you get it from?
Thanks a lot mate. I got it from Average dad store
Price
Price varies as due to no stock all of them are selling for way over the RRP
I want the comparison among Samsung, pixel, Honor and Huawei foldable phones.
Hi. I am planning to do that comparison very soon
