Hats off to Huawei. After all their ban and limitations in the western market, they still continue to make amazing products. They even have a new phone OS coming up which I'm excited to see in person.
You CAN install full GMS on the Mate XT via MicroG services. There are video tutorials on TH-cam (Average logs) on how to install microG on HarmonyOS4.2. I did this on my old Mate X3. Average Dad TH-cam channel has a video with full GMS on his Mate XT.

It literally uses two DDIC to drive a single panel with 6 different zones in total. That's why if you're using 1/3 of the screen, the battery life is similar to a non-foldable phone. Because it can control how much zone it actually drive. And somehow they keep the consistency of quality through 6 zones. So I think 90Hz is totally acceptable considering one manufacturer still treat high refresh rate as a function to divide their normal and Pro series.🤣

Huawei isn't banned in Canada, just their networking for telecommunications and gov applications (after nonstop hounding from our peers did JT actually do something about it...). We could get their phones here, however after Google denied them access (I think that's how it went down) they had to do their own thing, and Canada being but a tiny country (Pop wise) and possibly the only English speaking one allowing their phones still we were simply not worth their time to reinvest. Their other items are in fact not banned including home networking watches and computers.
and I'm sure their phones are breaking in conditions more favorable than negative 10C, as I can see new phones breaking out of the box over the Great Firewall lol
U want one of them, and I want you to understand why they kept a 7Nm chip in that, If it was other company that got banned it would have dissappear like many brands did, but Huawei never gave up,so I say that 7nm processor, who cares they made impossible possible so I respect the 7nm Kirin.
Its not bad even. I mean yeah peak petformance is not there. But every day usage thanks to software optimization is so good that you might only notice it on very heavy games or longer rendering times for videos if you cut videos on such devices.

In the past ten years, Huawei has invested more than 1.11 trillion yuan in research and development expenses. As of the end of 2023, Huawei holds more than 140,000 valid authorized patents around the world. Some people call a company like this a copycat brand, how ridiculous.
They used to copy Samsung designs quite a bit, though. I can remember when the Ascend Mate came out, and everyone was like 'ah they copied the Galaxy Note 2'. I think their motivation at the time was 'very similar product for much cheaper', also reflected in their slogan if I recall correctly. Of course, everyone has been copying everyone all the time since we changed to touchscreen, so that is no surprise; but the point that they have come a long way from a cheaper copycat to where they are now, still holds.
This whole device is based off of stolen technology they paid $12 million for. Alot of those patents were similar technology from other companies that they patented in areas that competitors hadn't filled in yet. Sure Huawei has done some good engineering and probably have their own patents but they are still fundamentally a copy cat brand
@@peperoni_pepino The Three-fold is copied as well. Samsung have similar one in 2019. They just didn't Mass-manufactured it FOR the same reason why this Huawei phone Fail.
Same. I miss the days where everything felt so innovative and boundary pushing and seeing things like this phone or some of the things Elon is up to, I get so excited
Not to mention the new iPhone 16's are still using USB-C 2.0 transfer speed stuck in the year 2000 , is like riding a tricycle on the freeway while other smartphones zoom by in sports cars with USB 3.0 or 3.1. If you're transferring data, you might want to start a hobby-maybe knitting-because those newer models will have your files moved before you can say "grandpa tech"!
Just so you know, there are a few workarounds to install Google Play Services in this phone (some YT channels have videos on it). It's definitely not ideal, but it isn't impossible and doesn't require root or a different ROM. All of Huawei's optimizations remain intact. Also, if I had to guess, the autorotate bug is on TH-cam itself. I've seen reviewers playing games and using other apps where it rotates as you would expect.
That's true, it's very easy. Basically you only have to install 3 apks to get all of your apps working (except of Google Wallet Android Auto) For Google Wallet I use Curve now... which is even much better. And instead of having Android Auto I have now a full Android 14 box connected to my KIA EV6 witches also much better than only having Android Auto. Just to add ...Huawei Mate XT has IP68 rating
@@xerosclall apps i have tested are working... (~130)even my Banking Apps. Only Google Wallet and Android Auto are not working.You are so have 5G modem with the Kirin 9010
Unlike Linus said, you can actually use all Google apps and services on Huawei. You just have to do that through the layer of virtualization. For instance, in Russia they provide this solution right out of the box(you just have to start Google app through another app first, but after that you can have an icon on the desktop and run it like if it's native) , when I bought my Huawei tablet I was really concerned about Google apps. But now I'm 3 months in and find myself only using Gmail and TH-cam. And, moreover, it appears to be so much more power efficient without that Google "bloatware". In addition, I've also seen guides in russian about making all Google services to run almost natively(without virtualization) , strange that Linus couldn't find that stuff in english... 🤔
With a new Harmony OS you can't at least that's what I heard a couple of days ago but similar to you I only use and find useful Google maps and TH-cam, Gmail is just something I must have but wouldn't if there was the possibility to use a smartphone without an account.
Its a Huawei, you can easily bootloader unlock them, and use Magisk to force the google services onto it. I've done it with many over seas devices. Rooting also does not hurt optimization, if anything, you can use it to make the phone better.
Unlocking and rooting does break secure payment and high security apps like banking apps sadly :( At least that's the case for phones here in NA, not sure about Chinese/Huawei phones.
Hmmm....if only I can try it out on a current Huawei phone. If I can install Google services seamlessly, and can survive everything I throw at it, then I might consider switching to a Huawei as my next phone (I currently own a Mi 10 Ultra with 120W charging)
Super cool! Iv been a fold user for the last two years and im hooked, one of my favourite things is just blowing poeples minds unfolding in front of them to show them a photo or something, currently on a pixel fold 1 and absolutly loving it.
What's funny is that this phone has exactly the same hardware as all the other folding phones, it is just a clearly superior design concept. With all the other ones, they also have three big screens, it's just the front screen goes to waste once you open it.
In fact their hardware is different. Other folding screens can only fold inwards, while XT can fold both inwards and outwards. This difference is caused by the fact that XT uses organic polymer materials to make the folding screen, while other folding screens use inorganic materials.
@ the screens on the XT don’t fold both in and out, they still only ever make a 180 degree rotation. But either way, all I was meaning is that both kinds of vertical to tablet style folding phones have three full sized screens that need batteries and processing, so the hardware is not all that different, but the XT is just a far superior idea of the same number of screens.
I have the p30 pro's little brother (the p30). I switched to a xiaomi due to my battery deteriorating, but man that thing is still my favorite phone ever.
@@BrunoDias1234 I'm definitely not an apple fan, but I don't understand why everyone keeps saying this. It's a trackpad. They put a lil trackpad on their phone. I'm not saying it's good, and I'll never know cause I ain't going to switch to an iphone, but it is a new thing to try out. Especially for apple who tries to market something that everyone else has been doing for 3 years as a new innovation
@@AirIsLungFoodThe fingerprint reader on the back of old Xiaomi devices was also a trackpad. Not very useful though, IDK about apple's implementation. Obviously this is not a fair comparison as apple products are on a completely different price category but a trackpad on a phone is not apple's invention. I totally get premium phones though, now that I can afford flagship Samsungs I won't go back to cheap Xiaomis, but they served their purpose very well for me, for many years.
I think my favorite thing about both LTT and DBrand is the on going frenemy relationship that pops up in basically every video where dbrand is involved.
imagine a youtube update while watching the video, typing on the keyboard and seeing the message on the video and when you click enter goes as a comment, instead of pip mode or pausing and going up and down. amazingly fast interaction and smart!
The most shocking thing, is the fact they coded the UI, to also be useable in english. Despite it being china exclusive. Like I get it, most people from out of china, working in china. Earn fat stacks, but it goes to show. The engineers of Huawei, deserve all the praises they can get.
That's built in to the OS when they build their OS off of the Android Open Source code tree. Of course it's definitely a built from the ground up "Chinese homegrown" OS. :rolleyes:
If you are in china and making those stacks you're probably doing business in non china places and already know English, being able to hand your phone to a business contact to check something out on it makes sense and assuming it is android 90% of the code would be pre existing for most common languages anyway, minimal work for more usability.
When I got my first Huawei phone(p30) i realized how innovative they really were. They had really good gesture controls, a good windowed thing, volume bar, etc. they had all these qol things before Samsung or Apple.
They would have taken over the phone market, that's why they banned them. I still have my P10 64GB I purchased new in 2017. MicroSD, 3,5mm jack, OIS, 4k video recording, front-mounted proper fingerprint reader which could also control the navigation functions so they don't take up screen space. I have been using it for 6 years, but unfortunately last year I dropped it in the toilet 😭It works fine but the screen is dead and it's nearly impossible to get an original screen, and I know aftermarket ones are bad since I have several of them 😂
@@jacquesb5248 I mean there's no real difference for us europeans: iPhone = american spyware, Huawei = chinese spyware. At least Huawei makes better phones.
12:37 You can add Google services to it, I followed a youtube tutorial, apps auto update and all but I'm having issues with maps, not sure if its the phone or the app
This is a really interesting milestone. That's a practical demo that a market scale production of a device that is both a reasonable phone and reasonable tablet all in one can be made. I think whoever can pack a reasonably useful tablet and single hand phone into the same physical package is going to create a new subset of mobile devices that are truly 2 in 1 functionality, it'll be a new kind of market after smart phones enabled their hybrid of that and laptop which created the market for tablet computers in the first place.
I'm kinda glad Huawei didn't release this phone before I bought my Pura 70 ultra, because I would have definitely spent the extra money on it. Just a piece of fabulous art.
@@julienckjm7430 Some small fixable bugs have existed in devices for their entire lifespan of support making them really annoying to use, regardless of good *could* be. Not sure who's exactly at fault on this one. Only seemed to happen on the youtube, but should have been tested in a few other use cases.
12:28 Don't blame Huawei for no Google play store on the phone. Just like an old Chinese saying: You can't blame the toilet if you got constipation problem.
it's not an advanced technology at all. However his point is that most manufacturers simply don't go the extra mile to make that happen. I'm sure if Samsung did that on the fold, it would become so boring and insignificant.
Ah yeah I get the cold thing. We have a walk in freezer and you have to use specific plastic containers inside because some become brittle and disintegrate in your hands lol. The wheels on the steel cages also lock up because any kind of moisture freezes and expands in the tiny gaps in the bearings. Can't imagine what that would do to a phone that thin with hinges with super tight tolerances.
I'm sorry but you're talking nonsense about the Google support part. Huawei has been working with micro-g for a while so it allows system spoofing and lets you log in to google apps(but not play store, I guess that was why you had aurora store on the device). If yousee this comment just search up Average Dad's video of this
1:54 I loved having IR emitter on my old Huawei phone. It was perfect in hotels because fuck touching those gross remotes. It takes up so little space, I wish other manufacturers would keep that old school thing around.
Most hotels wipe down the remotes as part of the cleaning process as well as most of their remotes having anti-bacterial coatings built-in. As for using them in hotels, that makes sense since most hotel remotes don't allow you to switch sources though if you happened to want to use a Chromecast or Roku device instead of crappy cable or whatever paid crap is on the TVs.

Huawei stands as a true pioneer in mobile phone innovation. Despite facing significant restrictions, including a ban imposed by the United States aimed at supporting Apple by attempting to hinder Huawei's growth, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity and technology in mobile development. Remarkably resilient, Huawei continues to rise, reaching levels of innovation that few can rival. Their relentless commitment to advancing technology is evident as they introduce groundbreaking inventions, establishing themselves as leaders in fields where others have yet to tread.
This is defo a head-turner in public use. I remember I was using a folding phone here at least in South East Asia while sitting somewhere on a shopping mall last year (2023), and oh mannn everyone that passed by me was looking on the folding phone I was holding. Fun times!!
Fold phones aren't a head turner, I went to a concert a few weeks ago and saw 3 other people with one. Also fold phones makes it look like you're the grandma who is taking pictures with an ipad.
@Stevo.100 yeah that is also true, we all have different experiences and from my exp it kinda irritates me when people passing by looks at my folding phone so I also wish that people won't turn their heads whenever they see one
I used to think banning Chinese products was good for America, but now I see the downside. Without competition, U.S. companies are falling behind while others build superior products, OSs, app stores, and tech that they control. The U.S. could lose influence as the world opts for these products. People will find ways to access them, making the ban ineffective. Then it's game over for U.S companies. Avoiding competition is always bad.. Competition is always better for any market👈. Let them come, fund & support for compete🤔
In their early years when they were just getting into the market, they copied the tried and true designs to build up the brand, which I see absolutely nothing wrong with that, if things ain't broke don't fix it, there are brands that died because they thought they could reinvent the wheel @@alysander1439

What does that say? ?, that no matter how great they say any phone or device is, they will never change their iphone as a personal phone, then they are just hypocritical vlogers
When I've first heard about foldable phones, that's what immediately have come to mind. I don't think you can have a good form factor for folded and unfolded device, if you can only unfold it once. Definitely can't wait for devices like these to appear publicly and much cheaper. Amazing stuff.
You need to change that Thumbnail. I was about to skip over the video on my home feed because I didn't realise it was from short-circuit. Add Linus' face or something otherwise this might underperform.
I bought a P20 Pro before the whole prison thing happened with Huawei's CFO, still going strong. Lots of things I like about it. Don't know what I am going to do when it finally kicks the bucket. Its 6 years old now. I am way out of the loop on what other phone manufacturers are doing.
I would be careful to not get sand in the hinges and I would use the cover it comes with to protect the edges but otherwise the test went very well for a folding phone.
Dude, I want this thing so bad. Not only do you get an awesome landscape aspect ratio for media consumption, but I didn’t even consider until now the great vertical aspect ratio for being a giant e-reader or web surfer. Can’t justify the price currently but I am praying that other players adopt a similar construction eventually.
Reports from China state that this isn't a good device. Some have issues with the fold, others have issues with the device freezing up or slowness when just barely using it. Granted, this device does show promise, just need to work out the major kinks.
A major negative that linus didn't go into detail of is its durability. The phone is designed in a way that the main display, when folded up, is a plastic folding display, and unlike other folding displays, this one is always exposed. So, if you have anything in your pockets, even a grain of sand, your phone has a chance to get a permanent scratch. The hinges also dont have any dust protection, so dont take this phone to the beach. If sand gets in, it's not coming out. Another vulnerability is the phone thin design. It is thin enough to make the phone usable in folded mode, but unfolded It's so thin that a fall on a hard surface will definitely dent the frame, break a hinge, destroy the display, or a combination of all three. The phone design makes durable cases impossible to design, and the display is impossible to fortify with a screen protector. So, in my opinion, the phones main deal breaker is its durability. It is a phone that most people will damage even if they never drop it, and that's a major issue for a 2k phone.
tons of chinese users already complained about the phone with a broken, unusable screen within a week of use, and huawei left them to dry instead of giving them warranty repair, it's such a scam. linus is a sellout to the chinese gov, and if you look at the overwhelming positive comments here you know something really wrong is going on here, reminds me of Trump 2018 where the internet is filled with bots. before anyone thinks im racist or whatever, i'm chinese and live in china.

Huawei isn't banned in Canada, just their networking for telecommunications and gov applications (after nonstop hounding from our peers did JT actually do something about it...). We could get their phones here, however after Google denied them access (I think that's how it went down) they had to do their own thing, and Canada being but a tiny country (Pop wise) and possibly the only English speaking one allowing their phones still we were simply not worth their time to reinvest. Their other items are in fact not banned including home networking watches and computers.
"I can see why they didn't bring it to Canadian market" while Harbin can easily hits -10ºc
-25 when we were there in January. At that temperature, my battery life (Huawei P30 Pro) went down much faster than normal.

U want one of them, and I want you to understand why they kept a 7Nm chip in that, If it was other company that got banned it would have dissappear like many brands did, but Huawei never gave up,so I say that 7nm processor, who cares they made impossible possible so I respect the 7nm Kirin.
Its not bad even. I mean yeah peak petformance is not there. But every day usage thanks to software optimization is so good that you might only notice it on very heavy games or longer rendering times for videos if you cut videos on such devices.
If the us didn't play dirty by banning and sanctioning Chinese tech companies apple and samsung would be struggling to compete right now.
Those are expensive 7nm chips. CCP needs Huawei to do the military communications. There is no way Huawei will fail without CCP fails.

It needs a case that has titanium plates for the face/back and, when opened, latches onto the unfolded phone in a position where the case face/back reinforce the fold seams to prevent damage.
In the past ten years, Huawei has invested more than 1.11 trillion yuan in research and development expenses. As of the end of 2023, Huawei holds more than 140,000 valid authorized patents around the world. Some people call a company like this a copycat brand, how ridiculous.
They used to copy Samsung designs quite a bit, though. I can remember when the Ascend Mate came out, and everyone was like 'ah they copied the Galaxy Note 2'. I think their motivation at the time was 'very similar product for much cheaper', also reflected in their slogan if I recall correctly.
Of course, everyone has been copying everyone all the time since we changed to touchscreen, so that is no surprise; but the point that they have come a long way from a cheaper copycat to where they are now, still holds.
This whole device is based off of stolen technology they paid $12 million for. Alot of those patents were similar technology from other companies that they patented in areas that competitors hadn't filled in yet. Sure Huawei has done some good engineering and probably have their own patents but they are still fundamentally a copy cat brand
It's an incredible feat of engineering. Although a big target for thieves and alike. Nice

Just so you know, there are a few workarounds to install Google Play Services in this phone (some YT channels have videos on it). It's definitely not ideal, but it isn't impossible and doesn't require root or a different ROM. All of Huawei's optimizations remain intact.
Also, if I had to guess, the autorotate bug is on TH-cam itself. I've seen reviewers playing games and using other apps where it rotates as you would expect.

Unlike Linus said, you can actually use all Google apps and services on Huawei. You just have to do that through the layer of virtualization. For instance, in Russia they provide this solution right out of the box(you just have to start Google app through another app first, but after that you can have an icon on the desktop and run it like if it's native) , when I bought my Huawei tablet I was really concerned about Google apps. But now I'm 3 months in and find myself only using Gmail and TH-cam. And, moreover, it appears to be so much more power efficient without that Google "bloatware". In addition, I've also seen guides in russian about making all Google services to run almost natively(without virtualization) , strange that Linus couldn't find that stuff in english... 🤔
With a new Harmony OS you can't at least that's what I heard a couple of days ago but similar to you I only use and find useful Google maps and TH-cam, Gmail is just something I must have but wouldn't if there was the possibility to use a smartphone without an account.
@@vladimircurkoski1455 its currently in ruins the new harrmony os update
Its a Huawei, you can easily bootloader unlock them, and use Magisk to force the google services onto it. I've done it with many over seas devices. Rooting also does not hurt optimization, if anything, you can use it to make the phone better.
Good luck making the screens work properly with Google apps
Unlocking and rooting does break secure payment and high security apps like banking apps sadly :( At least that's the case for phones here in NA, not sure about Chinese/Huawei phones.

Super cool! Iv been a fold user for the last two years and im hooked, one of my favourite things is just blowing poeples minds unfolding in front of them to show them a photo or something, currently on a pixel fold 1 and absolutly loving it.
What's funny is that this phone has exactly the same hardware as all the other folding phones, it is just a clearly superior design concept. With all the other ones, they also have three big screens, it's just the front screen goes to waste once you open it.
In fact their hardware is different. Other folding screens can only fold inwards, while XT can fold both inwards and outwards. This difference is caused by the fact that XT uses organic polymer materials to make the folding screen, while other folding screens use inorganic materials.
@ the screens on the XT don’t fold both in and out, they still only ever make a 180 degree rotation. But either way, all I was meaning is that both kinds of vertical to tablet style folding phones have three full sized screens that need batteries and processing, so the hardware is not all that different, but the XT is just a far superior idea of the same number of screens.

Huawei stands as a true pioneer in mobile phone innovation. Despite facing significant restrictions, including a ban imposed by the United States aimed at supporting Apple by attempting to hinder Huawei's growth, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity and technology in mobile development. Remarkably resilient, Huawei continues to rise, reaching levels of innovation that few can rival. Their relentless commitment to advancing technology is evident as they introduce groundbreaking inventions, establishing themselves as leaders in fields where others have yet to tread.

I don't understand these technology influencers/vlogers, they always make videos of all the phones talking wonders, but at the end of the day they only use iPhone, in fact this guy, to have some reference, immediately takes the iPhone out of his pocket... What does that say? ?, that no matter how great they say any phone or device is, they will never change their iphone as a personal phone, then they are just hypocritical vlogers
crazy to see future level phones first from huawei... give it 5 years, all phones look like this....
Huawei was actually one of the most innovative smartphone brands before the US ban.
Im excited that linus is excited
1:04 that's what she said ......
😂😂😂
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger-huawei
Finally huawei is back on places like shortcircuit
When I've first heard about foldable phones, that's what immediately have come to mind. I don't think you can have a good form factor for folded and unfolded device, if you can only unfold it once.
Definitely can't wait for devices like these to appear publicly and much cheaper. Amazing stuff.

Super pause
0:53 You should be happy it's not from China.
You need to change that Thumbnail. I was about to skip over the video on my home feed because I didn't realise it was from short-circuit. Add Linus' face or something otherwise this might underperform.
They have rotating thumbnails….
I have Linus on mine.
Agreed. Linus needs to be on the right side of the thumbnail before I even consider clicking on the video.
I bought a P20 Pro before the whole prison thing happened with Huawei's CFO, still going strong. Lots of things I like about it. Don't know what I am going to do when it finally kicks the bucket. Its 6 years old now. I am way out of the loop on what other phone manufacturers are doing.
if you seen jerryrigeverythings durability's test you wouldn't want one lol
I would be careful to not get sand in the hinges and I would use the cover it comes with to protect the edges but otherwise the test went very well for a folding phone.
Dude, I want this thing so bad. Not only do you get an awesome landscape aspect ratio for media consumption, but I didn’t even consider until now the great vertical aspect ratio for being a giant e-reader or web surfer. Can’t justify the price currently but I am praying that other players adopt a similar construction eventually.
Just get a tablet bruh.
@@computerexperts903 it’s pocketable and can be used as a phone. There’s objective benefits, outside the price.
US government: Huawei, we will choke you to death.
Huawei: Good luck with that.
I love how sleek and innovative the Mate X2 is!! Huawei really nailed it with this foldable beauty. 👌
unbelievable! I would never have thought something like this would have ever been invented. From my first bag phone to this is crazy!
Linus tell Dbrand to make a Z Flip6 case please!!!!
I agree!!!

Reports from China state that this isn't a good device. Some have issues with the fold, others have issues with the device freezing up or slowness when just barely using it. Granted, this device does show promise, just need to work out the major kinks.
这是幸存者偏差，只有感觉体验不好时它的用户才会反馈，而体验不错时用户不会说什么，，实际上中国用户对他的评价十分不错，主要的问题反馈还是性能和价格

Such a random thing to quote from YOU
A major negative that linus didn't go into detail of is its durability. The phone is designed in a way that the main display, when folded up, is a plastic folding display, and unlike other folding displays, this one is always exposed. So, if you have anything in your pockets, even a grain of sand, your phone has a chance to get a permanent scratch. The hinges also dont have any dust protection, so dont take this phone to the beach. If sand gets in, it's not coming out.
Another vulnerability is the phone thin design. It is thin enough to make the phone usable in folded mode, but unfolded It's so thin that a fall on a hard surface will definitely dent the frame, break a hinge, destroy the display, or a combination of all three. The phone design makes durable cases impossible to design, and the display is impossible to fortify with a screen protector.
So, in my opinion, the phones main deal breaker is its durability. It is a phone that most people will damage even if they never drop it, and that's a major issue for a 2k phone.
tons of chinese users already complained about the phone with a broken, unusable screen within a week of use, and huawei left them to dry instead of giving them warranty repair, it's such a scam.
linus is a sellout to the chinese gov, and if you look at the overwhelming positive comments here you know something really wrong is going on here, reminds me of Trump 2018 where the internet is filled with bots.
before anyone thinks im racist or whatever, i'm chinese and live in china.
