HUAWEI MATE XT
Why just have one fold when you can have two (at twice the price)?
Case for the prize
The bundled case feels a bit plasticky, but it protects the outer screen edge. And the built-in kickstand is handy.
Bling me sunshine
With red faux-leather, a polished frame finished in gold and the words ‘ULTIMATE DESIGN’, this phone is not demure.
F
un fact: the cost of a flight to Dubai to buy a Mate XT will set you back less than the device itself. It’s one of the few countries outside of China to stock it, while being stuck on the software back foot continues to hamper Huawei’s appeal here in the West. Still, being able to concertina a 10.2in tablet in enough places that it slips into a trouser pocket does soften the blow a bit.
