Weibo tipster @AdakFenglangjuxu mentioned that Huawei device users who upgraded to HarmonyOS NEXT can use the WeChat seamless chat transfer tool.

From the name, the feature will efficiently transfer all the chat records of WeChat to the new software system, without losing any details or other data of the app. Ensure that you are using the WeChat HarmonyOS NEXT application version.

The feature seems quite effective. Often users concern about the device data and chats while upgrading their device to a new OS. Doing so leads to conversation loss and requires multiple processes to transfer the chat records locally.

Although WeChat HarmonyOS NEXT app has resolved this problem with a seamless chat transfer tool. Note this feature will only support Huawei devices upgraded to the HarmonyOS NEXT beta version. Others have to wait for subsequent builds.

The tipster further reveals that HarmonyOS NEXT has great changes for the Control Center. It may also bring an iOS-like live map to users for easy navigation.

HarmonyOS NEXT could further adopt a one-tap lock screen access capability and some more effective changes. A recent feature of the new OS is app cloning which can split the original app into 5 clones so that users can effectively run the application.

More such features are on the way. Many native HarmonyOS apps are now open for public testing. The drawback is only HarmonyOS NEXT beta users can explore these applications. But Huawei may expand the software testing to more device owners in the coming weeks.

Weibo tipster @BrotherRuiDigital says that the Huawei HarmonyOS 4.4 is coming. The software seems laggy but extraordinary. It may go official in the next few weeks.

Responding to the leak, a few netizens said that Huawei might be releasing this software as the last “HarmonyOS 4” version for its devices, making them compatible with the next major upgrade. Hereafter, the company will unveil the HarmonyOS NEXT.

Some also said that Huawei might introduce this software system with the Nova 13 series. The high-end smartphone lineup is expected to launch this month. These new models could come out of the box with the HarmonyOS 4.4 operating system.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed any such details about a new software system so far. Although the company may launch such a feature for its old devices after the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta release for eligible handsets. Yes, the new build may work as a baseline build for old devices before upgrading to the major update.

Being the world’s first triple-folding phone, Huawei has crafted the device with full dedication and determination. It’s “one machine with multiple functions”.

Let’s tour out Huawei Mate XT specifications and price details.

Top Features:

• Vein-textured and thin design
• tri-folding screens
• Reliable Tiangong Hinge
• Large 10.2-inch display
• 10-speed variable aperture
• Advanced-level AI features

Design

Huawei has used cutting-edge technologies to craft the world’s first triple-foldable phone. The phone comes in a star diamond outlook. It has a neat vein texture on the edges which was developed after 78 processes. The device has stacked 80 layers of fine steel to form a powerful body structure.

Mate XT Ultimate Design is wrapped in a genuine plain leather material that ensures a perfect touch to consumers’ hands. It is available in two colors: Ruihong (Red Gold) and Dark Black. Both shades reflect an appealing look throughout.

Display

Mate XT tri-fold equips three screens. The display possesses a 3K ultra-high-definition resolution. It integrates AI computing image quality to offer an extraordinary visual experience to consumers. These are multi-directional display panels.

With flexible materials, the company has increased the bending capacity of the screen by 25%. The inner display resists compression while the outer one holds tension.

The internal screen uses the largest UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) while the external display has non-Newtonian fluid to provide dual-resistance. Check the specs below:

• Single Screen (2232 x 1008 pixels): 73.5 mm wide, 12.8 mm thick, 6.4-inch
• Double Screen (2232 x 2048 pixels): 143.0 mm wide, 7.45 mm/4.75 mm thick, 7.9-inch
• Three-screen (2232 x 3184 pixels): 219.0 mm wide, 3.6/3.6/4.75mm thick, 10.2-inch

Other features: OLED LTPO screen with 1.07 billion colors, a P3 wide color gamut, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and a 240Hz maximum touch response.

Hinge

The Chinese tech giant introduced the Tiangong (heavenly sacred) hinge technology with the Mate XT tri-fold. It supports dual hinges that enable the internal as well as external bending of the foldable. The hinge is based on a rod structure that reduces the movable space to a significant extent and offers stability.

Another benefit is the slide roll structure for folding the device inward and outward. This mechanism lessens the arc arm’s rotation and ultimately reduces hinge thickness. Thus, the device appears in a slim and lightweight body structure.

Inputs reveal that the new hinge tech uses the first multi-drive adjuster that can adjust the curves. As a result, the opening and closing of the device is immensely smooth. It is made up of 1900 MPa ultra-strong rocket steel and remains durable.

Camera

Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design sports a triple-lens arrangement housed in an octagonal camera module. The framework consists of a 50MP main camera (f/1.4-4.0) + OIS), a 12MP ultra-wide lens (f/2.2), and a 12MP periscope camera sensor.

The rear camera section supports 5.5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom. On the front side, there is an 8MP selfie sensor with multiple shooting and video modes.

Internal Configuration:

Mate XT tri-fold runs on the HarmonyOS 4.2 software system. The chipset detail is unknown but it seems to be Kirin 9010 5G. The phone powers up with 16GB RAM and comes in three storage variants: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

For battery, the device packs a 5600mAh cell with 66W superfast charging support and 5W wired reverse charging. Users can also opt for wireless charging with a 50W power adapter or wireless reverse charging for 7.5W.

AI Features

Huawei lets you turn its triple foldable into a regular phone, tablet, or mini PC. The single screen enables users to manage things with one hand. The dual-screen mode is perfect for browsing or clear reading, while the third screen will enlarge things.

Mate XT uses the upgraded Celia assistant running on the Pangu Large AI model. It will facilitate users with the following smart AI services:

• AI Senior Editor: New voice editing features that understand natural languages and offer excellent content creation capabilities.
• AI Info Consultant: Uses split-screen mode to answer questions and extract summaries from long articles.
• AI Translation Expert: Send the document to Celia and it will translate the full text easily and at once. It also opens the original text on the side for accuracy.
• AI Photo Editor: AI Image Expansion that automatically enlarges the image. There are also AI Removal and AI cloud enhancement features.
