Huawei recently announced its new flagship smartphone, the Mate XT, priced at 20,000 Yuan (€2,500). With a triple-folding screen that can transform from a smartphone to a tablet, this release comes shortly after Apple’s iPhone 16 launch, signaling Huawei’s competitive stance.

The Mate XT has garnered over seven million pre-orders through Huawei’s Vmall. Despite U.S. sanctions, which aimed to cut Huawei off from western technology, the company has aggressively pushed innovation, replacing key components with Chinese alternatives and focusing on self-reliance in semiconductors. Huawei’s response to the sanctions has positioned it as a resilient competitor, successfully revitalizing its research, chip production, and its homegrown operating system, HarmonyOS. Despite setbacks in international markets, Huawei's domestic success and continued technological advancements underscore the backfire of U.S. attempts to limit the company's growth.
