[HUAWEI MATE XT ULTIMATE – ROAD TRIP REVIEW]
Before folding phones, I was … content. I was, to quote Macbeth, “whole as the marble.” And then a couple ambitious companies proved it was possible to fit more into your pocket – and after that, well, each time I was forced back onto a regular phone, I felt “cabin’d, cribbed, confined.”
So I dove with both feet into this new frontier – and for a few years I stabilized, grateful for the new normal. And then, this fall, one of the same companies that first made phones flexible decided to give us even more. This is the Mate XT Ultimate by Huawei – a phone that becomes a tablet, yes ... but with one more unfolding, it also becomes a proper 10.2 widescreen.
That said, is “more space” really all it’s cracked up to be? Is something special … enough? I took the Mate XT with me for a week in India to find out.
[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S HUAWEI MATE XT ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP REVIEW]
