Huawei launched the world's first tri-foldable phone, the Mate XT, globally on Tuesday, marking a technological milestone despite ongoing U.S. sanctions.

Huawei is holding the global launch of the Huawei Mate XT -- its most expensive model -- in Kuala Lumpur, having first unveiled it in its home market in September. It also introduced its MatePad Pro tablet and FreeArc, its first open-ear earbuds with earhooks, and other wearables during the event.
