HUAWEI Mate XT takes Spotlight at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur with Groundbreaking Tri-fold Innovation


Huawei has launched its revolutionary ultimate tri-fold HUAWEI Mate XT, marking an exciting new chapter for the brand. 
Following this launch, Huawei unveils its largest Innovative Foldable Pop-up Store yet at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, spotlighting the brand’s visionary innovations and unparalleled craftsmanship in its latest flagship line-ups. Among the highlights are the revolutionary ultimate tri-fold HUAWEI Mate XT and the sleek dual-fold HUAWEI Mate X6, alongside the luxurious HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate and the PC-level HUAWEI MatePad Pro tablet.
 
 
The seven-day exhibition, themed ‘Unfold the Classic’, invites visitors to come experience the cutting-edge technology and artistry behind Huawei’s iconic products, offering a rare opportunity to explore the seamless fusion of advanced design, durability, and luxury craftsmanship.

 
A Glimpse into the Future of Tri-Fold Technology
The World’s First-ever Commercial Tri-fold Smartphone, HUAWEI Mate XT, takes a leap in the smartphone industry. Not only does it evolve from dual-fold to tri-fold, but it also represents a groundbreaking achievement - creating a device capable of both inward and outward folding. This innovation stems from a revolution in screen and hinge technology, pushing the limits of what’s possible and transforming fiction into reality.

 
The HUAWEI Mate XT introduces a new breakthrough display technology with Multi-Directional Flexible Material to resist both compression and tension. HUAWEI has also overcome a major industry challenge by embedding the Advanced Precision Hinge System in an ultra-slim body, ensuring that both inward and outward folding hinges are optimized without compromising on the device’s lightweight, slim profile.

 
Huawei has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation, meticulously refining technology and materials in every detail. With years of research and development, HUAWEI has redefined the foldable technology, ushering us into a new era of tri-fold innovation.
 
   

 
Exploring the Present: Dual-Fold Technology in Focus
Complementing the cutting-edge tri-fold technology, the HUAWEI Mate X6 is engineered to address users’ concerns with foldable smartphones. Engineered for unmatched durability, it features Huawei’s second-generation Kunlun Glass, a flawless inner screen, a robust hinge system, and a tough Aviation-Grade Aluminum middle frame—designed to withstand constant folding and unfolding.
 
The HUAWEI Mate X6 proves its resilience in everyday challenges. At the exhibition, its exceptional durability will be demonstrated - its inner screen lifting a 150kg sports bike and its middle frame standing strong under extreme pressure.
 
 
Luxury Meets Innovation: Beyond Foldables
At the ‘Unfold the Classic’ exhibition, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2, designed for flagship PC-level productivity, seamlessly blends high performance with a top-notch display. Equipped with PC-level WPS Office and essential applications, and bundled with Huawei’s patented NearLink keyboard and M-pencil, this newly launched flagship tablet has significantly enhanced productivity, taking the tablet experience to the next level. Additionally, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2 features a flexible OLED PaperMatte display, with anti-glare treatment to provide optimal comfort for eyes.
 
 
The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate takes centre stage as the epitome of luxury in wearable tech. Seamlessly blending sophisticated design with cutting-edge health monitoring features, this smartwatch offers unmatched durability and refined aesthetics. Equipped with advanced tracking for sports like golf, it helps users elevate their game by providing real-time swing analysis and course information. It is the perfect balance of function and elegance, illustrating Huawei’s dedication to excellence in both technology and style.
 
 
The Story Behind ‘Unfold the Classic’
From unparalleled craftsmanship to cutting-edge technologies, and from dual-fold to tri-fold innovation, it took Huawei 9 years to pioneer this breakthrough, making the impossible possible.

 
Alex Huang, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Consumer Business Group shared, “This exhibition marks a key milestone in our mission to deliver innovative experiences to the global audience. By bringing ‘Unfold the Classic’ to Kuala Lumpur, we’re not just showcasing technological advancements, but also demonstrating Huawei’s commitment to advancing toward the intelligent world vision.”

Aid Palestine with Dates – A Charity Initiative

Euro-Atlantic Sdn Bhd, a leading importer and distributor of specialty fruits, vegetables and gourmet groceries recently launched a charity initiative to aid Palestinians living in Malaysia.


This initiative, with the support of Malaysian retailers, centres on the sale of premium Medjool dates from Jericho in Palestine.

Known as the Diamond of Dates, distinguished by their large size and sweet caramel aroma, their sale is timely, with the approaching month of Ramadan. These Palestinian dates are aptly named “Al-Talia” which beautifully translates to “a dew from heaven”.

The charity initiative is in response to the financial plight of Palestinians living in this country, comprising refugees and students.


A cheque of RM50,000 was presented to Pn Nor Azreen Jamaluddin, Chairperson of SSEAYP Family Alumni Malaysia (SFAM), by Ms Ebby Loo, Managing Director of the Euro-Atlantic Group.

SFAM is a non-governmental organisation endorsed by the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Malaysia.

This ensures that the contributions are utilised effectively and responsibly to aid those in need within the Palestinian community.


Mr Raed Alzawbi, Cultural Officer for the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Malaysia was present to witness the handover.

Malaysia has long supported the cause of Palestine by extending humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Malaysia and Gaza. While the Malaysian government has recently agreed to cover the fees of Palestinian students at public universities, they as well as Palestinian refugees here, need financial aid for their living expenses.

Last August, a group of Palestinians arrived in Malaysia through a joint effort between the Egyptian and Malaysian governments to receive medical care for injuries sustained during the Gaza conflict.

According to Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Mohamad Alamin, the government plans to set up a Malaysian Humanitarian Hub in Egypt

Euro-Atlantic’s “Aid Palestine with Dates” initiative is a modest effort towards helping needy Palestinians living here in Malaysia.

 

About Medjool Dates

Euro-Atlantic imports the finest premium Medjool dates from Jericho in Palestine. These Medjool dates contain plenty of antioxidants and nutrients. They are high in fibre and are rich in potassium, manganese, and copper.

I showcase CNY essentials— from auspicious home & living products like festive decorations and dining sets  to storage solutions and trending beauty products —while guiding shoppers on maximising savings with Shopee Coins and vouchers. This interactive experience builds trust and drives sales, benefiting both my audience and the sellers I collaborate with," she said.

With the help of digital shopping, Malaysians continue to uphold cultural traditions by leveraging e-commerce for greater convenience. More shoppers turned to Shopee for CNY staples, reflecting a strong demand for festive goods now purchased online.
