Weekly poll results: the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate is an innovative form factor that has potential

Last week’s poll suggests that Huawei may have discovered the next popular form factor for foldables with the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate. The first tri-foldable drew a lot of interest, though the device itself may not be all that popular. Huawei knows this, of course, and the retail package is loaded like this is a premium limited edition – which it is, in some ways. Let’s look at the results – more than half of voters are interested in a tri-foldable. Again, the XT Ultimate probably isn’t it. Still, 22% voted that they want one, which is higher than we expected, given the device’s €3,500...

Timeline will only be stored on each device, if you opt into it, so it will no longer be available from Google's servers. That's a...
