I want this SO BAD (but I can’t have it) – Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design
Get your overpriced stickers at https://shortlinus.com
You know, I was surprised when the new Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design ACTUALLY showed up at our door. With a design that looks like it was ripped from a Sci-fi movie from the 2010s, Huawei has created a stunning looking device… with some compromises. Is a triple folding screen phone cool enough to make Linus switch to a phone without Google services?

The most stupidest phone ever made
No need screens anymore, just need 4k oled eye safe vr glass. thats it
About the Google Apps incompatibility, there are at least 3 options that can get you Google Services on any Huawei device : MicroG, GSpace and GBox.
If you want Google Play store on any Huawei device : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y18xyETiPo
this will break so easily if you drop it….
Try playing pc games on it, i.e. remote play, parsec etc. is it usable
I am sorry, but how can you call yourself a "tech reviewer" if you don't know how to install microG in huawei phones, it is super easy, takes about 4-5 minutes. people who watch your stuff don't know much about tech
This phone is being returned in China in doves, this does not work as a daily driver.
Huawei automatically detecting what hand you're using and Samsung won't even add ambidextrous gesture controls like every other android in existence
unbelievable! I would never have thought something like this would have ever been invented. From my first bag phone to this is crazy!
IMAGINE If Huawei wasn't sanctioned ..
This thing is trash. Look at China media.
"Huawei has gone from a copy cat brand to…" he says while holding a phone made from stolen technology from samsung that huawei paid thieves about $12 million for.
I'm watching this on my Nokia 3310
The compromise is that its so delicate people have broken it folding it the first day
Downfall: Breaks after two days and Huawei says it's the customer fault.
The USB C port will soon have to make room for the camera bump in order to fit on it because these are becoming so small!These are getting so thin that eventually the USB C port will have to share space with the camera bump to even fit on it!
Huawei stopped being a copy cat brand donkey years ago
use apks!
Why are you lying again ? You know very well that you CAN install google services on Mate X and they work normally with no ads or lag or anything. It takes 5 minutes to do that. Thought undocumented/lying were in the past. Guess not.
✨✨
An Apple user for over a decade. Apple sucks!
"What is the compromise of this phone?!!"
In China? Your freedom for sure. Lol
That's exactly why the US banned them… Cause American companies like Apple won't be able to get any close of their phones
This is what we can call exclusive, premium device. Both in price and features. Not an iPhone (however in price they do try to match).
Long time, Apple user, actually an Apple fanboy. And I would immediately switched to android just for this phone.
This is such a bad video
The craziest thing IS all the hate this Phone got from anti China Media hahaha.
How the actual flip did they get it that thin?!
The biggest improvements usually come in the 2nd generation of the product. For instance the Z fold 2 is worlds better than the Fold 1.
How does he not know what the Aurora store is? after doing the degoogle your life videos
The Huawei ban affected the countries that applied it, more than it affected Huawei, Imagine if Samsung, Apple, and other phone manufacturers had to compete with Huawei at the level it is right now.
For me now Samsung and Apple are out-of touch-companies, Apple sells overpriced (be specs) devices locked into their own ecosystem and sold as luxury items, and Samsung does it's own things similar to Apple, where it pushes you towards buying the most expensive phone they have.
How can you daily drive an iPhone as a tech person? Your getting old. If you want the latest innovations you need Android.
Watch the Chinese coverage of this phone , it's trash, won't last a year and the chip is years old. They sell for less than retail in China now 😂
I still don't get it. You have a flexible oled on the outside. It is gonna scratch in your pocket just putting it in the first time
I thought Linus was gonna get off YouTube Trending? Y'all think he's some god. Yeah sure. Huge mistake.
How can you not break that thing?
Looks like the USA and many other Western governments, are all proponents for a free-market…
Unless Asian corporations are beating Western rivals, in their own western market! That's when we start throwing accuses of back-doors in Chinese products, just as our own government puts back-doors in our western products…
Maybe the NSA could've patented their back-doors…
I have loved Huawei phones for a decade, it's really too bad the government crap has to interfere with having nice things. It's not like Google isn't stealing all kinds of information through Google Apps, doing all kinds of IP manipulation through Google Scholar, and selling or giving access to what it knows to its "friends"!
They did a great job not an okay job sir 😂
I got the videos of how the display broke, phone was too heavy and traded in for an apple device
There are cases for it, you just haven’t seen them. Huawei doesn’t do things like that.
US government: Huawei, we will choke you to death.
Huawei: Good luck with that.
Wait. Is Canada always that cold?😂😂
This is why US had to ban Huwaei. They just couldn’t compete
MicroG will get Google apps. No wallet or Auto though. At least Chinese companies are innovative, unlike the walled Apple, Google & Samsung. We're like frogs in a well sometimes. There's a whole innovative world out there if we look out!
ye i have a small manbag that i stuff my tablet into and a phone and other guy shit that keeps my pockets from making me look like a chipmonk. also saved myself $9500.
And the reality is revealed: Huawei wasn't sanctioned by America because of security concerns. They didn't ban ALL Chinese brands. Also what security risk does non governmental use pose?! it doesn't pass the laugh test.
What DOES threaten America though, is their incredible hardware that lasts indefinitely. I'm using a Huawei phone that's over 5 years old and it's still perfect where as every phone before it failed within 18 months at most. The battery life has been consistently incredible. No slowing with age. An economy that depends upon consumerism can't survive when dependable products are introduced to the market. THAT is why America banned Huawei. It's transparent and pathetic.
Instead of banning the competition, how about you just make a better product and compete on the open market as capitalism is supposed to result in the best result?
