Huawei Mate XT survives dirt torture test but suffers in display durability

Huawei Mate XT recently appeared in JerryRigEverything’s durability test and showed that it still has room for improvement. While the overall look of the device can easily impress customers, it might disappoint them in case of long-term usage.

Zach Nelson, the YouTuber performed durability test on the Huawei Mate XT. He started the clip by unboxing the tri-fold handset. The packaging was alluring as it comes with many benefits – FreeBuds 5, an 88W car charger, and a back cover.

After the unboxing, Zach began testing the triple foldable. He initially tried some scratches to check the resistance level as per the Mohs hardness scale.

Unfortunately, the device began showing scratches on level 2 while deeper lines on the third level. The YouTuber even tried fingernail scratches on the display and back panel. But Mate XT failed to resist these challenges and showed clear marks.

Even a knife handle created a spider web-like pattern on the phone’s screen, implying that lighters and razor blades could make the display panel worse.

Apart from negative results, the test also showed good points. Huawei Mate XT easily resisted the dirt and grit torture test. Zach Nelson tried to force a pebble onto the screen but it continued to work perfectly without any problem.

While many foldable phones are currently facing dirt issues, the device has easily managed it. Although the overall test hints that Huawei Mate XT has a lot of room for improvement. The company may resolve these issues with the next-gen tri-fold.

Being the world’s first tri-fold phone, it was likely to come with certain drawbacks. However, Huawei may surely comes with a better solution for its upcoming foldable displays and their durability.
