Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman – Yu Chengdong recently said that no one is allowed to leak unreleased devices, or else it will result in a fine. The executive stated this in the context of being photographed with the Mate XT in a plane.

Yu Chengdong attended a short interview a few days back. The executive talked about some topics including Mate XT innovation, hardware, and HarmonyOS software.

During the interrogation, the host talked about how the executive got snapped with the Mate XT tri-fold twice. On this matter, Yu Chengdong responded that leaking unreleased Huawei devices has strict punishments and will result in a fine.

The Chairman further said that Huawei doesn’t allow its executives or other officials to leak secrets of unreleased Huawei devices like design, images, or any other details.

Although if someone opts for it, they are subject to fines. The company has the right to information security and can take steps on such activities whenever it wants to.

Yu recalled the scenario and mentioned that while traveling he unfolded and used the Mate XT as a tablet to cover its appearance. But people with sharp eyes noticed the design of the device. They might thought of how a tablet could be so thin and considered it as tri-fold.

“We have information security, and leaks will be fined. Because I thought it would appear like a tablet to everyone. But people with sharp eyes might doubt it. ” – says Yu Chengdong.

The host asked that it wasn’t hard for anyone not to discover the tri-fold, in any occasion. Yu responded that he had been using the Mate XT as a tablet for several months before launch. The trick was to use it as a tablet so people may not know.

“I often used the phone on the plane so I didn’t expect that it would be discovered by sharp-eyed people once or twice. I had been using it for several months before it launched in the consumer market.”

Huawei’s Yu Chengdong have been captured twice with the Mate XT triple-foldable before its launch. The first time users saw the chairman in the plane using the device in an unfolded state. The second time he was captured with the phone in a single-screen state, showing off the giant camera.

However, the company ensures to keep its unreleased devices completely a secret until a week before the launch, or the launch day. It tried to maintain this strategy with Mate XT as well. Although the phone leaked out due to the “sharp eyes of netizens”.

Mate XT tri-fold is available on sale. The device is currently available for pre-registered users. Although Huawei may soon open a wider sale activity for everyone including the walk-in customers. You can read more about the Mate XT device HERE.
