华为在最新三折叠屏手机中“借鉴”了三星的隐私显示技术
Huawei has released its third trifold phone in China, and the company has clearly had half an eye on Samsung during development. Not only does the Mate XT 2 adopt the inward-folding form factor used on Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold, it’s also the first foldable to include a privacy-enhancing display, much like the one Samsung added to the Galaxy S26 Ultra this year.
华为已在中国发布了其第三款三折叠屏手机，显然该公司在研发过程中密切关注了三星的动向。Mate XT 2 不仅采用了三星 Galaxy Z TriFold 所使用的内折叠形态，还是首款配备隐私增强显示屏的折叠屏手机，这与三星今年在 Galaxy S26 Ultra 上添加的功能如出一辙。
The first Mate XT, which launched in China in late 2024 and internationally a few months later, used an accordion-esque folding design. It removed the need to include an additional cover screen on the phone, but left parts of the delicate folding display permanently exposed. The follow-up XTs retained the design, but the XT 2 instead takes inspiration from Samsung’s trifold, folding both sides of the 10.2-inch flexible screen inwards to keep them safe from harm.
首款 Mate XT 于 2024 年末在中国发布，并于几个月后在国际市场推出，它采用了类似手风琴式的折叠设计。这种设计无需额外的外屏，但会导致脆弱的折叠屏部分区域永久暴露在外。后续的 XT 机型保留了这一设计，但 XT 2 转而从三星的三折叠设计中汲取灵感，将 10.2 英寸柔性屏幕的两侧向内折叠，以保护屏幕免受损坏。
More surprising is the addition of a privacy OLED display. This looks much like Samsung’s, so far only found on the S26 Ultra. When activated, it switches on pixels that emit light at narrower angles, making the screen appear almost black from the sides, but still visible head-on. It’s an optional extra, only available if you opt for 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage and pay a further ¥1,000 (about $150) to add the privacy screen.
更令人惊讶的是，该机增加了隐私 OLED 显示屏。这看起来与三星目前仅在 S26 Ultra 上使用的技术非常相似。当该功能激活时，屏幕会开启以更窄角度发光的像素，使得屏幕从侧面看几乎是黑色的，但从正面看依然清晰可见。这是一项可选配置，仅在选择 16GB 内存和 1TB 存储版本，并额外支付 1000 元人民币（约 150 美元）后方可添加。
Beyond the display, the XT 2 has Huawei’s new Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, improved water-resistance with an IP59 rating, and a triple rear camera. It launched today in China, starting at ¥19,999 ($3,000), though international release plans remain unknown. Samsung’s own Galaxy Z TriFold was discontinued shortly after its release last year, though leaks suggest that Samsung is still working on a follow-up.
除了显示屏之外，XT 2 还搭载了华为新款麒麟 9050 Pro 芯片组，具备 IP59 级的改进型防水性能，并配备了后置三摄系统。该机今日在中国发布，起售价为 19,999 元人民币（3,000 美元），目前尚不清楚其国际发布计划。三星的 Galaxy Z TriFold 在去年发布后不久便已停产，但泄露消息显示三星仍在研发其后续机型。
