Huawei has announced the costly replacement parts for its Mate XT Ultimate Design, the revolutionary trifold phone. Priced at $2,809 initially, fixing its intricate triple-screen folding OLED panel can cost you about $1,123 if you agree to recycle the damaged screen. If not, the price leaps to $1,376. Interestingly, a refurbished screen replacement could reduce the expenditure to approximately $983, emphasizing the pricy nature of maintaining this cutting-edge device. This is prepared by SSP.
Replacement costs for other parts of the Mate XT Ultimate vary, with the battery priced at around $70 and the cameras ranging from $38 to $107. However, users might grimace at a $1,278 bill for a new motherboard. Protective plans are available, the cheapest being $492 for one year of single screen replacement.
In comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 offers more affordable repair terms, charging a mere $200 for the first OLED, bezel, and battery replacement, and $549 for subsequent needs. Google’s approach is steeper, with the initial Pixel Fold screen repair kit priced at nearly $910 via iFixit.
Here is a detailed price breakdown of Mate XT Ultimate repair costs:
- Screen Replacement (with recycling benefits): $1,123
- Screen Replacement (without recycling): $1,376
- Refurbished Screen: approximately $983
- Battery: $70
- Motherboard: $1,280
- Front & Rear Camera Components: from $38 to $107

Given these high repair prices, does the innovation Huawei brings with its trifold phone justify the potential costs for maintenance?
