Repairs aren't cheap: replacing the screen on a triple-fold Huawei Mate XT smartphone costs as much as a new iPhone 16 Pro Max

The other day Huawei unveiled the Mate XT Ultimate Design - the world's first commercial foldable smartphone that folds threefold. And now the manufacturer has revealed the cost of replacement parts and repairs.

Here's What It Costs

One of the most expensive components is the OLED display. Its replacement costs about $ 1123 - and that's assuming you agree to let Huawei recycle the damaged screen for free. Otherwise, the display will cost more than $1,376.

For comparison, the full price of the Mate XT Ultimate Design is $2,800. And with the money spent to repair the display, you can buy a new iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Another expensive part is the motherboard. Its replacement will cost $ 1278.

The other components of the smartphone are cheaper. For example, replacing the battery costs about $ 70, the camera - from $ 38 to $ 107.
