TechnologyHuawei has officially introduced the world’s first phone with two folding mechanisms and three screens, a device that is as expensive as expected. Prices in China for the Mate XT Ultimate Design model start at 19,999 yuan (about $2,809) for the 256GB version, which is about $300 more than a new 16-inch MacBook Pro. This model is part of Huawei’s “Ultimate Design” line, which is known for luxurious and innovative products.
The Mate XT has a dual Z-fold design that allows for use in a variety of formats. The OLED screen is 6.4 inches when closed like a traditional device, while when fully opened, it expands to 10.2 inches offering a tablet-like experience. The device can also be used in a smaller 7.9-inch configuration when not fully opened.
The phone has a 5,600mAh battery and supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. There’s also a triple camera system on the back, including a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 12-megapixel periscope camera. For selfies, there is an 8-megapixel camera positioned on the left display when the device is fully open.
The phone was first launched in China and the price starts at 19,999 yuan (about $2,809) for the model with 256GB of internal memory, making it more expensive than a 16-inch MacBook Pro. Also, higher-capacity models are available for 21,999 yuan (about $3,089) for 512GB and 23,999 yuan (about $3,370) for 1TB.
Due to the high price and new innovation, the Mate XT is expected to be a strong competitor in the market, especially with other foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Fold series from Samsung. Also, other brands like Xiaomi and Oppo are developing similar versions of phones with three foldable screens.
At the moment, there is no clear information about the Mate XT’s availability outside of China, but it is expected that Huawei will provide more details soon for interested buyers outside of China.

Culture TravelGreece’s move against mass tourism and the increasing flow of cruise ships that dock at its shores will be finalized with the imposition of a €20 tax, which will initially apply only to the two islands, Mykonos and Santorini.
The plan to impose the tax was announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself at the 88th edition of the Thessaloniki International Fair, but it remains unclear when it will come into effect.
“Greece does not have a structural problem of overtourism. It has a problem concentrated in some destinations and in some weeks or months of the year. Cruises put pressure on Mykonos and Santorini and therefore the price will be 20 euros,” explained the head of the government of Athens in a press conference,Mitsotakis did not specify when the new tax would take effect, but expressed concern about the influx of cruise ships.
“Equally important is the intervention for the number of ships arriving at their destination at the same time. We will be quite bold at this point”, stressed the Greek Prime Minister, also recalling the “sustainability rules” regarding the new infrastructure.
In 2023, about 800 cruise ships carrying 1.3 million passengers landed on the island of Santorini, home to just 15,500 people, according to the Greek Ports Association.
Of the record 32.7 million tourists who visited Greece last year, around 3.4 million, or one in ten visitors, went to the island of Santorini.
Because of this unprecedented influx, the government now intends to crack down on the number of ships arriving at their destination at the same time, deeming it necessary to put the brakes on islands where the limits of infrastructure are being tested.

Culture LifeStyle PoliticsThe President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, has announced that the Christmas celebrations in his country will start in October.
“It’s September and already there’s a Christmas atmosphere. And that is why this year, as a sign of gratitude to you, I will decree an early Christmas from October 1,” the Venezuelan president said on his television program, shortly after the Prosecutor’s Office ordered the arrest of opposition candidate Edmundo González. charged with terrorism-related crimes.
It is not the first time that the Venezuelan President celebrates Christmas earlier in Venezuela. And in 2020, the celebrations started on October 15, as a distraction maneuver in the face of the serious problems the country was going through during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Maduro wanted to recall what happened last Friday, August 30, when a massive power outage affected about 80% of Venezuela’s territory. The authorities attributed the collapse of the electricity system to their political opponents. However, the President declared: “People continued to work and with the support of the working class, in a perfect civil-military-police cooperation, we guaranteed absolute peace.”
After that, Maduro added: “Christmas starts on October 1st. To all, Christmas has come, with peace, happiness and security.” It is expected that the government, as it usually does during the weeks before the end of the year holidays, will intensify the distribution of aid and bags of food in the neighborhoods.
