Stationery Review 197 - Sheaffer Pen Folio - 60 Pens Case

Hi Friends,

I bought this Sheaffer Pen Folio from the Facebook Marketplace from a historical user of fountain pens who passed away during COVID. His daughter sold the same to me, and I got it to keep my pens. It can hold 60 pens, which at the time when I bought it, I didn't have that many, but now I have many more than that. Check it out. Though I don't have Sheaffer's new range of fountain pens, let's see in the future.

Sheaffer has a lot of writing instruments in its profile. I have got some of the older models in my kitty that I will showcase soon.

The World's First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better? #HuaweiMateXT

Hi Guys, 

Three Screens, Infinite Possibilities: Why the HUAWEI Mate XT Is a Game Changer

Smartphone, Tablet, Work Hub—All in One: The Tri-Fold Revolution of the HUAWEI Mate XT

A single smartphone screen no longer meets the demands of our digital lives. With mobile and remote work now the norm, juggling multiple devices isn’t always practical. Enter the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN—the world’s first tri-fold smartphone—shattering barriers in foldable technology and redefining the screen experience. More than just a breakthrough in design, it’s one of the most significant foldable releases of the decade. With three screens seamlessly integrated into one device, it expands the boundaries of multitasking and smartphone interaction like never before.

Here’s how you can get the most out of its tri-fold display.

Triples Visual Immersion
It's obvious why the HUAWEI Mate XT is special. Unfold it, and your smartphone transforms into a full-sized tablet. It allows you to carry a large-screen immersive display right in your pocket. With three times the screen real estate and the world’s first 3K Hi-Res HUAWEI X-True Display on the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, you can enjoy every visual detail of a game, graphic novel, or movie on a larger display anytime and anywhere.

The best part is that the smartphone’s slim-thin build makes it convenient and comfortable to hold while you’re on the move. At the time of its release, the HUAWEI Mate XT notched up the accolades of the thinnest foldable and the largest commercially available foldable smartphone on the market, at just 3.6 mm thin and 10.2 inches wide when unfolded.

Master the Task with More Display Modes
Working on the move can feel chaotic, especially if you’re bouncing between apps and splitting your focus between different apps. With HUAWEI Mate XT, the split screen experience allows you to accomplish more instantly. Need to jot down notes while reading a book? Split-screen mode lets you run both apps side by side, with no toggling required.

The World's First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better?

For a wider display configuration, users can activate triple-screen mode to get three views of three different apps. This is ideal when working on complex tasks that often require multiple apps to accomplish. For example, you’ve got an airline app open on one screen, a browser for research on another, and a video call with friends on the third to hash out your travel details. Or maybe you’re creating social media content, with the Mate XT, you can edit a video, browse for inspiration, and draft a caption all at once. Having the ability to have three apps running simultaneously makes complex tasks feel effortless.

More Screens, More Flexibility
Thanks to its Advanced Precision Hinge System, HUAWEI Mate XT’s trifold display is also the first in the industry to achieve inward and outward folding. This means you can use your smartphone as an extended display and transform it into a real-life tool. Flip it outward, and the second screen becomes a built-in stand perfect for watching shows hands-free while you eat lunch. Or fold it into a mini tripod for your camera, with one side acting as a viewfinder and the other handling the controls. It’s clever, practical, and feels like a natural extension of the device.

Huawei is offering a premium service package for HUAWEI Mate XT customers, including a full year of HUAWEI Care+ with single-incident screen damage protection, four complimentary screen protector replacements, and free door-to-door and postal service. (T's&C's apply).

The HUAWEI Mate XT ushers in a new era of multitasking smartphones, achieving what once seemed impossible—a device that is lightweight, powerful, and expansive. Multiple display configurations offer a more versatile experience, freeing users from the limitations of a single small screen and redefining how we work, play, and stay connected.

Stationery Review 194 - Jinhao Dadao 9019 Red (M) Fountain Pen

Hi Friends,

I bought this Jinhao Dadao 9019 Red Fountain Pen with Heartbeat Medium nib from Facebook Marketplace. The guy who sold me these bought them from the WriteSpoke Online Store in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

The 9019 pen is available in Black, Transparent Wine, Transparent Blue, Dark Blue, Wine Red and Transparent. 

The individual pen is priced at ZAR 399, and a set of 6 is available at ZAR 2000 only, and 3 pens are for ZAR 1050 only. 

Also, there are two nib variants, medium to fine, that are currently available at WriteSpoke. Some of the pens are in translucent body design and come with the biggest ink converters I have ever seen. The ink capacity is massive, and it will go on and on, so fill it with your absolute favourite ink. The converter is also threaded to the feed on the same, so it will remain secure inside the body of the pen. 

I have filled up this pen for the first time with Diamine Ancient Copper ink, and because of its wider nib, the ink colours are coming out nicely on the paper.

Stationery Review 183 - 6 Pack Fountain Pen & Highlighters

Hi Friends, 

I bought this 6-pen pack of fountain pens and highlighters built into one pen. The ink tanks for both sides are different. One side takes ink cartridges, whereas the highlighter ink is sealed. These are really made for students in school or college.

These are really cheap fountain pens which have no branded nib, and they have a medium tip. The ink cartridge's capacity is small, but you can fill it using a syringe once the initial capacity is empty. Check them out! 


I bought them specifically from a shop in Los Angeles, which was a 5-dollar shop with a lot of products all marked at USD 5 only, but there were some exceptions to the price, as some were more than USD 5 as well. I found them there, and these ones were around ZAR 6 or 7 USD.

Stationery Review 182 - The Great Break - A5 Leather Journal Cover - Adventure Range

Hi Friends, 

I bought this one after waiting and drooling over all the products from The Great Break. I think the A5 size and this leather design convinced me to do so, and I wanted to compare it against the TRC (Midori) Journal covers as well. The quality is really good on this one as well, with leather a little bit thicker and metal loops for the string, whereas in TRC, the holes are directly in the leather cover. I totally love the personalization on this one, though the string is thicker on the same. It comes with a leather bookmark and an extra string to get more notebooks inside the leather cover. I missed the new notebooks to go with the same that comes along with the Midori (TRC) range. The Great Break team is really helpful and updates you during the whole journey after ordering, till it's couriered to your address.

The same is around ZAR 895, and there a courier fees as well. If you don't use the first-time code, then you will pay around ZAR 960, as ZAR 65 is the courier charges. Personalization only costs ZAR 35, so the overall cost will be ZAR 995 for each cover, but it will include a ZAR 75 bookmark also included in the same. 

The leather cover has three tan options - Chocolate, Toffee, and Coffee. Personalization also gives you some font options (DM Serif Text, Asul and Baskerville). You can also do Journal Title and Name Engraving with 25 characters at a maximum. The same is getting reflected on the cover I ordered for myself. This is not a sponsored post; I paid the whole money from my own pockets using a 20% discount coupon, and overall, I paid ZAR 809 to get it delivered to my address.
