Huawei surprised the global tech industry last year with the launch of the Mate XT, the world’s first commercially available tri-fold smartphone. While rivals like Samsung are reportedly preparing their own tri-fold devices, Huawei appears to be moving ahead once again with a second-generation Mate XT.
According to a new rumor originating from China, the upcoming Huawei Mate XT 2 will retain the same display panel as its predecessor. The tri-fold screen design, which was the main highlight of the original Mate XT, is expected to remain unchanged.
The major upgrades are said to come internally. The Mate XT 2 is rumored to feature a new processor offering improved performance, along with enhanced camera hardware. While specific details about the chipset or camera specifications have not yet surfaced, these upgrades suggest Huawei is focusing on refining performance rather than redesigning the form factor.
Unfortunately, no additional technical details have been shared so far. However, the Mate XT 2 is reportedly scheduled to launch in the second half of this year, meaning more leaks and official information should emerge in the coming weeks and months.
If the rumors are accurate, Huawei may once again take an early lead in the next phase of foldable smartphone innovation. Stay tuned for further updates as the launch window approaches.
