There have been some reports that Huawei’s next triple foldable could be called the Huawei Mate XTs. Debunking these rumors, the tipster claims that the second-generation device will be called the Huawei Mate XT 2 Extraordinary Master. In the global market, this device is likely to be dubbed the Huawei Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design.

As can be seen in the Weibo post, the tipster claims that the Huawei Mate XT 2 (triple foldable) and Mate X7 (book-style foldable) will debut in the second half of this year. He added that these devices will arrive with new chipsets, cameras, and batteries. Next year, Huawei will launch foldable tablets.

According to reports, the Huawei Mate XT 2 will continue to feature a 10.2-inch triple foldable screen like the previous generation. It is likely to feature Huawei’s in-house developed “Tian Gong” hinge mechanism, offering a slimmer yet durable construction.

Under the hood, the Mate XT 2 may feature the Kirin 9020hh chipset, which uses a 1+3+4 CPU setup consisting of a 2.5GHz prime Taishan core, three 2.15GHz middle cores, and four smaller 1.6GHz cores. For graphics, it is equipped with the Maleoon 920 GPU that works at 840MHz.

Huawei might also introduce eSIM functionality with the Mate XT 2, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. This move could help reclaim internal space, an important advantage for foldables aiming for sleeker profiles.
