Huawei is currently the sole brand to have launched a triple-folding phone. And if a new rumor is to be believed, its successor is not that far off as well.
According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the company’s next-generation triple-folding phone, expected to launch as the Mate XT 2, is reportedly set to be unveiled on September 10. That’s almost exactly a year after the first Mate XT tri-fold made its debut.
Mate XT 2 might launch at the same time as iPhone 17
If the date is accurate, the launch would coincide with Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 event, which is rumored to take place on September 9 or 10.
The timing also feels deliberate enough. Huawei and Apple have been circling each other for years, especially in China, and a back-to-back reveal would be another high-profile face-off.
In the past few weeks, multiple leaks have pointed to an early-to-mid September reveal for Huawei’s next foldable flagship. It was previously rumored to launch on September 12, but Fixed Focus Digital now claims the company is targeting the 10th. It also happens to be the date Huawei used last year for the Mate XT Ultimate Design edition.
Huawei hasn’t officially confirmed anything about the Mate XT 2 yet, and we still don’t know what changes it will bring over the first-gen model.
The original Mate XT was notable for its tri-fold design — opening up to a tablet-sized display — and it gained plenty of attention in China, even managing to steal some of the spotlight from the iPhone 16’s local debut.
Now, with its successor rumored to drop right alongside the iPhone 17 lineup, Huawei might be setting up for a repeat performance. It is expected to come in Mystic Black, Auspicious Red, Crimson Purple, and Bright White shades.
