Huawei could be preparing to launch its next-generation tri-fold smartphone later this year. A fresh leak has now surfaced online, hinting at what users can expect from the alleged Huawei Mate XT 2. While the company has not officially confirmed the device yet, the latest details suggest that Huawei may focus heavily on improving durability and everyday usability.
Huawei Mate XT 2 launch timeline and key upgrades
According to details shared by Chinese tipster Hyperdimensional Realm, the Huawei Mate XT 2 could launch in October this year. The device is also said to debut alongside the upcoming Mate 90 series in China. If the launch timeline turns out to be accurate, Huawei would be following a similar release schedule to its earlier tri-fold foldable models.
The leak claims that the Mate XT 2 may feature the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset. The processor is expected to place a strong focus on on-device AI capabilities. Reports surrounding the chip have appeared multiple times in recent weeks, although Huawei has not revealed anything officially about it so far.
The upcoming tri-fold phone is tipped to pack a battery larger than 6,000mAh, which would be a noticeable jump over the 5,600mAh battery seen on the previous-generation model. The leak also suggests that the phone’s camera performance may match the capabilities of the Mate X7 series.
Another major area of improvement could be the hinge mechanism and crease management. The tipster claims Huawei has made significant advancements in hinge technology, which may help reduce the visible crease on the folding display. A previous leak revealed that the device would be available in three shades, such as Mystic Black, Auspicious Red, Crimson Purple, and Bright White.
