Huawei has a history of getting ahead of big brands in the wearable segment. The company turned heads by launching the first commercial tri-fold smartphone, basically a pocket-friendly table. More recently, the firm announced the Huawei Pura X Max, the first foldable with a wide form factor. Now, fresh leaks suggest that the company is already working on the Huawei Mate XT 2, with a launch timeframe set for October and bringing some impressive specs.
The latest information comes from tipster Hyperdimensional Realm on Weibo. According to the post, the Mate XT 2 is expected to debut alongside the upcoming Mate 90 series. While the original model was a feat of engineering, Huawei is now focusing on “under-the-hood” for its new tri-fold handset. More specifically, the Chinese tech giant is focusing on raw power, battery life, and durability.
More power and smarter AI: Huawei Mate XT 2 key specs leak
The heart of the new handset will likely be the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset. While there are no specs available, reports suggest this processor will lean heavily into on-device AI capabilities. This shift makes sense to take advantage of a screen that expands to over 10 inches. It’s a perfect canvas for AI-driven productivity tools, especially if the rumors about new stylus support turn out to be accurate.
One of the biggest challenges with any foldable is the screen crease and the mechanical long-term durability. The latest leaks claim that Huawei has made significant advancements in hinge technology for the Mate XT 2. The goal isn’t just a smoother folding action but a noticeably flatter display when fully unfolded. This is especially important when we talk about a foldable with not one but two hinges.
To complement this more robust design, the battery is also getting a boost. The new model could feature a capacity exceeding 6,000mAh. If true, it’s a welcome jump from the 5,600mAh found in the previous generation.
Flagship cameras in a slim frame
Despite its complex folding mechanism, the Mate XT 2 shouldn’t compromise on photography. Reports indicate the camera system will likely match the performance of the Mate X7 series. So, it could feature a 50-megapixel main sensor alongside a periscope and and ultra-wide lenses.
We are still waiting for an official confirmation from Huawei. However, the October timeframe aligns with the company’s usual release cycles.
