TL;DR
- HUAWEI’s Mate XT 2 has just gone up for pre-order in China, giving us a decent idea about its design elements and other changes.
- One of the biggest changes from the original Mate XT is the way the device folds: the new model uses an inward-folding mechanism that keeps the inner screen protected at all times.
- Pricing information is currently unavailable, though we know the Mate XT 2 will be available with up to 16GB of RAM, and 512GB and 1TB of storage options.
While standard foldable phones continue to roll out, manufacturers have been more cautious with triple-folding smartphones. HUAWEI was the first to enter the segment with the Mate XT, followed by the Mate XTs. Samsung then launched its own version, dubbed the Galaxy Z TriFold, though it had a short sales run. If you’re itching to get your hands on a tri-fold, HUAWEI is now gearing up to launch its next-gen tri-fold phone, featuring a significantly revamped folding mechanism.
The Mate XT 2 has just been detailed in a teaser video posted on Weibo, while the company has also opened pre-orders for the device on Vmall. However, no pricing information is available on the website as of yet.
