Huawei will unveil a new folding-foldable phone later this month, according to a Weibo post on the company’s official page. Based on the name, the Mate X2 sounds like it should be a more important sequel to the original Mate X than Huawei’s latest foldable phone, the faster and slightly modified Mate XS.
Unless Huawei is deliberately cryptic, the teaser image for the Mate X2 actually suggests that the phone could possibly switch to a different foldable screen design with a flexible panel on the inside, like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold line. The previous Mate X phones had a single panel that was wrapped on the outside when it was closed, like the Flexpai devices from Royole.
Otherwise, there is not much information about the Mate X2 yet. It will likely have the same Kirin 9000 processor found in the Mate 40 Pro, and of course, Huawei will likely still not be able to include Google apps and services on board, limiting the device’s viability outside of China unless something unexpected happens. alter. fast with the new Biden administration’s approach to sanctions. However, Huawei’s hardware is always worth noting, so stay tuned for more news and details on February 22nd.
