Huawei has launched the Huawei Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design in China, marking the company’s second tri-fold smartphone following last year’s Mate XT, which was billed as the first mass-market tri-fold model. Several outlets frame the release as the culmination of an expected launch window, with Huawei having previously pointed to a September 7 event.
The new device uses a tri-fold form factor with an inward-folding architecture and a large display when opened up. NDTV reports a 10.2-inch 3K OLED screen in the fully unfolded state. The phone includes a triple-camera array on the exterior, featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera plus 48-megapixel ultra-wide and 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lenses. It is powered by Huawei’s Kirin 9050 Pro chipset and carries a 5,600mAh battery with 66W wired charging.
TechGenyz focuses on the design ambition and the timing leading up to the launch, while NDTV emphasizes confirmed specifications, including the chipset, display, camera configuration, and charging.
