Huawei Sets Mate XT 2 Tri-Fold Launch for September 7 With New Dual-Screen Design

Summary

  • September 7 is the confirmed China launch date for Huawei’s Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design, the company’s next tri-fold smartphone.
  • Huawei is replacing the earlier Z-style approach with a foldable main screen plus a separate rear cover display, a layout meant to avoid leaving the main panel exposed.
  • The redesign means users will choose between a fully unfolded large screen and the outer display, rather than folding one side back to use a near-8-inch panel.
  • 16GB of RAM is expected across all versions, alongside multiple storage options and a strong rear camera setup; a global release may follow later.
