Huawei’s new generation tri-folding screen mobile phone Mate XT 2 is expected to be released next month. Recently, the latest renderings have leaked online, revealing that the appearance of the new phone will undergo major changes. It is reported that Mate XT 2 will use a new G-shaped folding structure to further protect the flexible screen, and the back will be replaced with a horizontal three-lens module similar to Pura X View!
The release date of Huawei’s new generation tri-folding screen mobile phone Mate XT 2 is getting closer and closer, and the latest renderings of this new phone have recently leaked online. It can be seen from the leaked pictures that the manufacturer seems to have carried out substantial appearance changes for this upcoming folding screen flagship. Prior to this, various chip specifications and pricing clues about Mate XT 2 have been circulated on the market, but there has been a lack of specific images of the actual appearance of the machine. Now the latest renderings not only show a slimmer screen ratio than the previous two generations of products, but also reveal major changes in the back lens module. The overall design has a stronger sense of modernity, which is expected to further establish its high-end market positioning.
The biggest highlight of this rendering is the design of the camera module. Different from the octagonal or square layout that was rumored earlier, the new image shows that Mate XT 2 will use a horizontal lens arrangement similar to the Pura X View. There are three photosensitive elements on the back of the phone, and two sets of LED flashes are added between the lenses. It is worth noting that unlike the previous generation where the camera was placed on the side panel, this time the camera module of the Mate XT 2 has been moved to the middle panel of the fuselage. In addition, one of the outer screens adopts a single-hole selfie lens design, while the central panel is printed with the iconic HUAWEI | ULTIMATE DESIGN brand words. Together with the expected new color matching, it is believed to bring a refreshing visual experience to users.
In addition to the appearance layout, the news pointed out that HUAWEI Mate XT 2 also has breakthrough developments in body structure and hinge technology. A whistleblower revealed that the new phone will abandon the original Z-shaped folding solution and adopt a G-shaped folding mechanism. This new structure can better wrap the internal screen, effectively reducing damage to the flexible screen caused by drops or scratches in daily use. Coupled with greatly improved hinge technology that is more durable and easier to open and close, Mate XT 2 is expected to set a new standard in terms of operating experience and body reliability. Although the manufacturer may not make compromises on memory configuration and pricing, these innovative designs undoubtedly reflect Huawei’s technological maturity in the folding screen field.
Looking back at Huawei’s achievements in the folding screen market, the previous generation Mate XT and upgraded Mate XTs have achieved great response in the global market. It is reported that although these two three-fold mobile phones are priced as high as 20,000 yuan, global sales have still exceeded one million units, showing strong purchase demand in both the mainland and overseas markets. This achievement not only proves consumers’ eager pursuit of innovative folding screen forms, but also reflects that tri-fold mobile phones have gradually transformed from mere early adopter products to practical flagships that the market desires. In view of this, the manufacturer will officially launch the Mate XT 2 equipped with the latest HarmonyOS 7 system next month. At that time, the official will announce all the design details, so Huawei fans may wish to pay close attention.
