Huawei officially announced that the new generation of tri-fold screen mobile phone Mate XT 2 will be officially released on September 7. The latest news points out that this new phone will add health monitoring functions that do not require wearable devices, and adopt a new U-shaped folding design that is more protective. In terms of hardware, it is also equipped with the Kirin 9050 flagship chip with high transistor density for the first time, and the overall specifications have been fully upgraded!

Huawei has officially announced that the new generation of tri-fold screen flagship mobile phone Mate XT 2 will be officially unveiled at 2:30 pm on September 7. As a tri-fold screen product that has attracted much attention on the market, in addition to significant updates in structural design, the new phone has also been revealed by blogger “RuryRen”. The Mate XT 2 body will also directly incorporate health monitoring functions, allowing users to measure body data anytime and anywhere without wearing a smart bracelet or watch.

In terms of health monitoring, Mate XT 2 is expected to adopt the technical solution previously unveiled on Pura 90 Pro. This function mainly relies on the cooperation of a rear flashlight and a special sensor, and uses the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) to detect blood flow changes in microvessels. Users only need to place their fingers on the flash area, and the system can output resting heart rate data in more than ten seconds, and automatically synchronize to the “Sports Health” App for recording, which greatly improves the convenience of daily heart rate measurement.

The body structure and appearance design also have many attractions. Mate XT 2 adopts a new U-shaped folding scheme. The body folds first on the left side and then on the right side. When the phone is completely folded, the main screen will be completely wrapped inside the body, and the protection performance is greatly improved compared to the previous generation. At the same time, the outside of the fuselage is equipped with an independent external screen. When users handle daily operations such as answering calls, quickly replying to messages, or scanning QR codes to pay, they can complete them smoothly without unfolding the large-sized internal screen, which significantly improves the practicality of one-handed operation.

In terms of hardware performance, it is reported that Mate XT 2 will be equipped with the Kirin 9050 series flagship chip for the first time, which is also the world’s first mass-produced mobile phone chip equipped with logic folding technology. According to previously disclosed official data, the new generation of Kirin chips has achieved a significant increase in transistor density of 53.5%, and can integrate 238 million transistors per square millimeter. The theoretical circuit density is close to TSMC’s first-generation 3nm process level, and is expected to bring more stable computing support to multi-tasking and large-screen applications.
