Huawei Mate XT 2 Color Variants Revealed; Potentially the Second Mass-Produced Tri-Fold Smartphone
Huawei has made waves in the smartphone industry with the launch of the Mate XT Ultimate Design, the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, powered by the Kirin 9010 chipset. Now, the tech giant is reportedly gearing up for the release of its successor, the Huawei Mate XT 2. Although an official announcement has yet to be made, recent leaks suggest that the new model will offer a broader array of color options and enhanced features, setting the stage for a competitive entry into the foldable phone market.
Expected Color Options for Huawei Mate XT 2
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared insights on Weibo, the Huawei Mate XT 2 is anticipated to come in a variety of colors, including black, purple, red, and white. This is a notable expansion from the original Mate XT Ultimate Design, which was available in only two colors: Dark Black and Rui Red. The new model, codenamed ‘Greenlan’, is expected to launch in September and aims to be the second mass-produced tri-fold smartphone globally. Huawei is reportedly increasing production efforts for the Mate XT 2, with hopes of surpassing the sales figures of its predecessor. Additionally, improvements in camera capabilities, CPU performance, and other hardware features are expected to enhance the user experience.
Specifications of Huawei Mate XT 2
Leaked information suggests that the Huawei Mate XT 2 will maintain the same display and battery specifications as its predecessor. However, it is set to feature a more advanced Kirin 9020 chipset, offering better performance than the Kirin 9010 found in the original model. The upcoming smartphone is rumored to support satellite connectivity and may include a new 50-megapixel main rear camera with a variable aperture, along with an upgraded periscope telephoto lens. Huawei has reportedly sought regulatory approval for this tri-fold device under the model number GRL-AL20, indicating plans for a global launch following its initial release in China.
Market Position and Pricing
Currently, Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate Design stands as the only commercially available tri-fold smartphone on the market, having debuted in September of last year in China. The device was priced at CNY 19,999, approximately Rs. 2,35,900, for the 16GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. As Huawei prepares to introduce the Mate XT 2, it is expected to compete directly with Samsung’s first tri-fold smartphone, further intensifying the competition in the foldable phone segment. With its innovative design and anticipated enhancements, the Mate XT 2 could redefine user expectations for foldable devices.
