Huawei is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable phones, the Mate X8 series, in China later this month. The lineup will succeed the Mate X7 series, which arrived in November last year. Several details about the upcoming phones have surfaced online in recent weeks, hinting at changes to their design, cameras and displays. A new leak has now pointed to a possible launch date, along with a few details about what Huawei may introduce with its next foldable lineup.

Weibo user Guo Jing (translated from Chinese) claims that Huawei will unveil the Mate X8 series on November 24, alongside the MateBook Fold S. The upcoming foldables will likely be thinner and lighter than the previous models. Huawei is also expected to retain the waistline-inspired design seen on the Mate X7 series, although a new colour option could be in the works.

The Huawei Mate X8 series could also support Huawei's Ruiying Z10 10x zoom camera module, which attaches to the phone using a dedicated lens mount. The accessory reportedly features a 50-megapixel RYYB sensor with a 1-inch optical format, continuous 10x optical zoom and a variable aperture.
