Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design was launched in September 2024 as the world's first commercial triple-screen foldable phone. The handset, which offers a 6.4-inch cover screen (folded once) and a 10.2-inch tablet screen (unfolded twice), was also released in select global markets earlier this year. The Chinese smartphone brand is said to be working on the Huawei Mate XT 2, its second tri-fold smartphone. A tipster has suggested details about the Huawei Mate XT 2, which is said to make its debut in the second half of 2025.
In a post on Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Huawei will unveil a new tri-fold smartphone in the second half of this year. This model, potentially named Huawei Mate XT 2, is said to feature the same screen resolution as the original Mate XT Ultimate Design. This model is tipped to arrive with a new chipset and is said to offer camera upgrades and other hardware improvements.
Previous leaks claimed that the Huawei Mate XT 2 will use a Kirin 9020 processor. It is expected to bring notable improvements over the Kirin 9010 chipset used in the Mate XT Ultimate Design. Unfortunately, no other specifications of the purported triple foldable have been leaked so far, but since its potential release is nearing, we are likely to hear more about it soon.
The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design was unveiled in September 2024 in China with an initial price tag of CNY 19,999 (roughly Rs. 2,35,900) for the 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage variant. It was also introduced in select global markets in February.
Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design ships with HarmonyOS 4.2. It features a 10.2-inch flexible LTPO OLED main screen. Folding it once reveals a 7.9-inch display, and with the second fold, it looks like a regular smartphone with a 6.4-inch display. It has a triple-camera setup and houses a 5,600mAh battery with support for 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.
