Huawei has unveiled the Mate XT2, a tri-panel foldable smartphone with a built-in privacy display, with sales set to begin on Sept. 12. The device starts at 19,999 yuan, about $2,980, while a 1TB model with the privacy display feature costs at least 24,999 yuan, or roughly $3,725..
Huawei said the Mate XT2 is the first foldable smartphone to combine a tri-fold design with a built-in privacy display.. The Mate XT2 uses a new hinge mechanism that folds its displays inward, unlike its predecessor released in 2024.. The phone has a 6.5-inch display when folded and expands to a 10.2-inch screen with 3K resolution when fully opened..
The device runs HarmonyOS, the same in-house operating system used in Huawei’s Pura X foldable. Huawei said the Mate XT2 uses its new Kirin 9050 Pro chip, which it said delivers 42% faster performance than the Mate XT.. The smartphone includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 40-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 50-megapixel periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel selfie camera on the interior display..
All versions come with 16GB of memory. Huawei also plans a collector’s edition with 2TB of storage starting at 29,999 yuan, or about $4,470.. Huawei is not expected to offer the Mate XT2 in the United States, where the company has been deemed a national security risk..
