JAKARTA - Huawei is rumored to be preparing the latest generation of their three-fold folding smartphone through a device called Huawei Mate XT 2. The latest leaks reveal a number of important improvements, ranging from a stronger hinge design to a larger battery capacity.
This information comes from a tipster from China, Hyperdimensional Realm, who said that the Huawei Mate XT 2 could launch in October 2026.
If the schedule is correct, this device will be introduced simultaneously with the Mate 90 series in the Chinese market. This step will follow Huawei's previous launch pattern for their premium foldable device line.
Although there is no official confirmation from Huawei, the details circulating show that the company is focusing on strengthening the durability and daily use experience.
More Sturdy HingesOne of the main improvements to the Huawei Mate XT 2 is said to lie in the hinge mechanism. The tipster claims Huawei has made significant progress in hinge technology, which could potentially reduce the visible folds on the flexible screen.
This improvement is important because on foldable devices, the quality of the hinge and the minimal crease are the main factors in long-term comfort of use.
With a tri-fold design, the structural challenges are certainly more complex than ordinary folding phones. Therefore, improvements in this area can be a major selling point for Huawei.
In addition, this device is also said to be available in several premium color options, namely Mystic Black, Auspicious Red, Crimson Purple, and Bright White.
Larger BatteryIn the performance sector, the Huawei Mate XT 2 is rumored to use the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset. This processor is said to have a major focus on AI capabilities that run directly on the device or on-device AI, a trend that is now a new direction for the premium smartphone industry.
Although Huawei has not announced official details about the chip, rumors about the Kirin 9050 Pro have emerged several times in recent weeks.
For durability, the Mate XT 2 is said to carry a battery larger than 6,000mAh. If true, this is a significant improvement over the previous generation which uses a 5,600mAh battery.
The capacity shows Huawei's efforts to overcome one of the main challenges of large screen devices, namely high power consumption.
Meanwhile, in the camera sector, its performance is said to be equivalent to the Mate X7 series, which indicates that Huawei still maintains premium photography quality in their foldable line.
With a combination of a more powerful design, a large battery, and advanced AI, the Huawei Mate XT 2 is predicted to be one of the most ambitious foldable devices in 2026.
