Huawei Mate X2 To Feature New Folding Design & 65W SuperCharge Technology

Last month, Huawei finally released its first foldable smartphone, Huawei Mate X. While the device’s launch had been delayed several times before eventually going on sale in November. So far, the device has been well-received, except for a display issue recently reported by a Weibo user recently. In 2020, the Chinese giant will reportedly launch two foldable smartphones, Huawei Mate X2 and Huawei Mate Xs. 

The Huawei Mate Xs has been reported to be a revamped model of the Mate X with the newer Kirin 990 5G SoC, instead of the Kirin 980 SoC. Moreover, the device will come with a tougher display and a better hinge design. As for the launch date, the handset is slated to arrive in March next year in the MWC 2020 event. However, it is the Mate X that we are waiting for.

In a new tweet, @RODENT950 suggests that the Chinese OEM will introduce the Huawei Mate X2 in Q3 2020. Based on that, the foldable smartphone should get a Kirin 1000 SoC, which will also be announced next year.

He also reveals a few more details about the phone in a different tweet. Design-wise, he claims that the Mate X2 will feature a similar design to the Galaxy Fold. It means the device will fold inwards instead of outwards. He further suggests that the foldable device will carry a full-sized phone display and a smaller screen on the outside for selfies and notifications.

Based on those details, we believe that the Huawei Mate X2 will not have a tablet size when unfolded, but it will only have a size of a regular smartphone with a full-screen display, probably ranging from 6.5 inches to 6.9 inches in size. With that, it should be easy for users to put it in their pockets. 

Aside from that, he also shared another interesting bit of information about the Huawei Mate X2. He posted a photo claiming that the device will support 65W SuperCharge fast charging technology, which will be very impressive if it is true.
