Huawei Mate XT2 Could Arrive in October with New Chip and 6,000mAh Battery Upgrade

Fresh leaks are shedding light on Huawei’s next foldable flagship, and it could be a major step forward. The company appears ready to expand its tri-fold lineup with a new model that builds on last year’s innovation. Early details suggest meaningful upgrades in performance, battery, and design, making it one of the most anticipated foldable launches this year.

The upcoming device is expected to be called the Mate XT2, positioning it as the direct successor to the Mate XT Ultimate Edition. It is likely to improve on both the Mate XT from 2024 and the newer Mate XTs. According to the source on Weibo, Huawei may launch the Mate XT2 in October. The company could unveil it alongside the Mate 90 series.

The Mate XT2 is said to feature the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset. This would mark a clear upgrade in processing power. For comparison, the Mate XTs used the Kirin 9020, while the original Mate XT came with the Kirin 9010. As a result, users can expect better speed and efficiency.

Battery life could also see a noticeable boost. The leak suggests a battery capacity exceeding 6,000mAh. If true, this would offer longer usage on a single charge. This upgrade may also help support the device’s larger tri-fold display.

On the camera side, Huawei may follow a familiar setup. The Mate XT2 is expected to feature a system similar to the Mate X7. That model launched in November last year with a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and a 40MP ultrawide camera. This setup could deliver strong photography performance across different scenarios.

Huawei is also working on improving the physical design. Reports indicate that the Mate XT2 may include an upgraded hinge. This change aims to reduce the display crease significantly. In addition, the device is expected to support stylus input, adding more flexibility for users.

Overall, the Mate XT2 looks like a solid upgrade over its predecessors. With better hardware and a refined design, it could strengthen Huawei’s position in the foldable market. More details should surface as the expected October launch approaches.
