Huawei’s next tri-fold phone will share the stage with a major software release. The company has confirmed a September 7 event for the HUAWEI Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design and HarmonyOS 7, signaling that the successor to its unusual tablet-size folding phone is being positioned as part of a broader hardware-and-software push.
For portable-computing fans, the Mate XT 2 is the centerpiece. The original Mate XT Ultimate Design used two hinges to unfold into a 10.2-inch display, giving it a tablet-like workspace in a device that can fold down for travel. Huawei has not yet detailed the new model’s display, hinge design, or durability improvements, though those areas will be among the most consequential details at launch for a tri-fold form factor.
Reported storage options, but few official specifications
Huawei’s official materials currently confirm the Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design name and its appearance at the HarmonyOS 7 event. IT Home reports that the device will be offered in black, white, and purple, with 16GB of RAM and either 512GB or 1TB of storage. The report also points to a purple version paired with a stylus and 2TB of storage. Huawei has yet to confirm those configurations publicly.
No pricing, market availability, or detailed hardware specifications have been provided. That leaves open whether the Mate XT 2 will be sold beyond China, including in the United States, and how Huawei will evolve the productivity and large-screen experience established by the first-generation model.
Andy Lau to attend the launch
Richard Yu confirmed that actor Andy Lau will attend the event, which begins at 2:30 p.m. in China. Huawei named Lau an ambassador for the Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design on September 2. His appearance underscores the flagship status Huawei is assigning to the tri-fold, while the event itself should provide the missing details on the hardware’s practical tablet-replacement ambitions.
