Huawei’s Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design has now appeared in Richard Yu’s hands in its final form—and the redesigned folding mechanism is no longer merely inferred from patents and renders. In Richard Yu’s official Weibo post, the phone is handled on camera, while Huawei again confirms a September 7 presentation.
Earlier, Huawei showed a teaser pointing to a move from a Z-shaped fold to a U/G-style design. Now the actual device is visible: its two side sections fold inward, so the large flexible display is no longer exposed when the phone is closed. Huawei instead adds a separate outer display for conventional smartphone use.
That is a significant departure from the Mate XT and Mate XTs. The earlier Z-shaped system could use part of the large panel as an outer display and supported a partially unfolded intermediate format. The new mechanism should better protect the flexible panel, but it appears to give up some of that versatility. Huawei gains protection while shifting the product’s design philosophy; the September 7 event should clarify which usage modes remain.
The exterior retains several familiar cues: an octagonal camera module, a pronounced rear texture, and Ultimate Design branding. Richard Yu’s unit is finished in a dark purple shade. Six days earlier, reports had suggested that a possible Mate XT 2 had already been seen in Richard Yu’s hands, though its identity could not be confirmed at the time. That uncertainty is now gone.
Full specifications remain reserved for the event. Rumors have pointed to a new Kirin processor, a larger battery, and camera upgrades, but Huawei has not confirmed them in this teaser. What is certain is that the Huawei Mate XT 2 launch is scheduled for September 7, alongside HarmonyOS 7, and its major construction change is already clear.
