On September 7, 2026, Huawei officially introduced the Mate XT2 Ultimate Design in China, succeeding the previous Mate XT model. This innovative tri-fold smartphone features significant enhancements in its chipset, body durability, camera capabilities, and battery performance.
Availability and Pricing
The Huawei Mate XT2 will be available for purchase in China starting September 12, 2026. Pricing ranges from 19,999 yuan (approximately Rp52.6 million) to 29,999 yuan (around Rp79 million), depending on the configuration.
Display Features
When folded, the Mate XT2 features a 6.5-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 2,442 x 1,140 pixels and an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120 Hz. Unfolded, the device offers a remarkable 10.2-inch screen with a resolution of 2,232 x 3,184 pixels. The standard version supports a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz on the inner display, while the privacy screen variant can reach 120 Hz.
Despite its tri-fold design, the Mate XT2 maintains a slim profile, measuring only 3.5-4 mm thick when opened and 12.3 mm when completely folded, with a total weight of approximately 299 grams.
Performance and Durability
Powering the device is the Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, paired with 16 GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 256 GB to a massive 2 TB. The smartphone runs on HarmonyOS 7.0.
To enhance durability, Huawei has integrated Kunlun Glass for the outer display and utilized UTG for the flexible screen. The company claims that the outer screen's drop resistance has improved by 30 times, while the inner display's impact resistance has increased by 200%. Additionally, the hinge's durability has been enhanced by 90% compared to its predecessor. The Mate XT2 also boasts IP58 and IP59 certifications for water and dust resistance.
Camera and Battery Specifications
The rear camera setup includes a primary 50 MP RYYB sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a variable aperture ranging from f/1.49 to f/4.0. This is accompanied by a 40 MP ultra-wide camera and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with f/2.2 and OIS capabilities. Huawei has incorporated third-generation Red Maple color technology to enhance color reproduction in photos.
Powering the device is a robust 5,600 mAh battery, supporting 66W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with reverse wireless charging functionality.
Health Features and Market Impact
One standout feature of the Huawei Mate XT2 is its EKG functionality. Users can simply unfold the device and hold both sides of the frame for about 30 seconds to record heart signals and generate an electrocardiogram report.
The launch of the Mate XT2 comes just two days ahead of Apple's event on September 9. According to Reuters, Huawei currently holds approximately 68% of the foldable smartphone market in China as of the second quarter of 2026, making the arrival of this new tri-fold model a significant player in the premium foldable smartphone competition.
Huawei offers the Mate XT2 in a variety of configurations, with official prices listed accordingly. While the first sales will begin in China on September 12, 2026, it remains unclear whether the Mate XT2 will be available globally or in Indonesia.
