Huawei announces HUAWEI Mate X2 as the new generation of its flagship foldable smartphones

Huawei Consumer Business Group today announced HUAWEI Mate X2, under the slogan “Imagine What Unfolds”, the new-generation foldable flagship smartphone that unfolds new and exciting experiences with a brand new Falcon Wing Design opening up new possibilities in the realm of mobile technology.

Featuring an all-new compact design with a deliberately shifted point of balance, HUAWEI Mate X2 handles exceptionally whether folded or not. The unfolded display is one of the industry’s largest, offering a consistent user experience across the two forms. Engineered with precision, HUAWEI Mate X2 folds perfectly into a compact form factor, and unfolds beautifully into a flat display.

The high-strength steel and carbon fibre composite chassis makes for a light yet robust device. Combining the Urtla Vision Leica Quad Camera, powerful dual-speaker stereo sound system and the blazing fast Kirin 9000 5G chipset, HUAWEI Mate X2 exemplifies some of the best technology the industry has to offer.

“With some of the best software and hardware innovations at its core, HUAWEI Mate X2 represents a giant leap forward and sets the bar for future foldable devices,” said Richard Yu, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Consumer BG. “While the HUAWEI Mate Xs was largely regarded as the best-in-class foldable device, we continued to push for new ways to further improve the foldable experience. The HUAWEI Mate X2 represents the future of smartphone technology, with pioneering innovations and a truly fantastic user experience across the board.”

With its dual-screen design, HUAWEI Mate X2’s flexible inner display measures 8 inches diagonally, one of the largest of its kind, and a 6.45-inch OLED display on the outside. Both displays have a super high resolution, a high touch sample rate and a refresh rate of 90Hz to offer a consistent experience as users switch from one mode to another.

Unfolding new experiences

With two displays, HUAWEI Mate X2 offers the best of both worlds. The larger display offers an expansive viewing area, while the foldability of the device maximises portability. HUAWEI Mate X2’s large display is complemented by a suite of smart features designed around multi-tasking. With Smart Multi-Window, Floating Window, App Multiplier, App Bubble and more, users can efficiently multi-task even on a single display. Multi-Window lets users quickly preview content on another app without minimising the active app, such as previewing an email attachment on the Email app, or opening a hyperlink on the Notepad.

Delivering the best of next-generation smartphone performance

Beyond its outstanding aesthetics, HUAWEI Mate X2 is a highly versatile powerhouse that combines flagship audio-visual capabilities with a blazing fast and power-efficient chip that supports high-speed, stable connectivity. As a flagship smartphone designed by Huawei, an industry leader in mobile camera technology, HUAWEI Mate X2 is equipped with the Urtla Vision Leica Quad Camera to let consumers document and share their lives in crystal clarity, at any time of the day. The camera setup includes a 50MP Super Sensing Wide Camera that has one of the first sensors to incorporate a RYYB colour filter array, a 10x Telephoto Camera features a periscope optics design, and supports 10 times optical zoom, 20 times hybrid zoom and 100 times digital zoom for long-range photography. Finally, the 16MP Urtla Wide Camera not only offers an impressive field of view for scenic shots, but also supports macro mode for shooting objects as close as 2.5cm from the lens.

HUAWEI Mate X2 provides excellent performance, power efficiency and high-speed connectivity, powered by Kirin 9000, the most integrated and versatile 5G system-on-a-chip (SoC) with the most transistors to date. The HUAWEI Mate X2 has a massive 4500mAh battery and supports 55W HUAWEI SuperCharge, the fastest charging solution yet available on foldable devices.
