Huawei will introduce Mate XT 2 with HarmonyOS 7 on September 7

Huawei launches its new trifoldable phone Mate XT 2 on September 7, 2026 He announced that he would introduce it at an event to be held in China. In the event announcement, the company clearly states that it will bring Mate XT 2 and HarmonyOS 7 to the same stage. The leaks circulating in recent weeks are Kirin 9050 Pro processor, renewed hinge structure and Battery over 6,000 mAh It brings up important hardware changes such as. Since Huawei has not yet shared the detailed technical specifications and price of the phone, it is necessary to distinguish between official information and leaks at this point.

There is a significant difference between the previous news and the new announcement regarding the launch date. The patent news that appeared in mid-July pointed to October for the Mate XT 2, and at the end of July, Digital Chat Station claimed that Huawei would introduce the device in early September. Huawei’s latest event announcement confirmed the second scenario and confirmed the date September 7 finalized as. The company is planning the event as an “all-scenarios” launch focused on HarmonyOS 7 and Mate XT 2, so we may encounter other Huawei products on the same day.

Leaks on the design side suggest the possibility of a more significant break from the previous Mate XT approach. Patent drawings that appeared in July show an inward-folding mechanism in which two side panels close over the main flexible display. The patent also hints at a separate cover display and a large, round camera module positioned near the center on the back. However, a patent does not have to directly show the mass production design, so Huawei may provide different details on September 7.

Huawei’s current Mate XT model offers a solid starting point for comparison. When the first Mate XT is fully opened 10.2 inchesIt offers a 7.9-inch OLED screen in two-screen use and a 6.4-inch OLED screen in a single-screen mode, reaching a resolution of 2232 × 3184 pixels in three-screen mode. Huawei also uses a double-hinged structure, an adaptive refresh rate of up to 90 Hz and a 50-megapixel variable aperture main camera in the first model. In its own records, the company describes the Mate XT as the world’s first commercial tri-foldable phone as of September 2024.

Kirin 9050 Pro and new hinge stand out

Kirin 9050 Pro makes the strongest hardware claim regarding Mate XT 2 features. Recent reports from Digital Chat Station suggest that Huawei will use this chip in the new tri-foldable model, while also reconsidering the hinge system to reduce screen curvature. Some sources also mention the use of UFG-grade glass in the flexible display, but Huawei has not confirmed these details so far. Since we have not tested the device yet, it would be better to wait for the technical announcements on September 7 rather than drawing conclusions about performance, heating or hinge feel.

We see a similar picture on the battery and camera side. Leaks It will exceed the 6,000 mAh limitAs for the camera, he says that the large main sensor and periscope telephoto solution are among Huawei’s plans. This value represents a significant increase compared to the 5,600 mAh battery of the Mate XTs model released in 2025. Mate XTs also offers the Kirin 9020 processor, 10.2-inch tri-foldable OLED display and 66W wired charging, so if the Mate XT 2’s Kirin 9050 Pro and higher capacity battery claims come true, Huawei will have made a clear generational transition on the hardware side.

Price and sales plan are not clear yet

Huawei does not currently announce the price or sales date for the Mate XT 2. Here previous models only provide us with context. First Mate XT in China 19,999 yuan launched with a starting price, Huawei will set this level for Mate XTs in 2025 17,999 yuan pulled. Some new leaks suggest around 10,000 yuan for the Mate XT 2, but this figure is significantly different from the prices of the previous two models, so it should not be taken as a strong price prediction before the official announcement comes.

There is a similar uncertainty on the Turkish side for now. Huawei Türkiye is exhibiting the first Mate XT at the Marmara Forum experience store, which it opened in July 2026, but the company clearly says that there is no official sale of this model in Türkiye. Therefore, we do not have any confirmed information to expect Türkiye sales for the Mate XT 2 immediately after its Chinese launch. Long story short, September 7 Learning the final version of the design, the real features of the Kirin processor, the battery capacity, the camera system and how HarmonyOS 7 uses the triple-folding screen will be the main determining points of the news.
