Huawei confirms Mate XT 2 tri-fold to arrive in September with satellite support
I still remember the buzz around early foldable demos at a tech expo - people leaning in to test that first bendable screen, eyes lighting up when they saw what felt like tomorrow.
That sense of curiosity is exactly why the rumored Huawei Mate XT 2 has me excited.
According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Mate XT 2 is “incoming in September…”, currently undergoing internal testing in China.
Huawei is preparing a tri-fold successor to its 2024 Mate XT.

What’s new, what matters
Huawei is preparing a tri-fold successor to its 2024 Mate XT.
Built on the company’s ultra‑flexible glass (UFG) technology, the XT 2 is expected to offer stronger screen durability than before, while adding satellite connectivity similar to recent Huawei P‑series flagships.
Inside the device, expect a top-tier chipset upgrade, beefier imaging hardware, and advanced communications tech.

That combination - plus the ability to send emergency messages and basic data via satellite - could give it a unique edge in global and rural markets, including India.
China launch: September 2025, likely near the IFA timeframe
Global rollout: India & US expected soon after
Estimated starting price: ₹1.8–2.2 Lakh in India; $2,000–2,300 in US
Tri‑fold display with UFG glass
Likely 10‑inch central screen, ultra-thin at ~3.5 mm profile when folded
Satellite connectivity for emergencies/basic internet
Upgraded chipset (likely Kirin 2XXX series or Chinese-developed equivalent)
Triple or quad camera setup - expect telephoto and ultrawide lenses
Memory: 16 GB RAM / storage up to 1 TB
Huawei has steadily refined its foldables since the original Mate XT.

Competitive landscape
Huawei has steadily refined its foldables since the original Mate XT.
That model sold over 400,000 units last year, showing there’s demand for large-screen premium devices.
However, competition is heating up. Samsung’s tri-fold, codename Q7M, has already cleared certification for China and Korea with an expected 2025 launch.

Xiaomi and Honor are also working on multi-fold devices of their own.
In that light, the Mate XT 2’s satellite functionality and UFG durability signal a strategic move to stand out.
