Huawei Mate XT 2 Next-Gen Tri-Fold Officially Announced: Launching Soon! Debuts HarmonyOS 7

HarmonyOS 7 | HUAWEI Mate XT 2 and all-scenario new product launch event has been officially announced, scheduled for 14:30 on September 7.

According to Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO He Gang, the Mate XT 2 and Pura X View will both officially debut at this event, with the HarmonyOS 7 official version pre-installed as the first release.

Notably, the Mate XT 2 triple-fold has undergone a major design adjustment this time, with the folding mechanism shifting from a Z-shape to a U-shape.

The overall design is somewhat similar to Samsung's G-shape, except the folding order is reversed—folding the left side first, then the right side. After folding, the screen is completely enclosed within the body, greatly enhancing protection.

Meanwhile, the Huawei Mate XT 2 is equipped with a standalone external display, allowing users to make calls, quickly reply to messages, or scan QR codes for payments without unfolding the large internal screen, significantly improving convenience in daily use.

In terms of hardware specifications, leaks suggest the Mate XT 2 will be powered by the Kirin 9050 series flagship chip, the world's first mass-produced mobile chip featuring logic folding technology. It upgrades the core logic circuits to a dual-layer vertical stacked architecture, replacing traditional "geometric scaling" with "temporal scaling," achieving a leap in performance and energy efficiency without relying on more advanced lithography processes.

According to Huawei's earlier introduction, the Kirin 2026 achieves a 53.5% increase in transistor density, reaching a new industry high of 238 million transistors per square millimeter, meaning 238 million transistors can be integrated per square millimeter of chip area—theoretically on par with Intel's 18A process and close to TSMC's first-generation 3nm. Additionally, the chip's P-core energy efficiency has improved by 41%, and the maximum frequency has increased by 12.7%, achieving a dual leap in both performance and energy efficiency.
