Huawei is no stranger when it comes to foldable phones. In fact, Huawei was right alongside Samsung when both companies announced their first-ever foldables, and now it looks like Huawei is gearing up to launch its next handset.
This is according to a post on Weibo by the company where they shared a teaser image of the upcoming Huawei Mate XS 2. According to the rumors, the Mate XS 2 is expected to come with an 8-inch OLED foldable display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and oddly enough will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset.
This is a strange choice given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the flagship chipset for 2022, and assuming the phone is priced similar to Huawei’s other foldables, this might be a tough sell for the company. It is also rumored to feature a 4,500mAh battery and will also support 66W fast charging.
The launch of the Huawei Mate XS 2 is on the heels of Huawei’s other foldable, the Huawei P50 Pocket which launched in December last year. It is unclear if there are plans to bring the Mate XS 2 to markets outside of China, but ever since the US blacklisted them, the company’s market share has taken a hit, especially now their use of Android is severely limited, resulting in Huawei attempting to push its own HarmonyOS smartphone platform.
