Huawei Mate XT 2 & Mate X7 Foldables Confirmed for H2 2025 Launch

Huawei is preparing a double blow in the foldable market with not one, but two major launches planned for the second half of the year: the upgraded tri-fold Mate XT 2 and the book-style Mate X7 .

What to Expect from Mate XT 2

• Tri-fold form factor: Sticking with the 10.2‑inch multi-foldable screen that defined the original Mate XT  .

• New Kirin powerhouse: Powered by Huawei’s next-gen Kirin 9020hh chipset, boasting a 1+3+4 CPU setup and Mali‑920 GPU, indicating a clear performance jump  .

• Enhanced cameras & battery: Upgrades expected in imaging systems and battery capacity, although full specs have yet to be disclosed  .

• Slimmer hinges: Rumoured to use an improved “Tian Gong” hinge, offering a sleeker look without compromising durability  .

• eSIM-ready: Moving to a SIM-less design for internal space efficiency and future flexibility  .

Huawei’s second foldable release of H2 will be the Mate X7, featuring a more traditional book-style foldable design. Details remain scarce, but it’s expected to complement the XT 2 by targeting users preferring the classic clamshell experience  .

Release Launch

Tipsters suggest both devices are set to debut in H2 2025, building on Huawei’s experience launching the Mate XT in September 2024 (then globally in February 2025). The XT 2 is likely to preview Huawei’s triumph in triple-fold innovation ahead of competitors like Samsung looking to enter the segment.

Huawei is doubling down on foldables—and with good reason. The Mate XT 2 keeps pushing tri-fold boundaries with upgraded hardware and slimmer hinges, while the Mate X7 offers a more familiar form factor. Together they position Huawei as a serious contender in both avant-garde and widely popular foldable markets.

However, critical details like price, global availability, and foldable software enhancements remain unknown. If Huawei nails those, 2025 might be the year foldables move from novelties to mainstream.
