Huawei launched its first foldable phone, the Mate X, in February 2019. Earlier this year, the Mate XS was launched as its successor, featuring several minor improvements such as a redesigned hinge and upgraded chipset. The latest leaks show that Huawei is preparing to launch a new foldable phone codenamed Mate X2. This phone recently appeared on the Wi-Fi Alliance certification website.
This smartphone has been certified with the model number Huawei TET-NX9. The certification confirms that the Huawei Mate X2 will run Android 10 and feature the Huawei EMUI 11 user interface. The device supports Wi-Fi 6 and can operate on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The website does not disclose other specifications of this smartphone. Fortunately, some details have been revealed by an insider. According to him, the phone will be powered by Huawei’s upcoming Kirin K9000 series chipset and will feature the HiSilicon Hi1105 chip. In addition, the Huawei Mate X2 will be one of the first smartphones to support Wi-Fi 6+.
