As North American consumers eagerly await the arrival of Samsung's highly anticipated tri-foldable smartphone, Huawei is making strides with the upcoming launch of the second-generation Mate XTs. Scheduled to be unveiled soon, this new device promises to enhance the already impressive features of its predecessor, while still retaining the core design elements that made it a standout.
Huawei has generated buzz by releasing a teaser for the Mate XTs ahead of its upcoming event, which is set to take place next week. This announcement was coupled with the opening of pre-order registrations for its Chinese customer base, sparking excitement among tech enthusiasts. The teaser provides a glimpse into the design and features of the device, offering fans a sneak peek at what they can expect.
While the Mate XTs will not completely reinvent the wheel, they maintain the distinctive design language of last year's model. Key features such as the ridged frame, octagon-shaped camera module, and the innovative map-style folding structure remain intact. However, this year’s model introduces a new aesthetic with a striking white-and-gold colorway, which is sure to attract attention.
In a move that sets the Mate XTs apart, Huawei appears to be adding stylus support to this year's model. This comes on the heels of Samsung's recent controversy regarding the removal of S Pen support from the Fold 7. The inclusion of stylus functionality in the Mate XTs could provide users with enhanced productivity and creativity, further solidifying Huawei's position in the foldable smartphone market.
In addition to design updates, Huawei is also rumored to be implementing significant spec changes in the Mate XTs. Recent leaks from Digital Chat Station indicate a potential upgrade to the Kirin 9020-series processor, which would include satellite support. This upgrade promises to deliver faster performance and improved connectivity for users, making the Mate XTs a compelling choice for tech-savvy consumers.
While the white-and-gold colorway has been showcased in the teaser, there are whispers of an additional color option—purple. Although details and visuals of this new hue have yet to be released, it adds an air of anticipation around the Mate XTs, as consumers are always on the lookout for unique and stylish devices.
As Huawei prepares for the launch of the second-generation Mate XTs, it is clear that the company aims to innovate while honoring the successful design of its predecessor. With the combination of fresh colors, added stylus support, and updated specifications, the Mate XTs are set to make a significant impact in the foldable smartphone market.
