If true, it would be a really significant upgrade over the previous-generation models. Here\u2019s why adding health management could prove especially compelling.<\/p>\n<p>As per a Weibo tipster\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mydrivers.com\/1\/1146\/1146695.htm\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reporting<\/a>, Huawei plans to integrate health-related features into the Mate XT 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huaweicentral.com\/huawei-mate-xt-2-triple-foldable-launch-locked-for-september-7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">triple-foldable<\/a>. This particular add-on will allow users to detect issues or monitor health without the watch\/band requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Health features have mainly been a part of Huawei <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huaweicentral.com\/huawei-september-2-global-launch-event\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">smartwatches<\/a> or fitness bands rather than phones or tablets. The company implements a variety of sensors like ECG, PPG, Body or Skin temperature, X-TAP, and more to keep an eye on your health.<\/p>\n<p>But it seems Huawei is now bringing the health monitoring capability to its next-generation tri-fold. The leak suggests the firm could include an ECG sensor that may enable users to track the electrical activity of the heart and evaluate its rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>The company has used a similar trick with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huaweicentral.com\/huawei-pura-90-pro-series-to-get-new-gestures-ai-features-this-month\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pura 90 Pro<\/a> models. Official inputs hint that the flagship supports an interactive software feature that lets you measure your heart rate by simply placing your finger on the rear camera module or flash.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-153675\" class=\"size-full wp-image-153675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pura90Pro.jpg\" alt=\"Huawei Pura 90 Pro health monitoring feature\" width=\"1024\" height=\"796\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-153675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Image Credits: Weibo)<\/p>\n<p>Pura 90 Pro generally uses optical sensing and signal processing to detect blood flow fluctuations (pulse waves) when you place your finger over the camera bump.<\/p>\n<p>Making this more interactive, Huawei has used an animated virtual pet on your home screen that reacts and displays your real-time heartbeat pace.<\/p>\n<p>And the latest leak suggests that the Huawei Mate XT 2 triple-foldable could continue to use this tech feature. It may use the photoplethysmography principle to measure the heart rate data and deliver accurate reports within 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, the upcoming tri-fold may replace your watch for health monitoring.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149329\" class=\"size-full wp-image-149329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/MateXT.jpg\" alt=\"Huawei Mate XT tri-fold\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-149329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Image Credits: Huawei)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Huawei Mate XT 2 is expected to introduce health-monitoring features.
