Digital Chat Station<\/a> has shared the specifications for the next iteration of the HUAWEI Mate XT on Weibo. The leaker cited TENAA regulatory listings for a phone with model number GRL-AL20 to indicate that HUAWEI has received a certification for 5G support.<\/p>\n![\"Digital](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Digital-Chat-Station-on-HUAWEI-Mate-XT-2.jpg\"\/ "\\"Digital")

The successor to the Mate XT is expected to be a minor upgrade to the original tri-fold phone. For its specs, the Mate XT 2 (presumed name) is said to feature the Kirin 9020 SoC and satellite connectivity (possibly only in China). Upgrades are said to come in the form of a new 50MP large-pixel sensor with variable aperture and some improvements to the periscope telephoto camera.<\/p>\n

Despite these minor upgrades, HUAWEI is a strong competitor against Samsung, primarily because it already has a big lead with the Mate XT. The Mate XT Ultimate Edition featured a Kirin 9010 SoC, 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, a 5,600mAh battery with support for 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.<\/p>\n
The camera setup consisted of a 50MP f\/1.4-f\/4 primary sensor, a 12MP periscope telephoto for 5.5x optical zoom, a 12MP ultrawide, and an 8MP selfie camera. The OLED displays steal the show, with the three setups possible: 10.2-inch fully unfolded, 7.9-inch when folded once, and 6.4-inch when fully folded. It does cost an eye-watering \u20ac3,500, but bleeding-edge tech comes at a cost.<\/p>\n

The Mate XT 2 is expected to launch in September, while Samsung\u2019s tri-fold is expected in October. Samsung definitely has its task cut out for itself, though the playing field is tilted in its favor thanks to availability in Western markets.<\/p>\n
