While those of us in North America might be biding our time until Samsung\u2019s long-promised tri-foldable eventually arrives on store shelves \u2014 apparently later this year, though not at next week\u2019s Galaxy event<\/a> \u2014 Huawei is prepping to launch a second-gen version of the Mate XT. Thanks to a social media tease, we\u2019re finally getting our first real look at it.<\/p>\n

Huawei published a teaser<\/a> for the Mate XTs ahead of next week\u2019s event, simultaneously opening up pre-order registrations for its Chinese customer base. As the name might suggest, this isn\u2019t a complete reinvention of last year\u2019s tri-fold, with the XTs keeping the same core design language of its predecessor. The ridged frame, the octagon-shaped camera module, the map-style folding structure \u2014 none of it is new. What\u2019s fresh for this year, of course, is the color, with this particular teaser showcasing the device in a white-and-gold colorway.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not featured in this post, Huawei is also seemingly adding stylus support to the Mate XTs this year, based on a recent video teaser<\/a> leading up to the event. Considering the hot water Samsung found itself in last month over the loss of S Pen support on the Fold 7, it\u2019s an impressive feat. Huawei also has various spec changes coming down the pike; Digital Chat Station<\/a> recently leaked a swap to a Kirin 9020-series processor with satellite support. The tipster also suggested purple as the other main new color this year, though we have yet to see what that looks like.<\/p>\n

Huawei will be holding an event on September 4th in China to announce the Mate XTs, officially lapping Samsung in the race to bring tri-fold smartphones to other parts of the world. Galaxy fans shouldn\u2019t fret, though; Samsung shouldn\u2019t be too far behind, with the company recently confirming that its own device<\/a> \u2014 potentially called the Galaxy Z Trifold \u2014 would arrive sometime before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
