In February 2021, Huawei introduced the Mate X2. This new device in the foldable phone lineup was very popular upon its debut. The company seems to be working on a new vertically foldable phone like the Galaxy Z Flip lineup.
This morning, a Chinese blogger revealed that we will be able to see the all-new Mate V before the end of this year. It adopts an upper and lower folding screen design and is also powered by the latest Kirin 9000 chipset.
It is currently unclear whether the Kirin 9000 chipset supports 5G. However, it is worth mentioning that there is already a 4G version of this chipset, which has the same specifications but lacks 5G network connectivity. Last time, the Kirin 9000 4G chipset was used in the Huawei P50 series.
Currently, in the market, many Chinese smartphone makers (including OPPO and vivo) are looking forward to launching their first horizontally foldable phones. Meanwhile, Huawei has taken its foldable phones to another level with the launch of the Mate V with a vertical folding solution.
Currently, several devices such as the Galaxy Z Flip series and the Motorola Razr will be the main competitors to the upcoming Huawei Mate V.
