This morning, Huawei officially confirmed that the Mate X2 will be released on February 22. The device has been leaked multiple times before, and almost all of its specifications have already been revealed. Today, the official announcement unveiled the hardware specifications of this foldable phone.
According to the official Huawei Kirin WeChat account, the Huawei Mate X2 will be powered by the Kirin 9000 chipset.
The Kirin 9000 is an octa-core chipset manufactured using a 5nm process. It has eight cores, including one Cortex-A77 core clocked at 3.13 GHz, three Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2.54 GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.05 GHz. It also features a Mali-G78 GPU.
Due to the U.S. chip ban, the production of the Kirin 9000 chipset is low, and the Mate X2 may only be available in limited quantities. This chipset was previously used in the Mate 40 series.
According to previous reports, the Huawei Mate X2 will feature an inward-folding dual-screen design. It has an 8.01-inch inward-folding main screen with a resolution of 2480 x 2200, and a 6.45-inch secondary screen with a resolution of 2700 x 1160.
The phone is expected to have a 4,400 mAh battery. The back of the device will feature a quad-camera setup (50MP, 16MP, 12MP, 8MP).
