Huawei Mate X2 folding phone patent shows unique design
Huawei has filed a new patent in EUIPO, the latest patent shows a unique layout. Huawei is expected to launch a revised version of the original Mate X folding phone during Mobile World Congress 2020. It’s currently known as the Huawei Mate Xs and isn’t the Mate X2. The Mate Xs are likely to be very similar to the first Mate X on the outside, but with the new Kirin 990 processor inside, an improved hinge, and a tougher folding display.
Unlike the Mate X, a patent filed by Huawei shows what could be the Mate X2 with a screen that folds inward, like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. However, the design will allow for a sidebar down one edge, which makes the phone easier to hold with one hand, something we noted about the current Mate X. This bar has a display on one side, which could be used to show notifications. There doesn’t seem to be any other outer display.
The Huawei Mate X2 may be one of the first phones to use a new Huawei Kirin processor, which traditionally arrives at the IFA technology show held in Berlin every September. This chip would succeed the current Kirin 990 processor. The device having a 5G connection seems almost certain. Otherwise, there are no rumors yet about the Mate X2’s specification.

Huawei officially announced the new FreeBuds Pro 4 headphones. This is the first TWS headset equipped with HarmonyOS NEXT and will be officially launched at the Huawei Mate Brand Festival on November 26.
As can be seen from the poster, the headset adopts an in-ear design with black and gold color matching, and the overall shape is similar to the previous generation. With the support of the new system, FreeBuds Pro 4 is expected to bring more functional upgrades.
For reference, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 was released in September last year with an initial price of 1,499 yuan . It is equipped with the Kirin A2 chip that uses Polar code, supports Star Flash connection core technology and Bluetooth technology, and the new L2HC 3.0 protocol.
