Huawei Mate XT 2 tri-fold will be available in these colors
Hot on the heels of the newly-released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Huawei is about to launch the successor to its tri-fold smartphone: the Mate XT. A new report reveals what colors we can expect for the phone, as well as how well the company expects its super expensive phone to successor to the Huawei Mate XT will come with at least these color options at launch: Mystic Black Bright White Auspicious Red Crimson Purple Despite a really high price tag ( $2,800 ), the Mate XT actually sold quite well. That's especially surprising considering that, shortly after launch, the phone's price skyrocketed due to shortages. At one point, the tri-fold marvel cost an insanely high $10,000, putting it well past the reach of most consumers and tech enthusiasts. As such, with the improvements for the successor, the industry is expecting ( translated source ) the Huawei Mate XT 2 to sell a respectable number of units as well. Unless Samsung has something secret in store for the Galaxy G Fold, the Mate XT 2 will become the world's second mass-produced consumer tri-folding smartphone. Huawei Mate XT is the world's first consumer-grade tri-foldable. | Image credit — Huawei The Mate XT 2 has better cameras, an improved user experience, and better performance overall, according to the report. Previous leaks have claimed that the phone will come out around September, and this report also backs that rumor. I wonder whether the release of the iPhone 17 lineup during that month will snatch away the spotlight from Huawei. The aforementioned Galaxy G Fold is said to be a tri-fold that is currently under development by Samsung. It was first expected to be announced at Galaxy Unpacked earlier this month, but was mysteriously missing. A later interview with a Samsung executive confirmed that the company is being cautious, as it doesn't know if there's any demand for such an expensive device. The Huawei Mate XT 2 will likely follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, and release globally shortly after a domestic launch. Samsung is expected to do the same with the G Fold, which is going to see a very limited and exclusive launch at first in a select few markets.

Huawei Watch GT 6 coming in two variants with plenty of color options
The renowned Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, revealed that Huawei is getting ready to announce its Watch GT 6 series this fall, probably alongside the Mate XT 2 in September or October. The GT 6 will arrive in two variants - 41mm and 46mm, each offering a wide selection of paint jobs. The 41mm is supposedly codenamed Kinsu, with gold, purple, brown, white, and black color options, while the 46mm Atum will come in gray, brown, silver, titanium, green, and black. Then again, the tipster may be referring to the strap colors, not the watches themselves, but it's still too early to tell as details are scarce. Last year's Huawei Watch GT 5 came in the same two sizes - 41mm and 46mm, so we are not expecting any major shifts in the design. Source

Samsung TriFold's biggest rival could come with upgraded cameras and a new chip
Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR HUAWEI's upcoming Mate XT 2 is set to build on its original tri-fold phone with modest spec improvements. Upgrades include the Kirin 9020 SoC, a new 50MP variable aperture main sensor, an enhanced periscope telephoto camera, and satellite connectivity. The Mate XT 2 is tipped to launch in September, while Samsung's tri-fold is expected in October. We're all hyped up about Samsung's upcoming tri-fold phone, rumored to be called either the Galaxy G Fold or the Galaxy Z TriFold, depending on which rumor you believe. While the phone will be a technological marvel in its own right, it won't be the first tri-fold phone. HUAWEI holds that title with the HUAWEI Mate XT, and we now have leaked specs for its successor. Leaker Digital Chat Station 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. 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. Paul Jones / Android Authority 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. 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 €3,500, but bleeding-edge tech comes at a cost.
