On September 7, 2026, Huawei held a new product launch event and officially released the Mate XT 2 Extraordinary Master smartphone. This model features a new G-type “Winged” folding architecture, is equipped with the second-generation Tian Gong hinge and the Kirin 9050 Pro processor, and was released simultaneously with HarmonyOS 7. In terms of screens, the inner screen is a 10.2-inch 3K OLED with integrated dual-pixel anti-peeping technology, while the outer screen has a peak brightness of 6500 nits. The imaging system has been upgraded to the third-generation Red Maple color scheme, with the main camera using a 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor and a physically variable aperture. The starting price of this model is 19,999 yuan (an increase of 2,000 yuan compared to the previous generation), and it will be officially available on September 12. So far, the cumulative number of Huawei triple-fold products shipped has exceeded one million units. After the launch event, due to the increase in memory prices, some versions became unavailable, and the market quickly saw activities by scalpers to “reserve” these products. Some platforms also experienced cases of leaking account information and charging high fees for proxy purchases, leading to concerns from security agencies and e-commerce platforms regarding the leakage of personal information…

Andy Lau attended the launch event and shared his thoughts.
Brand ambassador Andy Lau stepped onto the stage and interacted with Yu Chengdong, emphasizing that there is no standard answer to life’s choices. His philosophy aligns with the winged shape of Mate XT 2.
The Huawei Mate XT 2 Extraordinary Master features a “wings-out” design, with cumulative shipments exceeding one million units. This product utilizes a dual-axis track hinge system, an ultra-reliable tri-fold玄武 architecture, and IP58/59-level protection to optimize weight distribution and handling feel when opening and closing. Equipped with the Kirin 9050 Pro chip and HarmonyOS 7, its performance is improved by over 42%. It supports panoramic multi-windows, intelligent grip positioning, and Xiao Yi AI collaboration, reducing task processing times. Huawei has thus verified the feedback cycle from concept to practical, high-frequency use of tri-fold structures, transforming structural complexity into a stable experience and driving continuous evolution of this new category.
On September 7, Huawei released the Mate XT 2 triple-folding phone, priced at 19,999 yuan. Due to the increase in memory prices, the starting price was raised by 2,000 yuan compared to the previous generation model, and it officially went on sale on September 12. After the launch event, rapid growth occurred in the business of buying the device at inflated prices, including “instant availability,” “future orders,” and “proxy purchases.” Some scalpers claimed on social platforms that they could purchase the emerald purple version on behalf of others, requiring buyers to provide their phone numbers, verification codes, and other account information. The proxy purchase fee ranged from 499 yuan to 800 yuan. Pinduoduo responded that revealing account information and verification codes poses significant risks, and urged consumers to purchase through legitimate channels. Pei Zhiyong, director of the Industry Security Research Center at Qichen, warned that “proxy purchases” involve providing sensitive personal information, which can lead to data leakage and make it difficult to claim rights; meanwhile, mainstream e-commerce platforms have mature anti-cheating mechanisms, and most so-called “guaranteed” proxy purchases are scams, which may result in user accounts being marked or blocked.
Huawei Mate XT2 was made available for sale on September 12, with prices starting at 19,999 yuan for the 16+256GB version. The highest-end model, 16+2TB, costs 30,000 yuan. This model features the second-generation Tian Gong hinge and the Kirin 9050 Pro processor, along with a new G-type “flying wing” folding architecture that repositions the center of gravity and optimizes the handling experience. The screen consists of a 10.2-inch 3K OLED panel with integrated dual-pixel anti-peeping technology, and the outer screen has a peak brightness of 6500 nits. The imaging system has been upgraded to the third-generation Red Maple color scheme, with the main camera using a 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor and a physically variable aperture. The system comes with HarmonyOS 7, supporting live scrolling for financial applications, simultaneous display of multiple apps, and hyper-space storage technology (the 512GB model can free up over 50GB of space).
