①MIIT: To fully build a new generation of communication network that is comprehensive and advanced in performance; ②Huawei releases the high-performance chip Kirin 9050 Pro after six years; ③Aojie Technology: Alibaba reduced its holdings in the company by 5.2831 million shares from August 17 to September 7.
On September 7, 2026, Huawei launched the Mate XT2 triple-foldable phone in Guangzhou, along with the Kirin 9050 Pro chip powered by the “Tao Law” architecture, and simultaneously introduced HarmonyOS 7. The Mate XT2 features a left-right folding structure, with a 10.2-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch outer screen. Its price starts at 19,999 yuan; the Kirin 9050 Pro achieves a 53.5% increase in transistor density and a 41% improvement in energy efficiency through double-layer vertical stacking, making its performance among the top in the consumer market. HarmonyOS 7 has been officially launched for commercial use, with the system kernel integrated with the Panggu Large Model 6.0. The organizational unit has shifted from “App” to “intent,” and Xiaoyi has been upgraded to a “smart brain.” The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry,” aiming to build a new generation of communication network by 2030 that is comprehensive and高性能. This launch event was held on the same day as Xiaomi’s autumn flagship event, with the goal of capturing the market vacuum before Apple’s foldable screen product launches.

On September 7, Huawei launched the Mate XT2 triple-foldable phone and the Kirin 9050 Pro chip equipped with the “Tao Law” architecture, along with HarmonyOS 7. The Mate XT2 features a left-right folding structure, with the largest 10.2-inch inner screen and 6.5-inch outer screen. Its price is…
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry”, aiming to fully establish a new generation of communication networks that are comprehensive and performantly leading by 2030. On the 9th, Huawei announced the Mate XT 2 triple-fold phone equipped with the Kirin 9050 Pro chip in Guangzhou. This chip utilizes logical folding technology to achieve significant performance improvements. According to Aoyue Technology’s announcement, Alibaba Network reduced its shareholding by 5.2831 million shares from August 17 to September 7, reducing its shareholding ratio from 12.43% to 11.17%. This reduction did not involve a tender offer and did not lead to changes in the company’s actual controllers.
Huawei recently released the high-performance chip Kirin 9050 Pro, which is Huawei’s latest product in six years. This chip is designed to enhance the performance of terminal devices, marking Huawei’s continued investment and technological breakthroughs in the semiconductor industry.
Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, introduced at the HUAWEI Mate XT 2 new product launch event held in Guangzhou that the Kirin 9050 Pro chip, the first in the industry to adopt logical folding technology, has seen a significant performance improvement. This chip features a hierarchical arrangement of logical units within a single chip, with additional vertical interconnect channels added. The peak performance of the Lingxi CPU for single-core tasks has increased by 24%, and multi-core concurrent performance has improved by 52%. The Ma Liang GPU computing unit and cache size have doubled, and its ray tracing capability reaches 50 million lines. This is the second generation of Kirin chips launched by Huawei in six years since the Mate40 global launch event. Yu Chengdong described the chip in English as “super fast, super intelligent, super cool”.
Huawei released the Mate XT 2 three-foldable phone, equipped with the world’s first “Tao Law” implementation and the Kirin 9050 Pro chip based on logical folding technology. This chip optimizes the signal transmission path by adding vertical interconnect channels internally, resulting in a 42% improvement in overall performance. The single-core performance of the Lingxi CPU has increased by 24%, while the rendering performance of the Ma Liang GPU has improved by 142%. The Da Vinci architecture NPU is equipped with the industry’s first end-side MoE full-modal large model. The transistor density has increased by 55%, and the power consumption of the NPU, GPU, and CPU cores has decreased by 73%, 58%, and 41%, respectively. Huawei plans to reach a transistor density of 1.4 nanometers for high-end chips by 2031 and introduce logical folding into the AI accelerator category by 2030.
On September 7, Huawei released the Mate XT2 three-foldable phone and the Kirin 9050 Pro chip with the “Tao Law” architecture, along with HarmonyOS 7. The Mate XT2 features a left-right folding structure, with a 10.2-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch outer screen. Its price starts at 19,999 yuan; the Kirin 9050 Pro achieves a 53.5% increase in transistor density and a 41% improvement in energy efficiency through double-layer vertical stacking, placing its performance among the top tier for consumer devices. HarmonyOS 7 has been made commercially available for the first time, with the system kernel integrated with the Panggu Large Model 6.0. The organizational unit has shifted from “App” to “intent,” and Xiao Yi has been upgraded to a “smart brain.” This launch event was held on the same day as Xiaomi’s autumn flagship, breaking the conventional practice of domestic manufacturers holding events at off-peak times, aiming to seize the market vacuum before Apple’s foldable screen product launches.
