Huawei’s next flagship foldable looks set to build on the momentum of last year’s Mate X6. A new leak from a well-known Weibo tipster points to a device codenamed “Delphi” that’s widely expected to launch as the Huawei Mate X7, complete with a larger inner display, a next‑generation Kirin chip, camera upgrades, and a slimmer yet longer-lasting design.
According to the leak, the Mate X7 will feature a 7.95-inch inner display using an LTPO panel with a 2K-class resolution. That combination suggests smooth adaptive refresh rates and sharper visuals for multitasking, media, and gaming. Powering it could be the Kirin 9030, tipped to be Huawei’s next flagship chipset and rumored to deliver around 20% more performance than the Kirin 9020 found in the Mate X6 and Mate 70 series. The manufacturing process node hasn’t been confirmed, but the focus appears to be on both speed and efficiency.
Battery life and ergonomics may see meaningful gains too. The prototype reportedly packs a larger battery while keeping the body even thinner, hinting at improved engineering for all-day use without added bulk. On the camera side, Huawei is said to be evaluating two 50 MP primary sensor options—one at 1/1.56-inch and another at 1/1.3-inch—suggesting the company is testing different balances of light capture, detail, and stabilization to fine-tune image quality.
The Mate X7 prototype is currently being tested in multiple finishes, including Obsidian Black, Phantom Purple, Cosmic Red, Cloud Blue, and Cloud White. If Huawei follows last year’s playbook, an official launch could land around November, potentially alongside the Mate 80 series.
Rumored Huawei Mate X7 highlights:
– Codename: Delphi
– Inner display: 7.95 inches, LTPO, 2K-class resolution
– Chipset: Kirin 9030, expected next-gen flagship with an estimated 20% performance boost over Kirin 9020
– Design: Larger battery while becoming thinner overall
– Cameras: Testing two 50 MP primary sensors (1/1.56-inch and 1/1.3-inch)
– Colors in testing: Obsidian Black, Phantom Purple, Cosmic Red, Cloud Blue, Cloud White
– Launch window: Likely similar to Mate X6’s November debut; Mate 80 series may arrive around the same time
As with any early leak, details can change before launch. Still, if these specs hold, the Huawei Mate X7 could emerge as one of the most compelling large-screen foldables of the year, blending a sharper adaptive display, faster silicon, better cameras, and sleeker hardware into a single flagship package.
