The buzz around Huawei’s innovative approach to foldable smartphones continues to grow with exciting news about a potential successor to the Huawei Mate XT. Known for its groundbreaking tri-fold design, the Mate XT captivated tech enthusiasts when it debuted last year. Now, rumors are swirling online about what we can expect from its upcoming version.
According to a reputable source on Weibo, Fixed Focus Digital, the next-gen model is likely to house the newer Kirin 9020 chipset. This represents an upgrade from the Mate XT’s Kirin 9010 processor. The Kirin 9020, already making waves in Huawei’s flagship Mate 70 series, is a robust 12-core processor built on a 7nm process. It also features the Maleoon 920 GPU, clocked at 840MHz, which promises improved graphics performance.
In terms of raw power, the Kirin 9020 boasts single-core capabilities that rival those of Snapdragon’s 888+ and 7+ Gen 2, with multi-core performance aligning with the Dimensity 8300 and 9200 chipsets. While it might not match up to the latest offerings from Qualcomm and MediaTek’s flagship models, it certainly presents a significant leap over the previous Kirin 9010.
As speculations mount, fans eagerly await the official release details. Drawing on past trends, given that the Mate XT made its debut last September, there’s a good chance its successor could follow a similar launch schedule. All eyes are on Huawei to see how this tri-fold innovation will evolve and what new features it might pack, promising to set new benchmarks in the foldable smartphone market.
