Huawei has officially confirmed a major product launch event scheduled for September 7, 2026, at 14:30. The event will center on the debut of the Mate XT 2 tri-fold smartphone and the official presentation of HarmonyOS 7. Technical speculation regarding the Mate XT 2 suggests the device may employ a U-shaped or G-shaped dual inward-folding structure and a redesigned hinge system to minimize visible screen creases and better protect the internal screen. Hardware rumors have evolved to suggest the device may be powered by a Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, potentially utilizing advanced 3nm-class processes or proprietary logic folding technology. Other anticipated features include a possible 200-megapixel main camera system, a large battery capacity exceeding 6,000 mAh, and the use of UFG glass for increased durability. The launch is expected to highlight the integration of HarmonyOS 7 with the tri-fold form factor, specifically focusing on seamless interface transitions and multi-window management. Recent reports indicate that China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has identified HarmonyOS as the world’s third-largest mobile operating system, with the OpenHarmony ecosystem surpassing 1.35 billion cumulative devices. Beyond the tri-fold smartphone, the September launch window is expected to be highly competitive within the mobile industry, following Huawei’s event with flagship releases from Apple, Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO, and Honor. The Huawei event is also expected to showcase the Pura X View and other ecosystem products, with indications that a subsequent event may be held in late September to introduce the Mate 90 series.
