Previously, this new machine has obtained the network access permit for telecom equipment. The blogger @王杰百斯通 also revealed that this new phone, code-named Victoria, is Honor’s first outward-folding model, and it’s not a small-screen folding model. Combined with the news of several digital bloggers, this product is expected to be Honor’s first external folding screen phone, but the final name has not yet been determined.

In addition, according to the blogger @Digital chat station, the new Honor folding screen machine adopts a thin and light large-screen folding design, and is positioned to compete with the vertical small folding screens of competitors.

Judging from the published certification information, the Honor Magic Vs2 only supports 35W charging power, which may be related to the “thin and light” positioning of this new phone.

Huawei Mate X2

The Huawei Mate X2 is the company’s first commercial attempt at an inward folding device. This device became official in the month of February 2021 and went on sale after its launch. This device uses a different folding mechanism in comparison with other foldable from Huawei. But unlike its close competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, this device uses a crease-free hinge. 

The thickness of this device reduces towards the left folding half, hence shifting its centre of gravity for a better grip. It uses the Kirin 9000 chip and has a memory configuration of 8GB/256GB and 8GB/512GB. It runs EMUI 11.0 running on Android 10 but launched a second time with HarmonyOS.

Huawei P50 Pocket

The second device on the list is the Huawei P50 Pocket, which is the first Huawei foldable with a clamshell design. After the launch of the P50 series, leaks and rumours regarding a coming flip folding device from Huawei spread. This wasn’t the first time we heard of such rumours, but with this wave, the rumours got more precise. About four months after the launch of the P50 series, Huawei released the P50 Pocket.

It has a similar camera setup to devices in the P50 series but has the form factor of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. In China, the P50 Pocket launched with HarmonyOS 2.0 out of the box, but Europe received EMUI 12. Below its circular cutouts is a secondary display that can handle some quick widgets activities. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G powers this foldable device.

Huawei Mate Xs 2

The most recent foldable from the Chinese tech giant also made the top 3 best-selling foldable devices in China. Huawei Mate Xs 2 took Huawei’s original outward folding design. This device is by far one of the flattest folding devices in the world. It weighs 255g and has a thickness of 5.4mm when unfolded, this measurement carries along the better half of the foldable.

It comes with a triple camera setup housing 50MP, 8MP, and 13MP lenses. Furthermore, it comes with HarmonyOS 2.0 out of the box and uses the Snapdragon 888 4G processor. Some argue that this device’s features cannot justify its price, but its sale in China shows otherwise.

Huawei is still showing its resilience despite the relentless sanctions from the US government. Its performance in the Chinese market shows that if given the opportunity, it will again soar to great heights in the global market. The Huawei Mate 50 series will launch in a few months, its features will be made known towards the launch event.

The Huawei Mate Xs 2 is the successor to the Mate Xs from 2020. The Mate X foldable devices have long featured an outward folding design. The Mate X started the trend, it was shortly followed by the Mate Xs. People criticized these devices for having an outward folding design, unlike the inward folding design present on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. The next foldable from Huawei made people feel that Huawei had abandoned the outward folding mechanism. The Huawei Mate X2 used the inward folding design, but it made it better by using a self-designed hinge that eliminated an age-long problem with the Samsung foldable, the centre crease.

From leaked images, we can be certain that Huawei never abandoned its outward folding design. Like previous Mate X devices, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 will have just one large display. The screen size on this device might be similar to the Mate Xs 8-inch screen. This device will have two scenarios, the first being a tablet form-factor and the second being a normal smartphone (when folded). When it comes to processing power, the Mate Xs 2 will use the Kirin 9000 chip, but it might also offer a variant which will use the Snapdragon 888.

The tipster who leaked the images of the Huawei Mate Xs 2 mentioned a few things that we should expect from this device. The screen has holes, and has three colour options: Purple, Black and White. The screen adds multiple buffer layers to improve the anti-drop ability. The conference might showcase this added strength. This will be done in the form of a drop test. Camera abilities at the rear pixel sport a triple camera setup with 50MP, 13MP wide-angle, and an 8MP telephoto camera. There is no information available as to the full specs or price of this device, but we do know that it’ll launch on April 28.
