Earlier this week, a leak<\/a> implied that the Huawei Mate X8<\/a> will follow the 2026 tri-fold smartphone for a \u201csquare\u201d camera design. But the latest leak on this matter hints that the company might keep this lens framework exclusive to its triple-foldable.<\/p>\n

According to FixedFocus<\/a> on Weibo, Huawei will modify its tri-fold camera module with a square frame instead of an octagonal design, but may not bring it to the Mate X8.<\/p>\n

The tipster made this statement after it recently pointed out that the Mate X8 could resemble the upcoming Mate XT 2<\/a> in terms of appearance, with an even slimmer look.<\/p>\n

Mate XT 2 has been buzzing for adopting<\/a> a square camera layout on the back this year. For the past two years, Huawei has been implementing an octagonal camera part on its tri-folding phone. However, things could differ this time on a major scale.<\/p>\n

A similar speculation was made for the Huawei Mate X8 with the thinnest body design and a square camera module. However, the same tipster refutes the previous detail and hints that the company may use a different approach for its dual-fold.<\/p>\n

For the tri-fold camera performance, the tipster mentioned that while Huawei will convert the lens arrangement into a square format, consumers will notice a significant imaging performance boost with the Mate XT 2 triple foldable.<\/p>\n

Huawei\u2019s new-gen triple foldable is rumored to be the second phone in the family featuring a 200MP camera sensor. Although the accuracy of this input remains unclear, and other imaging parameters are still absent.<\/p>\n
