Meanwhile, Xiaomi has picked the evening slot to unveil the Xiaomi 18 Fold.<\/p>\n<p>Huawei Mate XT 2 will adopt a new internal folding design compared to the zig-zag first-gen. It will unfold like wings on the left and the right sides. A new addition will be a cover screen, carrying a large pill-shaped camera cutout on the front.<\/p>\n<p>Yu Chengdong, Chairman of the Smart Consumer Business Group (CBG), said that the Mate XT 2 is the first to bring a tri-fold device with a 3.5 mm thin body. This new Huawei device will come with the industry\u2019s first privacy screen on a foldable smartphone. It employs a new RGB pixel design that will retain the picture quality.<\/p>\n<p>The device will use Huawei\u2019s new Logic Fold chipset designed to be the most powerful Kirin chip ever produced. The Huawei Mate XT 2 comes in three colors \u2013 black, white, and purple featuring different design schemes.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Xiaomi 18 Fold adopts a wide-fold form factor. It includes a 5.38-inch cover screen and a 7.58-inch internal display.<\/p>\n<p>The company is aiming for a synchronized experience of a bar-type phone and a medium tablet in a single device that fits right into the user\u2019s pocket.<\/p>\n<p>Xiaomi 18 Fold will use its in-house Xring 03 chipset, processed with 3nm TSMC technology and HyperOS 4. The phone will use a Leica triple camera system including a 200MP main camera, a 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the foldables, traditional bar-type flagship products are also in-line for the launch: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huaweicentral.com\/huawei-mate-90-rs-ultimate-could-bring-back-ceramic-rear-design\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Huawei Mate 90<\/a> series, Xiaomi 18 series, Honor Magic 9 series, Vivo X500 series, Oppo Find X10 series, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tomorrow, Huawei\u2019s Mate XT 2 tri-fold and Xiaomi\u2019s wide-fold smartphones will clash in China, officially kicking off a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,5218,19,17,279,82,5316],"class_list":["post-675421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-eire","tag-huawei","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology","tag-xiaomi"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117224531876475276","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
