The second generation of foldable phones kickstarted with the Galaxy Z Fold 2 this August. While we haven’t heard much about Huawei’s upcoming foldable phone – the Huawei Mate X2, except that it might launch sometime in the third quarter of the year (which didn’t happen), new renders based on Huawei’s patent sheds light on how the foldable might look like.
Going by the patent and the new renders, the Mate X2 may fold inwards, much like the Galaxy Z Fold 2. There is even an outer cover display like the Fold 2 to continue using the device when you fold it.
The camera setup in the render looks similar to what the Huawei P40 Pro Plus offers. There are a total of four camera sensors, of which one is a periscope lens. Interestingly, Huawei seems to have skipped on the front camera (on the inside) when the device is unfolded. Instead, there are pill-shaped cameras in the cover display. This might limit multitasking capabilities, say if you want to stay on a video call while taking notes and I’m not sure how practical this approach is. Image: LetsGoDigital x Concept Creator
