Huawei has released its new foldable smartphone, the Mate Xs 2, in China. Alongside that, the brand has also introduced a budget tablet, dubbed as MatePad SE. The former starts at CNY 9,999 (nearly Rs. 1.15 lakh) and it will go on sale from May 6 onward. The latter is already up for grabs in the country starting at CNY 1,500 (roughly Rs. 17,300).

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • The Mate Xs 2 is Huawei's latest attempt to convince people that outward folding smartphones are a viable option. The device comes as the successor to the Mate Xs that went official in 2020.
  • It is a slightly redesigned version with upgraded specifications, a more durable screen, and a refined double rotor hinge mechanism to prevent a visible crease on the display.
Design and display
It sports a 120Hz OLED display

The Mate Xs 2 sports an outward folding design, a metallic frame, a right-aligned punch-hole cut-out, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The device provides a 7.8-inch QHD+ (2200x2480 pixels) OLED display in open state. When closed, you get a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ (1176x2480 pixels) OLED screen. The screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 424ppi pixel density.

Information
It features a 50MP primary camera

The Mate Xs 2 offers a triple rear camera arrangement that comprises a 50MP (f/1.8) main snapper, a 13MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor, and an 8MP (f/2.4) telephoto lens with OIS and 30x digital zoom. For selfies, it gets a 10MP (f/2.2) front-facing camera.

Internals
A Snapdragon 888 SoC powers the device

The Mate Xs 2 is powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. It boots HarmonyOS 2 and packs a 4,880mAh battery with 66W fast-charging support. Connectivity options on the device include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a Type-C port. At 255gm, it is 45gm lighter than its predecessor.
