In a post on Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Huawei will unveil a new tri-fold smartphone in the second half of this year. This model, potentially named Huawei Mate XT 2, is said to feature the same screen resolution as the original Mate XT Ultimate Design. This model is tipped to arrive with a new chipset and is said to offer camera upgrades and other hardware improvements.
