Overview
- Huawei opened pre-orders in China on Monday with a 1,000 yuan reservation deposit and a final-payment window that begins after 2:45 p.m. on September 7.
- The company listed three finishes—black, white and Jinzi purple—and four 16GB RAM storage tiers ranging from 512GB to 2TB, with the top 2TB model bundled with a stylus.
- Huawei's store shows a 16GB/1TB privacy-matte display option and reports indicate the 2TB stylus edition is currently exclusive to the purple finish.
- Leaked and reported hardware details include a Kirin 9050 Pro chip, roughly a 6,000mAh battery, a triple rear-camera module and 100W fast charging but those specs remain unconfirmed until the September 7 launch.
- The preorder window and inward-fold redesign position the Mate XT 2 as a competitive counterpoint to Apple and Samsung foldables and could affect when buyers actually receive units, since shipments are expected no later than October 31.
