Huawei is set to unveil up to six flagship phones in a competitive autumn product cycle, led by the highly anticipated Mate XT 2, as the company seeks to reclaim attention ahead of rivals like Apple and Honor.
Huawei is preparing a crowded autumn product cycle, with reports pointing to two launch events and as many as six flagship phones. According to Huawei Central, the company is expected to use the split schedule to keep pace with rivals due to unveil major devices in September, including Apple and Honor. The strongest rumours suggest Huawei wants its most advanced handsets to dominate the conversation before the end of the year.
The clearest headline act would be the Mate XT 2, Huawei’s second-generation tri-fold device. Huawei launched the original Mate XT on 10 September 2024 as the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, with a 10.2-inch OLED display, a Kirin 9010 chip, a 5,600mAh battery and a starting price of 19,999 yuan. Consumer interest was heavy: Huawei Central later said the phone drew millions of reservations before sale. Reports from Gadgets 360 now point to a successor in September 2025, with a Kirin 9020 chipset, improved cameras, satellite connectivity and multiple colour options.
Alongside that model, the Mate 90 family is said to remain the core of Huawei’s premium line-up. Huawei Central says the series could include four versions , standard, Pro, Pro Max and RS Ultimate , while also leaving room for a possible fifth variant, possibly a Fan Edition. The most ambitious claims centre on the higher-end models, which are said to bring larger batteries, more advanced cameras, refreshed displays and new silicon, with the Pro Max and RS Ultimate tipped as the showcase devices.
The most speculative device in the mix is a wide, non-foldable handset sometimes linked in leaks to the Pura X name. Huawei Central says the model could appear at the same time as the Mate flagships, but stresses that Huawei has not confirmed any of the launches. For now, the picture remains one of expectation rather than certainty, with Huawei’s September strategy still resting on industry leaks and analyst guesses rather than official announcements.
