Through the new generation Double-rotating Falcon Wing Hinge, Huawei bestowed Huawei Mate Xs 2 with an elegant unibody design, which boasts a flat and seamless fold. The phone is also equipped with flag-ship features, including an industry-leading 7.8” True-Chroma Foldable Display and a 50MP True-Chroma Camera System that supports Huawei XD Optics, taking its excellent performance to new heights.

Innovative materials: Ultra-light, ultra-flat and super durable
Huawei Mate Xs 2 features the Huawei-exclusive new-generation Double-rotating Falcon Wing Hinge Design. When unfolded, the screen becomes as flat and smooth as a mirror, bringing users a more immersive foldable experience. The hinge of Huawei Mate Xs 2 is exquisitely built with Huawei’s self-developed ultra-light, high strength steel, which exhibits a strong load-bearing capacity. In such a way, Huawei Mate Xs 2 enjoys both a lighter weight and a higher strength.
The Huawei Mate Xs 2 weighs only 255g, a weight that only a non-foldable phone has previously reached. This was made possible by employing Innovative Light Materials, such as ultra-light glass fibres for the phone’s backplane, as well as aerospace-grade titanium alloys and ultra-light, high strength steel for its structure. These ultra-light, innovative materials not only reduce the overall weight of the phone, but also give the device excellent strength and fracture toughness.
Flagship Huawei Image creates a masterpiece

The True-Chroma Camera System of Huawei Mate Xs 2 includes a 50MP True-Chroma Camera for capturing true-to-life colours. The improved Huawei XD Optics brings brand-new information recovery technology to further elevate image clarity, helping restore image details in a way that breaks the boundaries of physics.
