With Apple’s first foldable iPhone expected to be unveiled in two days, Huawei and Xiaomi have presented new foldable smartphones in China.

Huawei held a product event in Guangzhou and introduced the Mate XT2 series, a tri-fold phone whose fully opened display reaches tablet size. The company priced the new devices from 19,999 yuan to 24,999 yuan, or roughly 4 million to 5 million won.

The Mate XT2 changes the folding structure used in the previous Mate XT series. The earlier model folded one of its two folding screens outward in a Z-shaped design. The new model folds both screens inward, creating a G-shaped structure.

The phone uses Huawei’s new Kirin 9050 Pro chip. Samsung Electronics also released a G-shaped tri-fold smartphone in December 2025. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to cost around 4 million won, placing it in a similar price range to Huawei’s new device.
