Huawei could unveil the Mate X8 between November 20 and 28, according to leaker RuryRen in information reported by Huawei Central. The next book-style foldable is rumored to pair the Kirin 9050 Pro processor with 16GB of RAM and HarmonyOS 7.
The reported configuration would make storage a key part of the Mate X8 lineup, with every version said to include 16GB of RAM.
- 256GB storage with 16GB RAM
- 512GB storage with 16GB RAM
- 1TB storage with 16GB RAM
- 2TB storage with 16GB RAM
The Kirin 9050 Pro is described in the report as using a LogicFolding design concept. Huawei is also expected to increase the display sizes: an 8.15-inch inner screen is rumored to use ultra-thin glass and have a less visible crease, while the outer display could measure 6.5 inches and support a 120Hz refresh rate. A hardware-level Privacy Screen feature is also said to limit viewing angles from the side.
Battery capacity could reach 6,000mAh. The rear camera system is expected to include four cameras and a new-generation multispectral sensor. Separately, leaker SmartPikachu has pointed to a 50MP main camera with a one-inch sensor and a 50MP RYYB periscope camera.
The rumored launch window would follow the scheduled November 20 debut of Huawei's OSTA sub-brand, while preorders for the MateBook Fold S are expected to open on November 14. Huawei has not confirmed the Mate X8, and the reports do not specify launch markets or pricing.
