Huawei has unveiled its third trifold phone, the Mate XT 2, which mirrors Samsung’s design by folding the display inwards, much like the Galaxy Z TriFold. This time, though, it includes a privacy display feature, first seen on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, adding an extra layer of security.

Unlike its predecessors, the XT 2 adopts Samsung’s trifold design, folding both sides of the 10.2-inch flexible screen inward to protect the delicate display. The first Mate XT, launched in late 2024, featured an accordion-like design, leaving parts of the screen exposed, while subsequent models retained this design.

But the real surprise is the addition of a privacy OLED display. Activating this feature darkens the screen from the sides, making it difficult for prying eyes to see the content, while still visible head-on. This optional feature costs an extra ¥1,000, available only with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

Beyond the display, the XT 2 comes with Huawei’s Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, enhanced water resistance with an IP59 rating, and a triple rear camera. It has already launched in China for ¥19,999, but international release plans remain unknown. Samsung’s own Galaxy Z TriFold was withdrawn after a short period, with hints suggesting Samsung is still developing a successor.
