Huawei caused a furore among visitors at CES 2019 when it unveiled its upcoming foldable phone that looked admittedly more futuristic than the prototype that Samsung had shown. However, a lot has changed between then and now. While the South Korean giant now makes the best folding items on the market, its Chinese rival has been paralyzed by the US trade ban. However, Huawei is not giving up and will launch its next foldable phone – the Mate X2 – later this month.

The company announced this on Weibo with a message confirming the name of the upcoming phone and teasing the design. The image seems misleading almost intentionally, leaving us unsure whether it shows a display that folds out or in. The original Mate X had the screen on the outside, but that wasn’t the most popular decision, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this screen was tucked away on the inside when folded.

Little else is known about the phone, but it will likely share hardware with last year’s flagship Mate 40 Pro. The naming scheme also suggests this will be a more sweeping upgrade than the Mate Xs announced last year. Huawei has showcased some impressive hardware in the past and we may see more of it with the upcoming launch. But it’s hard to be so excited knowing that the phone will probably never come from China or run Google apps.
