Editor Rating
4.2/5

Huawei Mate X2 is the latest flagship offering to join the popular Mate X lineup of foldable smartphones sold by the Chinese brand, which gets a more refined design and upgraded internals. The folding mechanism and the frame have been bolstered using lightweight but tough aluminium, while the back panel is made from glass. The device is slimmer than the previous generation model, with a more flexible and vibrant OLED display. You get another regular OLED display that acts as the cover screen, with both featuring a 90Hz refresh rate to make the smartphone seem more responsive. On the inside, you get the latest Kirin processor, which enables 5G connectivity as well.
