Summary
A new photo from a Huawei promotion event shows Richard Yu holding a phone that appears to have 3 panels, fueling speculation it is the unreleased Mate XT 2 tri-fold.
The image surfaced while Yu was promoting the HarmonyOS-backed Enjoy G9 and a newly launched rugged SUV, fitting his pattern of previewing upcoming devices in public before launch.
A Weibo tipster said the tri-fold could be teased by the end of August and released in early September, adding that Huawei's Kirin 9030 Pro is the likeliest chip.
Huawei has used similar sightings for the past 2 years, though this device remains unconfirmed because the blurry photo could also show another model in a case.
