Summary
Huawei opens the showdown at noon Sunday with the Mate XT 2, while Xiaomi follows in the evening with the Xiaomi 18 Fold, starting a month-long premium smartphone contest in China.
Mate XT 2 centers on Huawei’s tri-fold redesign, adding a cover screen, a 3.5 mm body, an industry-first foldable privacy screen and the new Logic Fold chip billed as its strongest Kirin yet.
Xiaomi’s 18 Fold takes a wide-fold approach with a 5.38-inch outer screen, 7.58-inch inner display, 3nm Xring 03 chip and Leica-backed triple cameras led by a 200MP main sensor.
The foldable launches are set to be followed by broader flagship rollouts including Huawei’s Mate 90, Xiaomi’s 18, Honor’s Magic 9, Vivo’s X500 and Oppo’s Find X10 series.
