Huawei Mate X2 is a next-generation folding smartphone and successor to Huawei Mate X launched in China. The Mate X-Series smartphones from the manufacturer mainly focussed on the folding capabilities of the screen. The newer generation Mate X2 has improved in leaps and bounds above the predecessor in all means such as cameras and display quality.
Unlike, the previous generation of the Mate X model, the Huawei Mate X2 smartphone folds inside instead of outwards. The design aspect of this particular device is similar to Samsung Galaxy Fold’s design with the same folding mechanism.
