Huawei Unveils Its New Foldable Smartphone In South Africa

With a few of its flagship releases going rather under the radar in 2022, Huawei came out blazing with its latest lineup of devices. The launch, which took place at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg, played host to media, retail and network partners, as well as VIP guests as part of the Xperience Event. With a slew of new flagship releases, the main launch would be the all-new, Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable smartphone in South Africa.

Bending the Rules with the Huawei Mate Xs 2

Huawei announced its first foldable smartphone back in 2019 with the Mate X. The unit itself wasn’t publicly available in South Africa but paved the way, shortly thereafter, for the release of the Mate Xs a few months later. Now in its third iteration, the brand released its new flagship foldable smartphone, the Huawei Mate Xs 2.

It receives a massive overhaul across the board, including being flatter when unfolded, using the new Falcon Wing Design. This new hinge and screen integrates more precisely to improve on this feature. Additionally, the entire device has been enhanced, including an industry-first composite screen, absorbing impact when dropped so you don’t ever have to worry about bumps and bruises.

Moving beyond its Leica camera partnership, the Huawei Mate Xs 2 has a 50MP True-Chroma Camera to capture true-to-life colours. Additionally, the Huawei XD Optics enhances image quality with new information recovery technology to improve clarity.

The Huawei Mate Xs 2 will be available from 1 September 2022 at a retail price of R39,999 in South Africa.
