Huawei Mate X2 foldable phone with 8-inch display and quad cameras launched: Price and specifications

Huawei Mate X2 has officially launched in China as the successor to the Mate X from 2019. The Mate X2 features an 8-inch foldable display when unfolded but when folded, you get a 6.45-inch flagship smartphone that is packed to the brim with the latest hardware. It folds inwards as opposed to the outward folding mechanism we have seen in the previous generation.

The Huawei Mate X2 has launched in China starting at CNY 17,999 for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage and CNY 18,999 for the 512GB storage option. This roughly translates to a starting price of Rs 2,00,000 by direct conversion. Having said that, there is no official word on the launch of the Mate X2 outside of China yet.
