Huawei will attend MWC 2020, Mate Xs expected

Huawei officially announced on Weibo that it will hold its MWC 2020 Global launch press conference on February 23 at 14:00 CET in Barcelona, Spain.

Huawei has not revealed any information about what it's going to launch but the promo image hints the global launch of Huawei Mate X. The promo image also points at a showcase of a bunch of products including smart wearables, notebooks, and IoT devices.

In January, Tencent News reported that supply chain sources said Huawei will release the upgraded foldable phone Mate Xs at the MWC conference and it will be available in March after the release.

The sources revealed that the supply of this Mate Xs screen will still be based on BOE and the folding screen will be less difficult to produce than the first generation. They said the output will also increase so prices are lowered, and supply will increase.

Earlier Huawei said that after the launch of the Mate X in the Chinese market, the monthly sales volume was more than 100,000 units. This 16,999 yuan device is very popular.

As for the details of the Mate Xs, industry chain sources revealed that it has made many adjustments in the design, such as a more stable hinge, higher durability, a more foldable screen, a relatively small body, and easier portability.

At the same time, after collecting some problems in the use of the first-generation users, Huawei improved the system's adaptation to the folding screen, which also paved the way for a wider range of sales.

In fact, Richard Yu had clearly stated that Mate Xs will be released in February this year, which will have a better hinge design, a better processor and a better folding screen.

In other words, compared to Mate X, Mate Xs will have better hinges, a stronger display and a Kirin 990 5G processor.

According to He Gang, president of Huawei 's mobile phone product line, Huawei has long been developing the Mate Xs, which will be equipped with the Kirin 990 5G processor, and is expected to go on sale in March next year.
