HUAWEI has announced a flagship product launch event in Dubai next week, with the tagline “Unfold the classic as a new era of flagship foldable excellence begins.” The announcement, shared on X (formerly Twitter), hints at the reveal of a new foldable device.
Potential Launch: Mate X6 or Mate XT Ultimate Design
While the exact device remains unclear, HUAWEI’s latest foldable, the Mate X6, which launched in China just last week, could be part of the reveal. The phrase “new era of flagship foldable excellence” may point to the Mate XT Ultimate Design, a world-first tri-fold smartphone.
According to Android Headlines, the Mate XT Ultimate Design is expected to launch globally in Q1 2025, either at MWC 2025 in Barcelona or at a separate HUAWEI event, which could coincide with this launch.
The Mate XT, which launched in China this September as the world’s first tri-fold smartphone, has already garnered significant attention. Global teasers following its Chinese debut strongly suggest that the Mate XT may be featured at the upcoming Dubai event.
Other Potential Launches
In addition to the foldable device, HUAWEI may also showcase other recent products, including the MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025) and FreeBuds Pro 4, both launched alongside the Mate X6 in China. The fate of the HUAWEI Mate 70 Series for global markets is still uncertain, but it is expected that it could be teased during the event.
Launch Event Details
As per the announcement, the HUAWEI flagship product launch will take place in Dubai on December 12, 2024. Further teasers are expected in the coming days, which will provide more clarity on the specific device being launched.
