In Feb 2021, Huawei introduced its Mate X2. The new model in the foldable phone lineup became so popular on debut that its pre-booking was closed a few times. The company seems to be working on a new vertically foldable phone like the Galaxy Z Flip lineup.
This morning, a Chinese blogger revealed that we will be able to see the all-new Mate V before the end of this year. It adopts an upper and lower folding screen design and is also powered by the latest Kirin 9000 chipset.
It is not known whether the Kirin 9000 chipset will support 5G. However, it is worth mentioning that the chipset is already available in the 4G version as well, having the exact specifications but lacking 5G network connectivity. Last time, the Kirin 9000 4G chipset was used in the Huawei P50 series.
Currently, in the market, many Chinese smartphone manufacturers are looking forward to introducing their first-ever horizontally foldable phones (including OPPO and Vivo). At the same time, Huawei is taking its folding phone series to another level by introducing the all-new Mate V with a vertical folding solution.
Currently, a few models such as the Galaxy Z Flip series and Motorola Razr will be the main competitors of the upcoming Huawei Mate V.
