Huawei Mate X8 spotted in the wild as launch date leaks

Ahead of Huawei’s announcement, the alleged live unit and debut date of the Huawei Mate X8 have emerged.

The Huawei Mate X7 arrived in November 2025. It seems the Chinese giant is planning to unveil its successor around the same time, with a recent leak suggesting it will arrive on November 24.

While we are waiting for the company’s confirmation on the matter, Consumer Business Group Chairman Richard Yu was spotted holding an unreleased Huawei phone believed to be the Mate X8. The device appears to be largely similar to the X7, but has minor changes to the shape of the camera island.

According to reports, the phone is reportedly armed with Kirin 9050 and Kirin 9050 Pro chips, which are an upgrade over the Kirin 9030 Pro in the Mate X7. In front, it will offer a 6.5-inch cover display, while its foldable main screen will measure 8.15 inches. The phone is allegedly armed with the Privacy Display feature.

​Its main camera is a 50MP 1/1.28″ RYYB lens with variable aperture, which will be paired with a 50MP periscope telephoto camera. The phone is also reportedly getting an external 10x optical zoom lens. Inside, the phone will be powered by a huge 6000mAh battery.

​Ultimately, the foldable device is rumored to be priced around CN¥10,000 ($1,497).
