Huawei’s next-generation wide non-foldable smartphone could arrive earlier than initially expected, according to Huawei Central. The outlet reports that the device may debut before its previously anticipated timeframe, though no exact date has been confirmed.
Separately, TrendForce reports that Huawei is preparing to launch the Mate 90 and the Mate XT2 in September. The same report claims the devices will feature new "Tau Scaling" chips, which are said to deliver performance comparable to 3nm processors.
The reports align on a September window for Huawei’s upcoming hardware. Huawei Central also lists the Mate 90 series among smartphones the company will likely release next month, alongside the XT2 foldable.
Additional details from Memeburn suggest a specific variant, the Mate 90 Pro Max, could include a 3D Kirin chip and a 7,000mAh battery. The Sunday Guardian has also compiled leaks on the Mate 90 series, including expected pricing, a new Kirin 2026 chip, and battery specifications, with comparisons drawn to Apple’s iPhone 18 lineup.
None of the reports provide a confirmed launch date, and Huawei has not made an official announcement. The information comes from industry watchers and leak aggregators rather than company statements.
What to watch next: Whether Huawei confirms the September launch window and reveals final specifications for the Mate 90 and XT2 in the coming weeks.
