Huawei is preparing two separate launch events in September, according to a credible leaker known as Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo.
The tri-fold Mate XT2 might launch early in the month, while the flagship Mate 90 series will follow in late September.

This timeline aligns with what other tipsters have suggested in recent weeks.
Huawei was previously expected to launch the Mate 90 lineup in November, as in previous years.
However, multiple leaks now indicate the timeline has shifted to September, likely because Huawei wants to coincide with new iPhones.
What We Know About the Mate XT2
The Mate XT2 is technically Huawei's third tri-fold phone, following the original Mate XT and the Mate XTs refresh that launched last September.

According to reports, the new tri-fold will feature a 3nm-based Kirin 9050 Pro chipset, a battery above 6,000mAh, and a redesigned hinge that reduces the screen crease on the 10.2-inch unfolded display.
Huawei is also expected to offer new color options, including Mystic Black, Auspicious Red, Crimson Purple, and Bright White.
Mate 90 Series Details
The Mate 90 series is Huawei's next mainline flagships, including the standard model, Pro, Pro Max, and RS variants.
Reportedly, Huawei is moving to flat screens across the line.
The Mate 90 Pro Max and Mate 90 RS are also tipped to use dual periscope telephoto cameras.

The phones will have battery capacity in the range of 6,800mAh to 7,000mAh, paired with a new 6.9-inch display.
Both device lines are expected to run on the same Kirin 9050 Pro chipset as the tri-fold.
Huawei has not confirmed either launch date.
DCS has a track record of accurate calls on past Huawei devices, which adds some weight to this report.
