HUAWEI has announced a flagship product launch event in Dubai, scheduled for December 12, 2024, 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 unveiling of a new foldable device.

Possible Launch: Mate X6 or Mate XT Ultimate Design -

While the exact product remains undisclosed, speculation points to the Mate X6, which debuted in China last week, or the innovative Mate XT Ultimate Design touted as the world’s first tri-fold smartphone. The tagline’s reference to a “new era” suggests the event could spotlight the Mate XT, aligning with its groundbreaking design.

According to reports from Android Headlines, the Mate XT Ultimate Design is set for a global release in Q1 2025, potentially at MWC 2025 in Barcelona or a dedicated HUAWEI event, which might coincide with the Dubai launch. Following its Chinese launch in September, the Mate XT has already drawn global interest, further fueling speculation about its appearance at this event.

HUAWEI might also use the event to showcase other recently released products, such as the MatePad Pro 13.2 (2025) and FreeBuds Pro 4, both unveiled alongside the Mate X6 in China. There’s also a chance the HUAWEI Mate 70 Series for global markets could be teased, though its exact status remains uncertain.
