Huawei is reportedly planning to launch the Mate X8 on November 24, according to a new rumor out of China. The leak adds the foldable will be thinner and lighter than the Mate X5, Mate X6, and Mate X7.
Launch timing and design
The rumor specifically cites a November 24 launch date. It also claims the Mate X8 will be both thinner and lighter than Huawei's previous foldables, the Mate X5, Mate X6, and Mate X7. The device is said to be offered in the same color options as the Mate X7 plus an additional color described as 'bold and bright' (machine translated from Chinese).
Ruiying Z10 external camera module
The report states the Mate X8 will support the Ruiying Z10 external camera module. That module is described as using a 1-inch type RYYB sensor and providing 10x continuous optical zoom across a 24-240mm focal range with an aperture range from f/2.0 to f/4.5. The Ruiying Z10 appeared as part of the Mate 90 Pro Max Collector's Edition in prior announcements, which the rumor says might indicate a Mate X8 Collector's Edition could appear as well.
Specifications and hardware
According to a previous rumor, the Mate X8 will be powered by Kirin 9050 and Kirin 9050 Pro chipsets, and there may be a version with a Privacy Display. Other hardware details circulating in leaks include:
- 6.5-inch cover display and an 8.15-inch main display
- 50MP main camera using a 1/1.28-inch type sensor with variable aperture
- 50MP periscope telephoto camera
- Battery capacity of at least 6,000 mAh
These specification claims are presented as rumors and attributions reflect the reporting trail rather than official confirmation from Huawei.
