The Huawei Mate Xs 2 is a remarkable foldable smartphone that boasts a refined wraparound form factor, making it lighter and more portable than its predecessor. With a brighter screen, high refresh rate, and fast charging capabilities, this device checks many boxes for tech enthusiasts. However, the battery life is woefully inadequate, and the lack of 5G connectivity and Google support may deter some users. In a market where competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series are evolving rapidly, can the Mate Xs 2 truly hold its own?

The device boasts a sleek design, a 6.51-inch AMOLED display, and a capable Snapdragon 695 chipset. The camera setup is also impressive, with a triple-camera configuration that can capture high-quality photos and videos. The phone's performance is satisfactory, handling everyday tasks such as browsing, watching videos, and playing games like Mobile Legends and Asphalt 9 without any issues. However, it does heat up quickly when gaming, which might be a concern for some users.
