Huawei has been rumored to bring an inward
folding smartphone with UTG glass and stylus for some time. Now, we have a
patent from CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) which
gives us a look at the possible Mate X2 through several renders that reveal an
interesting sub-display strip next to the main panel as well as a stylus.
The patents refer to it as a “connected
sub-display” which will bring contextual menus and additional app information.
It will also house the two front-facing selfie cams while the back of the phone
comes with four additional camera modules. It looks like the small display
panel will be raised from the main screen while its bottom will house a stylus.
If this patent does make its way to
Huawei’s production lines, it would be the first foldable with a stylus. It
remains to be seen what else Huawei has in store with its foldable phone
ambitions.
