A Weibo leak suggests Huawei could launch the thinner and lighter Mate X8 foldable on November 24, possibly alongside the compact MateBook Fold S. The foldable might also support an external Ruiying Z10 camera system featuring 10x continuous optical zoom.
A leak suggests Huawei could introduce its next foldable, the Huawei Mate X8, on November 24. According to Weibo tipster GuoJing, the smartphone is expected to debut later this month, and the company may also release a small computer called the MateBook Fold S. The tipster mentioned that the Mate X8 series, featuring a standard model and a Collector’s Edition, will be lighter and thinner than all its predecessors. The lineup may have undergone significant design changes and could introduce a new look to the market.
Pre-orders for the MateBook Fold S will open on November 14. That small computer is said to feature a Pura X-like cover screen on the back, with color options consisting of Cloud Sea Blue, White, and Black.
Regarding the Mate X8, the leak indicates that the phone can follow almost the same color schemes as the 2025 foldable model. Last year’s Mate X7 arrived in five color variants:
The upcoming foldable is likely to offer the same colors with probable rear panel design tweaks, while the tipster also speculated that a new, bright shade could be available in addition to the mentioned options.
According to the tipster, the Huawei Mate X8 could use a teleconverter. It might debut with a large rear camera mount to support the company’s latest Ruiying XMAGE Z10 external lens, offering an additional 10x zoom capability.
The Ruiying Z10 is reportedly an entire camera system. Its technical specifications include a 1-inch 50MP RYYB imaging sensor with 10x continuous optical zoom, a focal length of 24mm to 240mm, and a variable aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.5.
The teleconverter also features a HyperClick mounting design that aligns with the Mate 90 Pro Max Collector’s camera bump and captures images comparable to a DSLR lens.
