Patent reveals Huawei foldable smartphone with six cameras and a stylus, could be the Mate X2
Huawei announced the Mate X foldable smartphone last year in February and later in September, it filed a patent with USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for a new foldable smartphone with stylus support.
Now, we are looking at another patent filed by the Chinese phone maker with EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), and it reveals yet another foldable smartphone which could be the Mate X2.
Huawei Mate XThe patent describes a form factor similar to the first-gen Mate X, but there are some differences.
For starters, the new phone folds inwards while the Mate X folds outwards. Besides, the Mate X came with four cameras, but this one will have a total of six cameras - two on the front housed on the vertical sidebar, and four at the back.

Thanks for the reply. I've checked the case, and the one shown in this article is definitely the one for Mate 20 Pro. The Smart Case for Mate 30/Mate 30 Pro, P30/P30 Pro, and P20/P20 Pro has a half or near-full secondary screen.

That's just a Huawei smart case. Probably either p30 pro or mate 20/30 pro
