Huawei Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu shared a short teaser for the device, in which he is seen wielding a stylus on its main screen. The device in the video comes in a new white color with gold accents and seems to be in the same size category as its predecessor.

Based on previous rumors, Mate XTs will bring an upgraded chipset – likely the Kirin 9020 with satellite connectivity. We’re also expecting a new 50MP main camera with variable aperture alongside an updated periscope telephoto lens.
