We have written more than once that Huawei is working on a new generation of foldable smartphone Mate X, but unfortunately, the wait
What is known
According to the founder of Display SupplyChain Consultants Ross Young, Huawei was going to reveal the Mate X2 later this year, but the announcement of the device was delayed until 2021. Naturally, US sanctions are to blame. Because of them, the Chinese manufacturer lost the supply of many components. For example, Samsung AMOLED panels. According to rumors, they were to be used in a new foldable device. In addition, as of September 15, Huawei will cease cooperation with TSMC, which was previously involved in the creation of all of the company’s proprietary processors. By the way, due to sanctions, Huawei has further postponed global sales of the flagship line of Huawei Mate 40 smartphones, although the announcement of new products will take place as scheduled.
Shouldn't be a surprise, but we hear the Mate X2 won't launch in 2020 due to the US government's restrictions on Huawei. We have had to lower our foldable forecasts…

Let's remember, according to leaks, Huawei Mate X2passes under the code name Teton. The device is credited with a plastic screen (CPI) instead of ultra-thin glass (UTG) and an appearance similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 2. That is, unlike the Mate X and Mate Xs, the new product will have two displays: the main one and an additional one on the outside.
