According to a tipster, last month, the Mate X2 might feature an 8-inch (2480x2200) pixels display with 120Hz refresh rate. There might also be a secondary display of 6.4-inch and 1160x2270 pixels resolution. The device could be running on the company's own HiSilicon Kirin 9000 SoC along with 4,400mAh battery and 66W fast charging.

As for the cameras, the Mate X2 is rumoured to feature a quad rear camera setup, including a 50-megapixel primary sensor. Also rumoured is that the Mate X2 could have 10x hybrid zoom and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. You can expect the foldable handset to run on Android 10 upon launch.
