Huawei Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design Debuts with Andy Lau at September Launch Event

At the launch, Lau said that life is not a single-choice question with only a left or right option; each side has its own scenery and story, and people should measure their own path with their own legs. His remarks drew discussion because they resonated with many who feel torn between work and life, stability and adventure. Huawei linked that message to the new device, which features a tri-fold form that can be closed or unfolded to either side. Users can keep the phone compact while commuting, expand it for reading documents and working, or switch to another posture for sharing the screen with others. The design does not force a permanent state but leaves the choice to the user.

Andy Lau has collaborated with the Ultimate Design brand for three years. In 2024, when the first Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design was released, the video “Composed and Unique, Extraordinary as One” made the label widely known. In 2025, when the Huawei Mate XTs Ultimate Design arrived, Lau gave a talk titled “The Opening and Closing of Life.” He later helped create the theme song “Extraordinary,” again interpreting the spirit through music.

According to Leiphone, the new Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design adds an ULTIMATE DESIGN emblem on the waistline of the body for the first time. The restrained placement matches the brand’s long-standing approach of conveying attitude through detail rather than noise.

The report also noted that cumulative shipments of Huawei’s tri-fold products have surpassed one million units, showing the category has moved beyond the niche stage. The Ultimate Design series began in 2023, introduced its first tri-fold phone in 2024, iterated with the Mate XTs in 2025, and now reaches a more mature stage with the Mate XT 2 in design, technology and experience. Huawei has advanced the product line through generations and reinforced the meaning of “Ultimate Design” with its brand ambassador.
