Design
Incredibly thin at its slimmest point.
Key updates being the hinge, durability, camera quality and speedier fast charging.
The Mate Xs 2 is a fantastic piece of foldable hardware.

Larger folding screen than competition.
A larger tablet screen, and a comfortable front display when in smartphone mode.
Software
The Mate Xs 2 looks almost identical to the original Mate Xs at a glance.
Audio
The Mate Xs 2’s stereo speakers get plenty loud, and is smart enough to switch channels based on which way round you’re holding the phone.

Improved latch mechanism vs original.
