At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019, Huawei had showcased the Huawei Mate X foldable phone. It is expected to hit the market in the coming month. A new patent that was filed by Huawei with United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in February was been granted approval on Sept. 26. The same patent was also included in the database of World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). The new patent showcases a design for a foldable phone like Mate X along with a dedicated slot for a stylus.
In the renders created from the patent images of the new foldable phone design by Lets Go Digital, the compartment for the stylus can be seen in the side bar where the camera system is present. Somehow the company could be making a space to insert the stylus in the sidebar. The Mate X has a USB-C port in the same location. Probably, this could be the design of the rumored Mate X 2.
The visualizations of the alleged Mate X 2 suggest that the addition of a stylus compartment could result in reduction of battery size. At present, there is no information available on the specifications of the successor of the Mate X.

It is not the first time that the Huawei phone has been seen with a stylus. The Mate 20 X phablet from last year that featured a massive 7.2-inch display supported the company’s M Pen stylus. Since a foldable phone offers user with a larger experience, the inclusion of a stylus will offer better productivity experience. The Mate X has a price tag of 2,300 euros. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the purported successor model with stylus support commands a costlier price tag.
Huawei is expected to announce its new P-series of flagship phones in the first quarter of 2020. Probably, the company may also unleash the purported Mate X 2 with stylus support alongside the next P-series phones.
