The teaser image for the new Mate X2 shows the phone from the side open at an angle, with a glow on the inside of the hinge. the picture is also a reference to the timing of the event, which will take place at 8 PM china time (1 PM Nigeria) on February 22nd.

The announcement of the new phone will concur with Mobile World Congress Shanghai next week, which has swapped its traditional summer slot with the larger Barcelona event. As of now, the GSM Association still plans for MWC Barcelona to take place in person from June 28th, but those plans could of course change depending on the pandemic situation, and phone companies are likely to have planned new device launches for around February and March as usual.
