Huawei Mate Xs 2 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Mate Xs 2 is powered by the Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 4G chipset, fabricated on a 5 nm process. This is backed by an octa-core CPU configuration consisting of a primary 2.84 GHz Cortex-X1 core, three 2.42 GHz Cortex-A78 cores, and four 1.80 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. The Adreno 660 GPU further complements the setup, ensuring high performance for intensive applications and gaming.

The software experience varies with regions: the device runs on EMUI 12 internationally, without Google Play Services, while in China it employs HarmonyOS 2.0. This differentiation might influence user experience, especially for those reliant on Google’s ecosystem.
