Huawei has announced its latest book-style foldable smartphone, the Mate X3, in China. The phone boasts several impressive features, including a lightweight design that makes it lighter than an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Mate X3 features an 7.85-inch flexible OLED display with a resolution of 2496 × 2224 Pixels, providing users with an immersive viewing experience. The phone is 5.3 millimeters thick when unfolded. The phone also comes equipped with a powerful Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 4G Mobile Platform processor and 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth and fast performance.
One of the most notable features of the Mate X3 is its weight. Despite its large display and robust specs, the phone weighs in at just 238g, making it lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which weighs 240g.
In addition to its lightweight design, the Mate X3 also features a 50-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 12-megapixel periscope-style telephoto camera, which is capable of Digital Zoom, Optical Zoom, Hybrid Zoom. The phone also comes with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB of internal storage and a 4800mAh battery that supports 11V/6A (Max 66 W) super-fast charging.
As the foldable smartphone market continues to grow, Huawei’s Mate X3 is sure to be a popular choice among consumers looking for a powerful and lightweight device with a large, flexible display.
However, it’s worth noting that Huawei’s recent devices have been affected by US trade restrictions, which have limited the company’s access to essential components and software. As a result, the Mate X3 will not come with Google apps and services, such as the Google Play Store, which may be a drawback for some users.
Despite these challenges, Huawei has remained committed to innovation and pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology. The company’s foldable devices, in particular, have been praised for their unique design and impressive specs.
The Mate X3 is set to be released in China later this month, with prices starting at around 12,999 yuan (approximately $1,895). However, it remains unclear when the phone will be available in other markets around the world.
As the competition in the foldable smartphone market heats up, it will be interesting to see how Huawei’s latest offering stacks up against other devices, such as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Xiaomi’s Mix Fold 2. Ultimately, consumers will have to weigh the pros and cons of each device and decide which one best meets their needs and preferences.
