The huawei mate x has been officially presented

This Sunday of MWC 2019 is leaving us with many news. One of the most important models to be presented at the event is the Huawei Mate X, the first folding smartphone from the Chinese brand. A device that arrives a few days after the Samsung device. Although in this case we have a different system.

The Huawei Mate X has been officially presented

The phone does not have a secondary panel like the Samsung phone. In addition, the screen occupies almost the entire front of the device. A model that is also the first to arrive with 5G by the brand.

Specifications Huawei Mate X

This Huawei Mate X is a top of the range. The Chinese brand has not skimped on details in it. An innovative model in terms of design, but which also meets its specifications, very powerful within the high-end Android range today. These are its complete specifications:

• Display: 8-inch OLED unfolded, 6.6-inch front (folded) and 6.39-inch rear (folded) with a resolution of 2, 480 x 2, 200 pixels Processor: Kirin 980 with Balong 5000RAM modem: 8 GB Internal storage: 512 GB, expandable with 256 GB microSD Rear cameras: 40 MP wide angle + 16 MP ultra wide angle + 8 MP telephoto Connectivity: Dual 5G / 4G, Bluetooth 5.0, Wifi 802.11 a / c, NFC, USB-C Battery: 4, 500 mAh with Quick Charge 55W Dimensions Open: 161.3 x 146.2 x 5.4mm Dimensions Closed: 161.3 x 78.3 x 11mm Weight: 295 grams Operating system: Android Pie with EMUI 9

In this Huawei Mate X we find a screen without notch or holes. We can fold it into two different sizes and when it is fully unfolded it is 8 inches. A perfect size to see all kinds of content in it, in addition to being able to work with total comfort, as they have said from the company. We do not have front cameras in this case.

All cameras are located in the rear. Although by folding the device we can also use them as front cameras. So there is certainly a lot of potential in the system. It is a triple rear camera, following in the wake of its high-end last year. The battery is another strong point of the phone, with a capacity of 4, 500 mAh, which also comes with the 55W Huawei SuperCharge fast charge. Thus, it becomes the most powerful on the market.

One of the aspects that most attract attention on the phone is its low thickness. If compared to the Samsung phone, we can see that this Huawei Mate X is very fine. Even folded it is barely 11mm thick. Which undoubtedly makes it much more comfortable to hold or carry. On the other hand, we are facing the first phone with 5G of the Chinese brand. It is something possible thanks to the presence of its 5G modem, presented in January.

Price and availability

For the launch of the Huawei Mate X to the market we will have to wait a few months. It is expected to launch in stores in the middle of this year. Although there is currently no specific date for arrival in stores, it may be official about June.

What we do know is the price of the device. Specifically, in its only version of 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, we can expect a price of 2, 299 euros. What do you think about this first folding phone from Huawei?
