Huawei today introduces a few products in Barcelona just ahead of the MWC 2019 event that is taking place this week. They are the new Huawei MateBook<\/g> X Pro, Huawei MateBook<\/g> in 13-inch and 14-inch. However, I believe many who are there are only interested in this product, the first foldable phone from Huawei – The HUAWEI Mate X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As you may already saw the trend, the next generation of smartphones are<\/g> foldable and with 5G connectivity. The HUAWEI Mate X has both of these components and Huawei is definitely not shy to compare it with competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how it looks like with the front and back of the phone. It has a 6.6-inch screen on the front and a 6.38-inch screen on the rear. When it is opened up, it has a 8-inch screen with a screen ratio of 8:7.1 (almost a square).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When folded, you can see the difference in screen size amongst the competitors (although I think that Apple should not even be compared here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is a comparison on the Huawei Mate X and the Samsung Galaxy Fold when unfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you noticed, Huawei and Samsung has a different approach when making a foldable phone. Huawei uses 2 screens while Samsung uses 3. What is common is that both companies took time to perfect the hinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Huawei’s Mate X, you are looking at the Falcon Wing Design which, according to Richard Yu, took 3 years to design and perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It helps to retain zero gap when the Mate X is folded and has over 100 components in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Huawei is making the HUAWEI Mate X only in one color – Interstellar Blue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And they also cleverly design a casing to protect it. I think this is really needed given the fact that when it is folded, the screen is going to be exposed to the elements near the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, the internal in this Mate X. It has the bell and whistles with Huawei’s latest technology inside it, starting with the 5G modem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Together with Balong 5000 and Kirin 980, it makes a perfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is a summary of the Mate X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And it comes with Dual SIM with one capable of 5G. If you need more storage, just remove one SIM and put in the Huawei NM Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I will try not to be an expert here. Here is the claim by Huawei on the NSA&SA Network Architecture. Mate X supports both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you think that the 40W SuperCharging on HUAWEI Mate20 is impressive, Huawei introduces the new 55W Super Charge. Love this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is a scenario comparing the Huawei 55W SuperCharge with the iPhone Xs Max. It takes just 30 minutes to charge up to 85% on a 4,500mAh battery. Impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this is even more impressive. The charger on the HUAWEI Mate X can be used to charge laptops, and not just Huawei laptops (up to 65W).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the (almost) finale during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we need to know the price, right? Here are the pricing and availability of the HUAWEI Mate X. Not sure if Singapore will get it or not. It is really expensive at 2,299 Euro (Approx. SGD3,528)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Check out the official photos of the HUAWEI Mate X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huawei\u2019s flagship smartphones have always come with powerful cameras, and the HUAWEI Mate X is no different. Inside the smartphone\u2019s slim body is the latest Leica cameras, supporting the most advanced imaging features to date. The foldable design makes it possible for the camera system to play the role of both front and rear cameras.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the HUAWEI Mate X comes with an integrated Fingerprint Power Button that enables users to power up the device with one tap, offering a secure and convenient experience.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
