Huawei announced its first foldable smartphone named Huawei Mate X at the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain earlier this year. However, the phone’s launch has been delayed for a couple of times and is yet to go on sale.
The phone’s launch was delayed from May to June and then again from June to September. Recently, it was reported that the launch of Mate X has been delayed again and will now be available for purchase from November.
Now, new reports claim that the final version of the Huawei Mate X that will launch by the end of this year will come with a different set of specifications. The phone is now claimed to be powered by the upcoming Kirin 990 flagship chipset.
Further, the smartphone will come with triple rear cameras, having the same setup that we saw on the Huawei P30-series smartphones. This is an upgrade over the sensors similar to the Mate 20-series. The new sensor uses RYYB instead of RGB, which should be offering incredible low-light performance.
The Huawei Mate X has also visited TENAA again, which shows that the smartphone now weighs 300 grams compared to 287 grams in the previous listing. However, the phone’s dimensions of 161.3 x 146.2 x 11mm have remained unchanged.
The smartphone comes with what the company calls is “Falcon Wing Design”. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Fold, it folds completely flat with no visible gap. The company says that the hinge system used in the phone is patented and has over 100 components.
The Huawei Mate X features a large 8-inch screen with a 2480 x 2200 pixels screen resolution and an 8:7.1 aspect ratio when unfolded with pretty thin bezels. When folded, it transforms into a dual-display phone – one side is a 6.6-inch (2480 x 1148 pixels) 19.5:9 display while the other is a 6.38-inch (2480 x 892 pixels) 25:9 display.
It comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has dual SIM support (nano only) but only SIM 1 supports 5G. You can also swap out the second SIM card for Huawei’s NM card up to 256GB. The device also comes with the 7nm Balong 5000 modem which brings 5G support to the device.
The phone runs the EMUI 9.1.1 custom interface, which is based on Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. As for the connectivity options, the device supports NFC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and USB Type-C port.
The device has two built-in batteries, which offers a total capacity of 4,500mAh. Huawei has also debuted its new SupercCharge fast charging technology which supports up to 55W. The company claims that the new SuperCharge allows users to charge the device from empty to 85 percent in just 30 minutes.
