Editorial report

Huawei Mate X technical sheet

The Huawei Mate X is for buyers who want a large foldable display, with its 295 g weight the clearest compromise: it is among the heaviest phones of its time. Unfolded, its 8-inch OLED display offers a broad canvas, while its 414 ppi pixel density is among the highest of the period. The 86.9% screen-to-body ratio is also among the best. Folded thickness measures 11 mm, among the highest figures for phones launched around the same time.

There is 512 GB of storage, among the largest capacities of its time, and 8 GB of RAM. Its AnTuTu result of 367,308 is above average among phones launched around then. The camera pairs a 1/1.7″ sensor, among the largest of its time, with 2x optical zoom, also among the strongest specifications of its kind. Its 40 MP resolution is above average. Optical image stabilization is absent.

The 4,500 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, and 55 W charging is among the fastest. Connectivity is better than most as well, with 5G, NFC, USB 3.1 and Wi-Fi 5. The NeoScore is 5.6. The Mate X suits buyers who prioritize a spacious foldable screen, ample storage and optical zoom, and can accept substantial weight and a thick folded profile.
