Editorial report

Huawei Mate X2 technical sheet

The Huawei Mate X2 suits anyone looking for a foldable phone with a large screen and a versatile camera setup. Its main trade-off is its size and weight: at 295 g and 14.7 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time. The 8-inch OLED display has a pixel density of 413 ppi, among the highest for phones launched around then; its 90 Hz refresh rate is typical. The 6.45-inch cover display also refreshes at 90 Hz.

The camera setup pairs a 50 MP sensor measuring 1/1.28″, among the largest in phones of its time, with 10x optical zoom, also among the highest. The main sensor records 4K video at up to 60 fps and includes optical image stabilization. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage; the Mate X2 is sold in configurations ranging from 8 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 512 GB. Its performance and connectivity stand out among phones launched around the same time. The 4500 mAh battery capacity is typical, while 55 W wired charging is faster than on most phones of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 6.7. The Mate X2 is a strong fit for people who prioritize a foldable design, long-range optical zoom and a high-density screen, provided its weight and thickness suit their needs.
