Editorial report
Huawei Mate X3 8 GB / 256 GB / Global / ALT-L29 technical sheet
The Huawei Mate X3 suits buyers looking for a foldable phone with far-reaching optical zoom. Its trade-offs are clear: at 242 g and 11.1 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.
The 7.85-inch OLED display has a pixel density of 426 ppi, higher than that of most displays of its time. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical of phones launched around the same time. The camera stands among the best: 5x optical zoom is among the highest of its time, and the 50 MP camera includes optical image stabilization. The 4800 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 66 W wired charging is faster than most and 50 W wireless charging is among the fastest.
This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage. The Mate X3 is also sold in configurations from 8 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 512 GB. Its overall NeoScore of 7.4 is better than most phones of its time. It makes the strongest case for buyers who prioritize a foldable design, optical zoom, and fast wireless charging, provided they are comfortable with its greater weight and thickness and lower-than-most battery capacity.
