Editorial report

Huawei Mate X5 16 GB / 512 GB / China / ALT-AL10 technical sheet

The Huawei Mate X5 suits anyone looking for a foldable phone with a large display and a versatile camera setup; the trade-off is its 245 g weight and 11.1 mm thickness, making it heavier and thicker than most phones of its time. The 7.85-inch OLED display offers room for reading and using multiple apps. Its 426 ppi pixel density is higher than that of most displays of its time, while 120 Hz is typical. It also has a 6.4-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate.

The camera system pairs a 50 MP sensor with optical image stabilization and a telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, among the best of its time. That optical reach is a particular strength for photographing distant subjects, and video recording supports 4K at up to 60 fps. The 5,060 mAh battery supports 66 W wired charging, faster than that of most phones of its time, and 50 W wireless charging, among the fastest. Reverse wireless charging is rated at 7.5 W.

This configuration combines 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of expandable storage with HarmonyOS 4. Its AnTuTu v9 result of 769,000 is better than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual SIM. The overall NeoScore is 7.5, putting it ahead of most phones launched around the same time. It is a compelling foldable for anyone prioritizing optical zoom and wireless charging and willing to carry a heavier, thicker device.
