Huawei Mate Xs technical sheet
The Huawei Mate Xs suits buyers seeking a foldable phone with a large screen, but its 300 g weight is higher than that of almost all phones of its time. Its folding OLED display measures 8 inches and has 414 ppi, among the best pixel densities of phones launched around the same time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, with expandable storage available.
The main camera pairs a 1/1.7″ sensor, larger than those in most phones of its time, with optical image stabilization. A telephoto camera adds 3x optical zoom, among the best of the period, and there is also an ultrawide camera. Its AnTuTu result is better than that of most phones of its time. The 4500 mAh battery has above-average capacity, while 55 W charging is among the highest of its time.
Connectivity is better than that of most phones launched around the same time, with 5G, NFC and dual Nano-SIM. One notable limitation for users who rely on Google apps is that the Mate Xs has no Google Services. Its overall NeoScore is 6.1. It is a compelling fit for buyers who put a foldable design, a large display and camera flexibility first, and can accept the weight and lack of Google Services.
